UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Friday Cable Originals & Network Update: 1.22.2016

 

 
NOTE TO READERS:  Starting tomorrow, SHOWBUZZDAILY will be heading to the Sundance Film Festival.  That won’t affect the daily ratings charts, which will be posted as usual, but for the rest of the week, there will be little if any text, and probably few responses to comments/requests.  However:  Sundance reviews!

NETWORK UPDATE:  DATELINE and 20/20 lost 0.1 in final numbers.
