UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 4.26.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  So much for the excitement about CONTAINMENT growing from its premiere, as it gave back that 0.1 bump in final numbers.  (Although holding steady from a debut isn’t bad either.) Elsewhere, THE VOICE and the NCIS: NEW ORLEANS rerun gained 0.1, and the Prince NEW GIRL rerun lost 0.1.
