NETWORK FINALS:  The ABC portion of MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjusted up to 2.0.  In addition, FILTHY RICH and the reruns of THE NEIGHBORHOOD and YOUNG SHELDON gained 0.1 in final numbers.  Some additional detail on the premieres:  LA’S FINEST was consistent throughout its hour, except for an odd 8:30-8:45PM dip, which kept it from hitting 0.6 in finals; FILTHY RICH barely rounded up to 0.5, with quarter-hours of 0.45-0.48; and MANHUNT: DEADLY GAMES almost sagged to 0.2, saved by 0.29 in its first quarter-hour that was likely due to its LOVE ISLAND lead-in.
