NBC does the other networks a favor.
NBC: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT didn’t air last night in favor of a FEAR FACTOR special, which shot a hole in the network’s ratings for the night. Fear only managed a 1.3, and that pulled AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR down to 1.4, off half a ratings point from its last airing. A GRIMM rerun was a 0.6 non-factor at 10PM.
FOX: HELL’S KITCHEN and MASTERCHEF were happy to take the nightly win for FOX, with matching 2.4s.
ABC: THE BACHELORETTE was the night’s highest-rated show at 2.5, but THE GLASS HOUSE pulverized the night for ABC by scoring only 1.1.
CBS: Reruns were in the 1.1-1.3 range.
CW: Reruns at 0.2 for the night.
Tonight CBS is the only network without original programming (oh, OK, I guess CW is a network too). FOX carries the BASEBALL ALL-STAR GAME, NBC has 2 hours of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT followed by LOVE IN THE WILD, and ABC introduces TRUST US WITH YOUR LIFE and NY MED after WIPEOUT. On cable, USA boosts its already-impressive number of original summer hours with the returns of COVERT AFFAIRS and WHITE COLLAR.
