NETWORK UPDATE: There was nothing extra for DANCING WITH THE STARS in final numbers. On NBC, while THE VOICE gained 0.1, the adjustment hit to THE NIGHT SHIFT was even worse than anticipated, down 0.2 to a weakening 1.3 (only 0.2 ahead of the rerun NCIS: LA on CBS). On CW, THE ORIGINALS lost 0.1 and JANE THE VIRGIN gained 0.1, so both shows ended up at the same 0.5. Elsewhere, MIKE & MOLLY also rose 0.1.
