UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Tuesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 7.4.2017

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  With the exception of THE MIDDLE, all of ABC’s rerun sitcoms lost 0.1 in final numbers, as did CBS’s NCIS: NEW ORLEANS rerun, FOX’s rerun of THE MICK, and CW’s 9PM rerun of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY.  (A note on the July 4th ratings:  all the non-FOX reruns are marked with an “S” to indicate “special,” something the networks do so they can can remove these low ratings from the season averages for each show.)
