It was a rough premiere night for ABC and NBC, both of which had some disappointing (but not entirely surprising) premieres for their shows. Let's start with ABC, which has Boy Band leading off the night. It basically flopped, starting with only 0.7. It lead into The Gong Show, which hold its own in a rough situation and pulled a 0.9. It's not a particularly strong number, but it'll likely be enough to get a renewal if it can stay around that number. It's not a very promising start, which doesn't give Battle of the Network Stars much hope. Hopefully it can do well, or ABC Thursdays aren't in for a good Summer. NBC debuted Hollywood Game Night's fifth season, as well as the Night Shift's fourth. HGN actually did respectfully with a 0.8. It's not a big number, but it's not too bad either. The Wall also returned, and it didn't go too well. It went fractional in its (admittedly pretty terrible) new timeslot. Behind it, the Night Shift debuted and immediately went below any number its done before. Fox (!) actually had the best night, with Beat Shazam remaining a very solid addition to the lineup with its 1.0 and Love Connection ticking up to a 0.9 after a brief downtick to 0.8. The CW and CBS were in repeats, with The Big Bang Theory again being the standout among the group of repeats.
Finals Update: Hollywood Game Night (+0.1) and The Wall (+0.1) adjusted up. Both repeats of Supernatural (-0.1 each) and a repeat of Superior Donuts (-0.1) adjusted down.
