SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 100 Tuesday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 4.28.2015

 

In addition to our detailed demographic chart for the top 40 cable originals, check out our new expanded searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.

NETWORK UPDATE:  THE VOICE, CHICAGO FIRE, AGENTS OF SHIELD, NCIS, and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS  all grew by 0.1 in final numbers, but ONE BIG HAPPY shrank by the same amount. 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  TNT’s NBA PLAYOFFS games ruled the night, with 1.92 for the Clippers/Spurs duel, and 1.41 for the early game.  Not sure what happened on last night’s 19 KIDS AND COUNTING (TLC), but whatever it was, it propelled the show up by 0.36 to 1.17, with lead-out 7 LITTLE JOHNSTONS up 0.14 to 0.53 and lead-in RECOUNT up 0.11 to 0.41.  Presumably because of Baltimore coverage, CNN unusually found itself in the night’s Top 10 with 2 installments of CNN TONIGHT at 0.77/0.59.  On Comedy Central, TOSH.0 lost a tenth to 0.64, and INSIDE AMY SCHUMER dropped 0.13 to 0.46.  DANCE MOMS (Lifetime) fell 0.09 to 0.57.  OWN’s IF LOVING YOU IS WRONG lost 0.12 to 0.57.  REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NY (Bravo) was down 0.07 to 0.53, and NEWLYWEDS was at 0.14.  MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT (A&E) edged down by 0.02 to 0.47.  YOUR FAMILY OR MINE (TBS) was also down by 0.02, to 0.45.  MTV’s FINDING CARTER lost 0.06 to 0.37 (and in the F12-34 demo, down by 0.08 to 0.93).  YOUNGER continued to run on both Nick At Nite and TV Land:  on NAN, it was down 0.02 to 0.20, while on TVL it gained 0.02 to 0.16.
