UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Saturday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 8.27.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  CBS’s national PRESEASON NFL game held at 1.0 in final numbers, as did FOX’s 0.8 for UFC FIGHT NIGHT.  Local NFL preemptions were likely responsible for most if not all of the changes on the other networks.  On ABC, the LAST MAN STANDING rerun as well as both episodes of BOSTON EMS fell 0.1.  All of NBC’s line-up dropped 0.1 as well, including both new episodes of AQUARIUS.
