Friday TV Ratings 7/29/22: Secret Celebrity Renovation Stays Low in Return, The Fatal Flaw Hits New High in New Slot, Dropping WWE SmackDown Leads


Ratings Analysis: CBS's 'Secret Celebrity Renovation' (0.25) returned five-hundredths higher than its September 2021 season finale (0.20) but could only manage to secure the third-place slot in its hour. Reruns of 'Blue Bloods' (0.16/0.20) occupied the 9-11PM stretch. Over on ABC, 'The Fatal Flaw' (0.31, +0.07) climbed to a new series high for its first episode since being shipped to Fridays. Much of that growth is likely a result of being placed in a more cushiony 8PM timeslot, as opposed to the more challenging 10PM slot it occupied on Thursday nights. Despite the passable performance, 'Flaw' was bested by the 9PM edition of '20/20' (0.33). Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.52, -0.10) dropped by a full tenth but still beat out its competitors. NBC had middling repeats of 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.22) and 'Dateline' (0.28). The CW had lifeless encores of 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us' (0.07) and 'World's Funniest Animals' (0.04/0.04).

Finals Update: 'WWE Smackdown' (+0.1), 'Secret Celebrity Renovation' (+0.1), the 9PM repeat of 'Blue Bloods' (+0.1), and 'Dateline' (+0.1) adjusted up. The two reruns of 'World's Funniest Animals' (-0.1; -0.1) adjusted down.
