It was a pretty decent night for broadcast, with one new series having a solid start and a veteran show returning to save its network's Summer. CBS' Big Brother was the biggest thing in town last night, down a tenth from its premiere to a 1.6, well above anything else airing on Thursday. Things did not go so well for its lead-out, Zoo. The show was down three tenths from last year's premiere despite a much higher lead-in. This isn't promising for the show at all. ABC had a pretty high-profile debut, with Battle of the Network Stars having its series premiere (well, kinda) last night. It doubled its Boy Band lead-in, which was a low 0.5, to place at 1.0 and tie for second for the night. The Gong Show was steady in week 2. Fox's reality duo came down to Earth this week after a solid week last week, with Beat Shazam going fractional and Love Connection slipping two tenths. The results are still fine, but they're less impressive than previous outings. NBC's Hollywood Game Night and the Wall were both steady with last week's finals but up from prelims. The Night Shift ticked up to a still-low 0.7.
Finals Update: A repeat of Supernatural (-0.1) adjusted down.
