NBC wins a night it would have won even without the Olympics.
NBC: AMERICA’S GOT TALENT was the highest rated show of the night with the same 2.7 rating it had before the Olympics. A cutdown version of the STARS EARN STRIPES premiere was at 1.4 against weak competition at 10PM.
FOX: HOTEL HELL built on its premiere with 2.1, and MASTERCHEF built on that with 2.4.
ABC: 2 hours of sitcom repeats couldn’t even hit a 1.0, which at least NY MED managed to do in the night’s final hour.
CBS: A trio of reruns, all at 1.1.
CW: A new episode of THE LA COMPLEX (0.2) was beaten by a HART OF DIXIE rerun (0.3).
CW premieres the game show OH SIT! tonight, which if nothing else takes the award for worst title in recent memory. The other networks offer new episodes of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT, BIG BROTHER and SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.
