NETWORK FINALS:  ABC’s (amazing) Golden State vs. Oklahoma City NBA game gained half a point in final numbers.  Somewhat less excitingly, the NCIS: NEW ORLEANS rerun on CBS rose 0.1. 

Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  HBO insists on listing its licensed theatrical movies as “originals,” which is why SAN ANDREAS sits at the top of our chart, admittedly with a very impressive 0.97.  Conversely, the actual highest rated Saturday cable (quasi) original isn’t on the chart, because Adult Swim lists DRAGON BALL Z as a rerun, but in fact it was up a tenth from last week to 0.71/1.567M.  DIMENSION W joined the late-night Adult Swim line-up at 0.59, up 0.09 from what AKAME GA KILL did in that slot last week.  PARASYTE rose a tenth to 0.53, SAMURAI CHAMPLOO was up 0.11 to 0.50/1.124M, NARUTO climbed 0.06 to 0.44/1.006M, ONE PIECE was up 0.08 to 0.41/946K, and KILL LA KILL added 0.08 to 0.37/832K.  ESPN’s COLLEGE BASKETBALL coverage was topped by its evening game at 0.53.  A Univision LIGA soccer match was at 0.39.  On HGTV, HOUSE HUNTERS RENOVATION ticked up to 0.38, and LOG CABIN LIVING dropped 0.02 to 0.31.  HBO rates its BOXING in segments, which were at 0.38/0.35/0.31/0.31/0.30.  Discovery’s MYTHBUSTERS rose 0.04 to 0.36.  A Trevor Noah STAND-UP SPECIAL on Comedy Central was at 0.30.  On Food Network, KITCHEN AT FN gained 0.07 to 0.33, PIONEER WOMAN was at 0.29, and TRISHA’S SOUTHERN KITCHEN was up 0.03 to 0.30.  TLC’s SEX SENT ME TO THE ER ticked down to 0.22.  Starz’s BLACK SAILS fell 0.04 to 0.17.
