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

NETWORK UPDATE:  ZOO and AMERICA’S GOT TALENT each gained 0.1 in final numbers.  The IZOMBIE rerun lost 0.1.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  SHARK WEEK continued to occupy most cable viewers on Tuesday, with 3 of the night’s top 4 shows:  BRIDE OF JAWS at 1.41, TIBURONES at 1.37, and SHARK AFTER DARK at 0.81.  The latter tied with OWN’s HAVES AND HAVE NOTS, which was down 0.11 from last week.  It was generally a fine evening for cable.  TNT’s RIZZOLI & ISLES rose 0.05 to 0.76, and PROOF showed a bit of life (almost after death) by gaining 0.11 to 0.36.  On Spike, INK MASTER added 0.11 to 0.67, and TATTOO NIGHTMARES was up 0.05 to 0.44.  USA’s WWE TOUGH ENOUGH started the night up 0.09 to 0.41, then the newly-renewed CHRISLEY KNOWS BEST jumped up 0.13 to 0.59, and ROYAL PAINS increased by 0.09 to 0.37.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NYC gained 0.05 to 0.59, and SECRETS & WIVES had an extra 0.07 for 0.20.  History’s COUNTING CARS was at 0.54/0.53, slightly up from last week’s 0.56/0.55, but LEEPU & PITBULL slipped 0.02 to 0.43.  E! premiered TOTAL DIVAS at 0.47.  TYRANT (FX) had a strong night, up 0.14 to 0.43.  Some networks, however, didn’t fare as well.  CLIPPED (TBS) was shortened by 0.02 to 0.41.  DANCE MOMS (Lifetime) fell 0.04 to 0.38.  On Comedy Central, INSIDE AMY SCHUMER lost a tenth to 0.37, and ANOTHER PERIOD took a heavy fall, down 0.18 to 0.21.  MTV’s SCREAM had a typical Week 2 drop in 18-49s, down 0.08 to 0.37, but its F12-34 loss was harsher, down 0.37 to 0.73.  STITCHERS (ABCFamily) aired without its usual PRETTY LITTLE LIARS lead-in, and while it was down just 0.02 to 0.30 in 18-49s, it plunged with F12-34s by 0.35 to 0.46.  Among the micro-rated, BIG BROTHER AFTER DARK (POP) was at 0.03/75K, and KNIFE FIGHT (Esq) was at 0.04/98K and 0.03/69K.
