Ratings Analysis: Week two of ABC's new Thursday lineup was mostly a success as both 'Press Your Luck' (0.43, +0.02) and 'The Fatal Flaw' (0.24, +0.01) grew from their July 7th premieres. Promising newbie 'Generation Gap' (0.41, -0.05) fell by five-hundredths and no longer grew from 'Luck' but still retained a solid 95% of its lead-in. CBS's 'Big Brother' (0.71) was up by five-hundredths from the episode that aired yesterday (0.66) for its first Thursday installment of the season. Surrounding repeats of 'Young Sheldon' (0.32), 'Ghosts' (0.30), and 'CSI: Vegas' (0.23) made little noise. NBC had reruns of the original 'Law & Order' (0.22), 'SVU' (0.28), and 'Organized Crime' (0.23). Fox had a middling encore of 'MasterChef' (0.23) and abysmal reruns of 'Welcome to Flatch' (0.15/0.12). The CW's 'Walker' repeat (0.04) dipped by a hundredth while 'The Flash' encore (0.04) rose by one.
Finals Update: 'Big Brother' (+0.1) adjusted up.
