UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 10.18.2016

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  Final numbers were a mixed bag for ABC, as AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE gained 0.1, but both REAL O’NEALS and AGENTS OF SHIELD dropped the same, putting the latter at 0.7, which is the same level where the shows in that slot the past few seasons were getting canceled.  On NBC, THE VOICE gained 0.1 and CHICAGO FIRE lost 0.1.  Note that NO TOMORROW held its 0.3 from this morning, which at least kept it slightly above last week’s final rating.
