SHOWBUZZDAILY’s Top 25 Sunday Cable Originals (& Network Update): 11.30.2014

 

NETWORK UPDATE:  SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL adjusted up to 7.4 in final numbers–which still wasn’t enough to make it the top show of the night.  In addition, AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS, ONCE UPON A TIME and RESURRECTION (but not REVENGE) each grew by 0.1.

Ratings in key demos for the Top 25 original cable telecasts (plus a few other lower-rated but noteworthy programs):

THE WALKING DEAD’s midseason finale was the highest-rated show of the week on cable or network with a mammoth 7.58 rating, up 0.61 from last week, and TALKING DEAD followed at 3.33 (up a huge 1.27), although COMIC BOOK MEN fell 0.08 to 0.45.  Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA followed at 1.34, down 0.11 from last week.  BET had a big night, with the SOUL TRAIN AWARDS at 1.29, a POST-SHOW at 0.90, a RED CARPET PRE-SHOW at 0.50, and NELLYVILLE at 0.69.  KOURNTEY & KHLOE (E!) was up 0.25 to 1.04, with lead-out HOUSE OF DVF at 0.38.  On Adult Swim, SQUIDBILLIES was up 0.06 to 0.57.  Showtime took the holiday weekend off, but on HBO, THE NEWSROOM gained 0.03 to 0.54, THE COMEBACK increased by 0.02 to 0.11, and GETTING ON was steady at 0.10.  (HBO just announced the renewal of DOLLY & EM for 2015, so its appetite for low-rated prestige half-hours is far from exhausted.)
