SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Monday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 7.6.2015

 

Check out our searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.

NETWORK UPDATE:  AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR gained 0.1 in final numbers and the finale of THE ISLAND lost the same.  In addition, WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY fell 0.1.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Not even Shark Week could keep VH1’s LOVE & HIP-HOP from the top of Monday cable, up 0.02 to 1.58, with its AFTERPARTY up 0.08 to 1.15, and TI & TINY up 0.09 to 0.91.  The sharks did fine for Discovery, though, with RETURN OF THE GREAT WHITE at 1.36 and ALIEN SHARKS at 1.28, plus the late-night SHARKS AFTER DARK at 0.77.  USA’s WWE was at 1.24-1.19 over its 3 hours, up about a tenth from last week.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY took a 0.21 leap to 0.90, and ODD MOM OUT gained a tenth to 0.37.  TEEN WOLF (MTV) held extremely well from last week’s season premiere, down just 0.03 to 0.58 (and down a reasonable 0.19 to 1.50 in the targeted F12-34 demo).  On TNT, MAJOR CRIMES dropped 0.16 to 0.52, and MURDER IN THE FIRST was down 0.09 to a seriously low (for TNT) 0.23.  ABCFamily revamped its Monday line-up, with THE FOSTERS remaining at 8PM and gaining 0.02 to 0.51 (and up 0.07 to 1.25 in F12-34s), then CHASING LIFE premiering at an unimpressive 0.27 (0.69 in the demo), with BECOMING US relegated to 10PM and dipping 0.02 to 0.09.  On Lifetime, DEVIOUS MAIDS shed 0.03 to 0.46, and the just-renewed UNREAL was also down 0.03 to 0.32.  SWAMP PEOPLE (History) fell 0.08 to 0.40, and THE WOODSMEN slipped 0.03 to 0.27.  MAKING OF THE MOB (AMC) was 0.02 lighter at 0.23.  BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK (POP), airing on a night without a network telecast, was down sharply from Sunday to 0.03/67K.
