WHAT MATTERS:- ABC had a softer first half of the night with a two-tenth drop from Celebrity Family Feud (0.7), but The $100,000 Pyramid (0.8) managed to break even and grow from CFF, while To Tell The Truth (0.7) was up a notch.
- Also on the uptick was Fox's What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage (0.3), thanks in large part to stronger repeat lead-ins from the cartoons (0.4/0.4/0.5). CBS' Big Brother (1.0) and Instinct (0.3) were even.
FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.
FINALS UPDATE: MasterChef (0.8) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- Back from a week off for the holiday, ABC Thursday saw declines from Holey Moley (0.8) and Family Food Fight (0.5), but an uptick from Reef Break (0.4) at 10/9c.
- Big Brother (1.0) moved to Thursday and matched Wednesday's rating, as did night three of Love Island (0.6). Fox was even with MasterChef (0.7) and Spin the Wheel (0.6).
- NBC had a soft return from Hollywood Game Night (0.5), kicking off its first regularly-scheduled run in two years, and the CW's summer drama The Outpost (0.1) returned for season two.
FINALS UPDATE: Big Brother (1.1) and
MasterChef (0.8) adjusted up while
Ellen's Game of Games (R)
(0.6) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- Night two of Love Island held onto the 0.6 from Tuesday's premiere, while Big Brother (1.0) was down a tick in its move to 9/8c. Fox returned to originals with a steady MasterChef (0.7) and an uptick from First Responders Live (0.5).
- ABC preempted its game show lineup in favor of the ESPY Awards (0.8/0.9/0.8), which were about in line with last year's 0.9.
FINALS UPDATE: America's Got Talent (1.5) and
MLB All-Star Game (1.9, +0.2) adjusted up while
American Housewife (R)
(0.3) and
The Goldbergs (R)
(0.3) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- Two months after the Paradise Hotel debacle on Fox, another love-themed reality series expected to chew up a lot of hours had a similarly rough start. CBS' Love Island (0.6/0.5) looks to have just barely outrated the May Paradise Hotel (0.5) premiere.
- NBC had much more promising news with its own reality premiere, Bring the Funny (1.2) at 10/9c after America's Got Talent (1.4). At least preliminarily, it actually managed to top the Songland premiere six weeks ago (1.1), even though Talent was three tenths higher on that night.
- Fox topped the night with the MLB All-Star Game (1.6/1.7/1.6), though it was down 20%ish from last year's 2.1.
FINALS UPDATE: No adjustments.
FINALS UPDATE: To Tell the Truth (0.6) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- Finally airing all originals for consecutive weeks, ABC got some game show improvement as Celebrity Family Feud (0.9) and The $100,000 Pyramid (0.8) both grew, while To Tell the Truth (0.7) was even.
- There was no change for week two of CBS' Big Brother (1.0) / Instinct (0.3) / The Good Fight (0.2), nor for the second episode of What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage (0.2) on Fox.
