FINALS UPDATE: Supernatural (R)
(0.2) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- Numbers and analysis coming shortly. ABC rounded out its summer Thursday lineup with its Battle of the Network Stars revival at 9/8c, surrounded by week two of Boy Band and The Gong Show. And CBS launched season three of drama Zoo following the second night of Big Brother.
FINALS UPDATE: American Housewife (R)
(0.6) adjusted up.
WHAT MATTERS:- CBS summer institution Big Brother (1.7) was back with another dominant two-hour premiere, down by two tenths (AKA slightly up in Plus) from last year's 1.9 opener.
- MasterChef (1.0) was the best of the competition, and the only original that managed to break even with last week while going head to head with BB. But its lead-out The F Word (0.6) continued to deteriorate. And NBC's Little Big Shots: Forever Young (0.9) and The Carmichael Show (0.7) were also down a tenth.
- At 10/9c, episode two of a brief Wednesday run for To Tell the Truth (0.6) was even with last week.
Here's a look from several angles at how the big five networks fared in 2016-17.
FINALS UPDATE: America's Got Talent (2.5) adjusted up while
World of Dance (1.8) adjusted down.
WHAT MATTERS:- Usual Tuesday leader America's Got Talent (2.2/2.7) had a little more competition than normal as The Bachelorette (1.3/1.2) rounded out a double-episode week. But it was still not much of a contest, as the struggling Bachelorette didn't really ding AGT and went a bit lower than its own usual ratings.
- The 10/9c hour was even more of a blowout, as Talent lead-out World of Dance (1.9) went up against the final two episodes of Downward Dog (0.5/0.4) on ABC.
- The other three networks had just one original combined, as the CW quietly finished up another season of iZombie (0.3) at 9/8c.
These numbers are current through Monday, June 26.
WHAT MATTERS:
- AMC paired its sophomore drama Preacher (0.58) with Fear the Walking Dead (0.96) for a one-time preview on Sunday, then moved the show to its regular Monday timeslot with a 0.43. That 0.43 is barely half of where Preacher started its "regular" run a year ago, but still managed to match the low point from season one. That number was actually achieved early last season, before it grew to 0.5 and eventually a bunch of 0.6's late last season.
