CABLE ORIGINALS:  There weren’t a lot of originals on the Friday of Labor Day weekend.  Fox Sports 1 and ESPN both had COLLEGE FOOTBALL games in the Top 5, 0.49 for Kansas St vs. Stanford and 0.39 for Colorado State vs. Colorado respectively.  On Lifetime, THE RAP GAME gained 0.02 to 0.45, and BRING IT was down 0.03 to 0.44.  History’s ANCIENT ALIENS rose 0.02 to 0.32.  Discovery’s BERING SEA GOLD was up 0.04 to 0.30, and BLUE COLLAR BACKERS dropped a tick to 0.15.  The season finale of Syfy’s KILLJOYS lost 0.02 to 0.18, and DARK MATTER fell 0.08 to 0.14. On We, MILLION DOLLAR MATCHMAKER ticked up to 0.16.  OWN’s LOVE THY NEIGHBOR dropped 0.02 to 0.14.  Perhaps because competition was so weak, Freeform’s CHEER SQUAD had its version of a good night at 0.14, up 0.06 from last Friday’s edition.
