NETWORK UPDATE: The CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL gained 0.1 in final numbers. The ARROW rerun on CW lost 0.1.
TUESDAY CABLE: THE DEADLIEST CATCH (Discovery) was cable-watchers’ choice last night at a steady 0.99. PRETTY LITTLE LIARS (ABCFamily) took a big 0.2 leap up from last week to 0.95, followed by a steady 0.46 for CHASING LIFE (not, as I erroneously wrote yesterday, the summer finale, which is next week). Elsewhere on the teen front, FINDING CARTER (MTV) was up a bit to 0.47. (In teen girls, those shows were at 2.84/1.58/2.54.) In older-skewing shows, TNT’s RIZZOLI & ISLES and PERCEPTION were close to last week at 0.92/0.52. At USA, the pair of ROYAL PAINS and COVERT AFFAIRS were both slightly up at 0.58/0.34, as was FX’s TYRANT at 0.50. On History, both episodes of COUNTING CARS were very steady at 0.71/0.69. On Comedy Central, DRUNK HISTORY held even at 0.55, but NATHAN FOR YOU (coming off its Starbucks episode) fell more than a tenth to 0.35.
Country music did some damage to America’s Got Talent.
NBC: Facing unusual competition from ABC, AMERICA’S GOT TALENT dropped 0.4 from last week to 2.0, tying its low. The night started with FOOD FIGHTERS, down 0.1 to 1.3.
ABC: CMA MUSIC FESTIVAL: COUNTRY’S NIGHT TO ROCK was at 1.8, which was down 0.2 from last year’s special but far better than the 1.1s that the network’s regular Tuesday summer liue-up has been doing.
CBS: Reruns, led by NCIS at 1.0.
FOX: Reruns, headed by FAMILY GUY at 0.7.
CW: Reruns at 0.2.
The networks air their regular summer Wednesday schedules tonight.
