UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 1.28.2020

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  THIS IS US gained 0.1 in final numbers, and the series finale of ARROW lost the same.

 

 

 

 

Broadcast Official Nationals Program Ratings Chart  

 

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS: Note that because the pilot for TBS’s MIRACLE WORKERS aired as a “sneak peek” after the SAG AWARDS, Nielsen reported its official series premiere as a rerun, so it’s not on the chart below.  However, it started strong (particularly considering its previous exposure) at 0.36/1.1M.

History’s CURSE OF OAK ISLAND slipped 0.02 to 0.66 but still easily led Tuesday cable, with PROJECT BLUE BOOK down 0.07 to 0.20.  TNT’s NBA game was at 0.50.  Bravo’s VANDERPUMP RULES rose 0.08 to 0.47.  Fox News’s TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT won another impeachment trial night at 0.43/0.71/4.4M, with MSNBC’s RACHEL MADDOW SHOW at 0.23/0.38/2.8M, and CNN’s CUOMO PRIME TIME at 0.18/0.27/1.2M.  On Discovery, MOONSHINERS jumped 0.13 to 0.37, and GUARDIANS OF THE GLADE was up 0.05 to 0.23.  OWN’s THE HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS climbed 0.05 to 0.32.  On TLC, MY BIG FAT FABULOUS LIFE gained 0.03 to 0.25, and I AM JAZZ returned at 0.21.  Food Network’s CHOPPED was at 0.25/0.22, compared to last week’s 0.19.  On A&E, THE FIRST 48 dipped 0.03 to 0.25.  On MTV, SIESTA KEY was steady at 0.24, TEEN MOM ticked up to 0.20, and RIDICULOUSNESS was up 0.03 to 0.12.  USA’s reboot of THE BIGGEST LOSER premiered at 0.24.  On ID, BODY CAM lost 0.03 to 0.22, and MURDER COMES HOME was at 0.19.  Paramount’s INK MASTER rose 0.06 to 0.20.  VH1’s WILD N OUT was at 0.16/0.15 compared to last week’s 0.17/0.15.  Pop’s SCHITT’S CREEK was steady at 0.12.
