NETWORK FINALS:  We had waited for post-adjustment numbers to take a look at last night’s network ratings, so we’ll do that now. ABC:  the season finale of BATTLEBOTS fell 0.2 from last week to 0.6, and a MATCH GAME rerun followed at 0.4.  CBS:  BIG BROTHER dropped 0.3 to 1.6.  NBC, FOX and CW were all reruns, including BEAUTY & THE BEAST, which was a bit odd considering that there are only 2 episodes left in the series.
