UPDATED: SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 150 Wednesday Cable Originals & Network Finals: 8.9.2017

 

 

 

 

NETWORK FINALS:  As we noted last week, NFL exhibition season means plentiful local preemptions and thus adjustments.  The chief victim on Wednesday was ABC, which saw its STORY OF DIANA fall 0.3 to 0.7 in final numbers.  In addition, the sitcom reruns aired earlier that night were respectively down 0.2 (THE GOLDBERGS) and 0.3 (SPEECHLESS).  Elsewhere, almost everything was down 0.1: BIG BROTHER and SALVATION on CBS, AMERICA’S GOT TALENT and both episodes of THE CARMICHAEL SHOW on NBC, and the SUPERNATURAL rerun on CW.
