UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 3.29.2016

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  THE VOICE and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE gained 0.1 in final numbers, while CHICAGO FIRE and BEYOND THE TANK lost the same.  (Since someone raised the question this morning, the more precise final rating for NEW GIRL was 0.91, very slightly setting a new series low.)
