Check out our searchable table for the top 100 cable originals at the bottom of the post.

CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  ESPN’s NBA PLAYOFFS game topped Saturday cable, but its 0.92 rating was significantly lower than the games have been earning during the week.  HBO, as usual, reports its boxing ratings in segments, ranging from 0.63 to 0.40.  Adult Swim’s late-night block continues to be strong, with KILL LA KILL down 0.02 to 0.47, SWORD ART ONLINE up 0.03 to 0.45, INUYASHA down 0.03 to 0.36, and DRAGON BALL (not on the chart, since it’s technically not an original, although it’s being shown for the first time in its current form) down 0.02 to 0.57.  LOG CABIN LIVING (HGTV) was down to 0.32/0.27 from 0.38/0.31.  OUTLANDER (Starz) gained 0.05 to 0.30.  PIONEER WOMAN (Food) was up 0.04 to 0.29.  On BBCAmerica, ORPHAN BLACK lost 0.03 to 0.16.  Lifetime’s movie STOCKHOLM PA (also technically not an original, although it never had a theatrical run) was at 0.34.
