WHAT MATTERS:
- NBC had to air an America's Got Talent repeat (1.9) on 6/24 so they could throw the original at the Rising Star premiere. The Tuesday original return on 7/1 (2.6) was even with the previous Tuesday original two weeks ago. The Night Shift (1.2) dipped by a tenth after the still strong Got Talent repeat on 6/24, which was apparently enough of a hold to score it a renewal. It then bounced back by two tenths on 7/1 (1.4).
- A couple more 0.2's were enough to get the CW's Famous in 12 the axe. Arrow repeats fill in next week.
- On cable, FX's Tyrant (0.61/0.53) had a soft start, going about 25% behind the already modest Fargo debut from a couple months ago. Even with a reasonable 13% drop in week two, it remained well behind the Fargo pace. And it's been even worse than usual in the early summer for USA's Covert Affairs (0.41/0.34), which opened at 34% behind the previous summer premiere and shed another 17% of that audience in week two. (That put it 59% behind week two of last summer!)
Famous in 12
Tuesdays, 8/7c, CW
WHAT MATTERS:
- NBC's Tuesday lineup had a great hold in week two, with America's Got Talent (2.9) and The Night Shift (1.5) each shedding just a tenth.
- The Celebrity Wife Swap (1.5) finale had an odd jump, going well above any number from this season (or the summer 2013 run). These last couple weeks may have gotten it yet another season. And things got even more anemic on Fox as Riot (0.4) plunged to I Wanna Marry Harry levels.
- And the CW debuted its latest unscripted bomb Famous in 12 (0.2). It may play out the string to reduce repeats, but it did no better than repeats of pretty much anything.
