NETWORK UPDATE:  Both NCIS and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS gained 0.1 in final numbers for their crossover episodes.  The rest of the networks, including the NBC Dick Wolf crossover and FOX’s sitcoms, stayed as-is.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Let’s take a minute to dig into MTV’s numbers last night.  THE SHANNARA CHRONICLES had a fair start at 0.48, which was 0.02 higher than the midseason premiere of TEEN WOLF, its lead-in at 0.46 (up 0.02 from its August finale).  However, the demos are a little more ambiguous.  Apart from with 18-49s, SHANNARA beat TEEN WOLF in the 25-54 and 50+ demos, with TEEN WOLF still ahead in MTV’s core demos of 12-34 and 18-34.  (SHANNARA also skewed more male, which may or may not be a good thing.)  Advertisers don’t come to MTV for older demos, so that’s not ideal for the network.  However, if SHANNARA can keep up this level overall, no doubt MTV will have little to quibble about.  SHANNARA also ran on MTV2 (0.03/115K), TeenNick (0.02/117K), and TV Land (0.06/248K).

Elsewhere, THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS returned to OWN at 0.93, in keeping with where it had been last season (although below September’s 1.19 finale).  History’s CURSE OF OAK ISLAND lost 0.07 to 0.88, with an AFTERSHOW at 0.45.  HGTV’s FIXER UPPER was at 0.76, with lead-outs HOUSE HUNTERS at 0.50 and HOUSE HUNTERS INTL at 0.37.  Discovery’s MOONSHINERS jumped two-tenths to 0.75, with new lead-out KILLING FIELDS at 0.45.  On Bravo, REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS edged up 0.02 to 0.69, and GIRLFRIENDS GUIDE TO DIVORCE was steady at 0.26.  On TLC, THE LITTLE COUPLE was at 0.53, and KATE PLUS 8 lost 0.05 to 0.35.  DANCE MOMS returned to Lifetime at 0.51, with a lead-in special at 0.38, and new lead-out PITCH SLAPPED at 0.28.  A&E’s MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT dropped 0.05 to 0.45, and the just-renewed BORN THIS WAY fell 0.08 to 0.31.  BET aired ZOE EVER AFTER at 0.38, with lead-out REAL HUSBANDS OF HOLLYWOOD at 0.32.  Syfy’s THE EXPANSE justified its network’s confidence (and early renewal) to some extent, rising 0.05 to 0.22, its second consecutive increase.  On POP, IMPACT WRESTLING was at 0.08/255K.
