The CW said farewell to Legends of Tomorrow for the season. Though its lead-in, Stargirl, was down, Legends held steady at 0.2 for its finale. It goes from 67% retention to 100% retention in one week, showing just how precious those tenths are for the CW.
Unlike all other networks, NBC experienced declines across the board. America's Got Talent, on its way to becoming the #1 show of the summer, took a two-tenth hit last night, down to 1.3 after the 1.5 premiere last week. World of Dance was down a notch to 0.9 at 10, a bit more impressive considering it was a rounded 1.0 last week. It's a rounded 0.9 this week, so it could be a candidate for a downward adjustment.
ABC had a special night, with an old police brutality-centered Blackish repeat airing at 8 in response to George Floyd's murder. It drew a 0.6, higher than repeats of The Conners last week and in-line with Blackish's season average for original episodes. Another Blackish at 8:30 drew a lower 0.5. An ABC News special related to the recent protests, "America In Pain", drew a 0.6 at 9. At 10, The Genetic Detective was steady from last week despite a far stronger lead-in.
Fox had Ramsay repeats at 0.6 and 0.5, well ahead of last week's repeats.
CBS had repeats of their midseason Tuesday lineup at 0.6/0.5/0.4. The first two shows were up from last week while FBI: Most Wanted was down.
Preemptions may cause downward adjustments in the finals.
Finals Update: World of Dance (-0.1), both repeats of Blackish (-0.1 each) and the repeat of FBI (-0.1) adjusted down.
