UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Wednesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 11.22.2017

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  THE WALL and the SNL clip show gained 0.1 in final numbers, while the EMPIRE rerun lost the same.  In addition, note that most of the night’s shows, including THE WALL SURVIVOR, SEAL TEAM and CRIMINAL MINDS, despite being regular original episodes, are being designated as “specials” so keep their ratings out of season averages.
