UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Sunday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 9.11.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjusted to 8.4 in final numbers, still the biggest game in town but down quite a bit from 2015’s 10.1 (Giants vs. Dallas) premiere.  In addition, the AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS rerun gained 0.1, but 60 MINUTES and the 9PM hour of BRAINDEAD lost the same.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Some of the shows that fell with last week’s Labor Day Weekend airings bounced back this week.  That was the case for AMC’s FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, up 0.25 to 1.49 (after last week’s 0.35 drop), with TALKING DEAD down 0.03 to 0.42 and GEEKING OUT down 0.01 to 0.10.  On TNT, THE LAST SHIP ticked down to 0.47.  FX’s THE STRAIN was up 0.05 to 0.47.  On Adult Swim, BRAD NEELY’S HARG NALLIN returned at 0.44.

E!’s ROB & CHYNA premiered strongly at 1.08, and WAGS jumped 0.19 with the bigger lead-in to 0.49.  VH1’s BASKETBALL WIVES returned from a week off at 0.71.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY was also back at 0.57.  On Food Network, GREAT FOOD TRUCK RACE gained 0.05 to 0.43, GUY’S GROCERY GAMES was up 0.02 to 0.37, and COOKS VS CONS held at 0.31.  TLC’s 90 DAY FIANCE was at 0.39.  A&E’s ESCAPING POLYGAMY ticked up to 0.31.  Bravo’s MANZOD WITH CHILDREN arrived at 0.31.
