NETWORK UPDATE: As expected, TAXI BROOKLYN dipped from the morning’s numbers by 0.1. Still, no loss from its series premiere last week is a fairly positive result. SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE gained 0.1, so it ended up holding even with last week. The MODERN FAMILY rerun lost 0.1
WEDNESDAY CABLE: With no World Cup matches on Wednesday, the cable board went to its old reliables. DUCK DYNASTY (A&E) took the lead, and actually grew by 0.1 to 1.3, slightly reversing its recent downward trajectory. Its lead-out BIG SMO, however, dropped 0.1 to 0.6. CATFISH (MTV) held at 0.9, and an UNTOLD STORIES post-show was at 0.7. DUAL SURVIVAL (Discovery) fell a steep 0.3 to 0.4. YOUNG AND HUNGRY (ABCFamily) fell to 0.34, and MYSTERY GIRLS to an ugly 0.2. (In Women 18-34, the 2 shows were at 0.73/0.38, and in teen girls they were at 0.86/0.26.) WILFRED (FX) found loyalty from its tiny group of fans, as it was dead-even with last week at 0.11.
Even Big Brother is weakening as the network summer continues.
CBS: BIG BROTHER slumped by 0.5 to 1.8 last night compared to last week’s season premiere, but was still the highest-rated show of the evening. (Last season fell similarly in Week 2.) The UNDER THE DOME rerun that followed mustered 0.6, slightly behind the CSI rerun at 10PM.
NBC: TAXI BROOKLYN is currently up 0.1 from last week to 1.1, as is the AMERICA’S GOT TALENT rerun that preceded it (at 1.4)–but Taxi started at 10:01PM, so its number may be shaky.
ABC: MOTIVE fell by 0.2 to 0.6, behind all of the night’s reruns (which were topped by MODERN FAMILY at 1.0).
FOX: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE slipped 0.1 to 1.3.
CW: Reruns at 0.2/0.2.
NBC dumps 4 half-hours of UNDATEABLE on its schedule tonight (1 rerun, 3 fresh episodes) to end its season in a hurry. FOX and ABC air all-new line-ups, and CBS has BIG BROTHER.
