Another summer Wednesday, another night for Big Brother and America’s Got Talent.

Daily Comp 3way 2014 WED Aug 27

CBS:  BIG BROTHER remained at last week’s 2.3.  The two-hour helping of EXTANT was slightly up from last week with 1.1 in its first hour and then 1.0 in the 2d.

NBC:  AMERICA’S GOT TALENT slipped 0.1 to 1.8 (although it could regain that in final numbers this afternoon), and TAXI BROOKLYN was steady at 0.8.

FOX:  SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE grew by 0.2 to 1.1.

ABC:  MOTIVE rose 0.1 to 0.9, but was still nowhere near the 1.4/1.5 MODERN FAMILY reruns that preceded it.

CW:  PENN & TELLER: FOOL US stayed at 0.5.

ABC’s flop THE QUEST expands to 2 hours tonight, and is followed by a WORLD’S WILDEST COMMERCIALS special.  On cable, Syfy has the two-hour season finale of DEFIANCE.
