Spotted Ratings, Sunday 7/24/11: Tame Same Name

WHAT MATTERS:

• The premiere of CBS' Same Name (1.5) did not do well, dropping 38% of its Big Brother (2.4) lead-in. Considering it's premiere night and it's likely to get worse, consider this a pretty bad start. I blame one of the dumber premises in recent memory.

• Despite a new show entering the mix, the second-biggest shows of Sunday remained animation encores, led by The Simpsons (1.8) and Family Guy (1.8). NBC's original The Marriage Ref (1.0) continues its march toward probable cancellation.

Above based on preliminary adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
