ABC: On a night of across-the-board repeats, ABC was the only network to top a 1.0 rating, with 20/20 (1.4) and PRIMETIME (1.2). SHARK TANK did around a 1.0.
CBS: UNDERCOVER BOSS, CSI NY and BLUE BLOODS were all around 0.8-1.0.
NBC: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE and GRIMM were only around 0.5-0.6, but DATELINE perked up with around 1.0.
FOX: KITCHEN NIGHTMARES was around 0.9.
CW: NIKITA and SUPERNATURAL, with 0.3 and 0.4, weren’t all that much lower than first-run episodes usually score.
There’s an unusually large amount of first-run programming on tonight. ABC airs Game 7 of the Boston/Philly NBA PLAYOFFS, FOX has regional MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL, CBS burns off some HOW TO BE A GENTLEMANs, and NBC has not one but two burn-off hours of THE FIRM. On Sunday, HBO and AMC air new episodes of their signature shows, but network TV is all repeats except for NASCAR on FOX.
