Preliminary Analysis: Prospects brightened further for the 'Tokyo Olympics' (3.7) on night 3, with the ceremony up well over a full point from Saturday's telecast (
2.5). NBC may not have been thrilled by Friday's opening but at least more people are tuning in with each subsequent broadcast. ABC seemed to feel the brunt of the 'Olympics' competition the most as 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.5) and 'The Chase' (0.3) were both down more than a tenth from last week's episodes (
0.65 &
0.45). The 10pm installment of 'To Tell the Truth' (0.3) shed a tenth, as did the 7pm 'AFV' encore (0.4). CBS was unfazed by the 'Olympics' as '60 Minutes' (0.3), 'Big Brother' (0.8), and 'Love Island' (0.3) were all on-par with their week-ago outings. Fox had poorly-rated reruns of 'Duncanville' (0.1), 'HouseBroken' (0.1), 'The Simpsons' (0.1), and 'The Great North' (0.1). 'Bob's Burgers' (0.2) and 'Family Guy' (0.3) were able to pick up the slack from there. The CW had no sign of life as 'Wellington Paranormal' (0.0) and 'Dead Pixels' (0.0) remained at a laughably-bad level. An 8pm repeat of 'Legends of Tomorrow' (0.0) didn't fare any better.
Finals Update: 2020 Tokyo Olympics (+0.4) and repeats of The Simpsons (+0.1) and The Great North (+0.1) adjusted up.
