UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Thursday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 11.3.2016

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  As expected, the NBC line-up moved downward after adjustment for the THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL local simulcasts:  SUPERSTORE by 0.1 to 1.1, THE GOOD PLACE by 0.2 to 1.2, CHICAGO MED by 0.3 to 1.3, and THE BLACKLIST by 0.2 to 1.1. In addition, THE BIG BANG THEORY and HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER gained 0.1 in final numbers, but THE GREAT INDOORS went down the same.  (Footnote:  in finals, PITCH was only 0.02 ahead of ROSEWOOD, 0.85 vs. 0.83, not quite as impressive as the 0.1 in unrounded numbers.)
