The Night Shift: While its retention from America's Got Talent hasn't been particularly impressive, it got similar ratings with other lead-ins this year. Really, it seems that what affects how well or poorly The Night Shift does is if it airs for one or two hours. When it airs for two hours, it does poorly.
Zoo: While its ratings aren't impressive, it has remained the highest rated of CBS's three summer dramas. As a result, it was no surprise to me that it was renewed, which I predicted.
Mistresses: Without The Bachelorette, the show has taken a hit, and fell to as low as 0.5 up against the Olympics.
American Gothic: The show dropped a tenth during the Olympics, and went back up without it. Still, too low to be renewed.
BrainDead: The good news is that this show remained even with its first Sunday airing during the Olympics. The bad news is that number is 0.3, which is bad even for Sundays at 10:00.
