Friday TV Ratings 8/19/22: Killer Camp Stays Low in Return, WWE SmackDown and Secret Celebrity Renovation Rise (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: The CW's 'Killer Camp' (0.04) returned a hundredth higher than the last time it aired back in October of 2021 (0.03) but was still at the same, meager level as a pair of 'World's Funniest Animals' reruns (0.03/0.04) that followed. CBS's 'Secret Celebrity Renovation' (0.24, +0.06) picked up some steam and managed to beat the repeats of 'Blue Bloods' (0.18/0.21) that it led into, something it rarely does. ABC's encores of 'Shark Tank' (0.33) and '20/20' (0.35) were well above NBC's reruns of 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.22) and 'Dateline' (0.19). Fox program 'WWE Smackdown' (0.47, +0.03) topped the evening in unsurprising fashion, rising by three-hundredths from last week in the process. 

Finals Update: 'Killer Camp' (-0.1), 'Secret Celebrity Renovation' (-0.1), and repeats of 'Shark Tank' (-0.1), 'American Ninja Warrior' (-0.1), and 'Dateline NBC' (-0.1) adjusted down.

Thursday TV Ratings 8/18/22: Big Brother Drops for Two-Hour Episode, Press Your Luck Rises (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: CBS juggernaut 'Big Brother' (0.71, -0.05) dropped by five-hundredths when compared to last Thursday (0.76) for a special two-hour installment. The reality series led out of reruns of 'Young Sheldon' (0.31) and 'Ghosts' (0.28) that were close to last week's encores. ABC's 'Press Your Luck' (0.51, +0.07) climbed to its second-highest rating of the season, but 'Generation Gap' (0.38, -0.03) widened the gap between itself and 'Luck' by shedding three-hundredths. In the 10PM hour, 'The Con' (0.25, -0.02) also lost a bit of ground. NBC's repeats of 'Law & Order' (0.18) and 'Law & Order: Organized Crime' (0.21) were steady with last week while 'Law & Order: SVU' (0.26) grew by four-hundredths. Fox's encores of 'MasterChef' (0.22) and 'Welcome to Flatch' (0.16/0.14) left much to be desired in the Nielsen department. The CW's dramedy 'Bump' (0.03) dipped from last week's launch (0.06/0.04) and led into a rerun of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' (0.03). 'Great Chocolate Showdown' (0.04) was a hundredth shy of its week-ago return (0.05) at 9.

Finals Update: The repeat of 'Ghosts' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Ratings Analysis: Gordon Ramsay-hosted 'MasterChef' (0.36, +0.01) picked up a hundredth on Fox for a special two-hour installment but could not hold a candle to some of the offerings on CBS or NBC. CBS's 'Big Brother' (0.85, +0.06) climbed to a new season high in the 8PM hour and led into a stable edition of 'The Challenge: USA' (0.42, 0.00). The 10PM rerun of 'SWAT' (0.20) once again placed last in its timeslot. On NBC, 'America's Got Talent' (0.61, +0.07) grew significantly on a week-to-week basis while 'Password' (0.41, -0.02) declined by two-hundredths from Tuesday night's episode (0.43). The peacock network capped off the evening with another encore of 'Chicago PD' (0.23). ABC went with an 'Abbott Elementary' repeat marathon (0.36/0.29/0.29/0.30) that performed noticeably better than last week's mismatch of sitcom encores (0.29/0.18/0.18/0.16). At 10, the rerun of 'Press Your Luck' (0.30) topped its respective hour. 'Mysteries Decoded' (0.06, +0.03) grew by three-hundredths on the CW and was followed by encores of 'Wellington Paranormal' (0.04/0.03).

Finals Update: The 8 PM repeat of 'Abbott Elementary' (+0.1) adjusted up. 'Password' (-0.1) adjusted down.

At 9, 'Devils' (0.03) had no life left in it for its season premiere, going well below the 0.1s it would post in late 2020. Over on NBC, 'America's Got Talent' (0.73, -0.01) was a hundredth shy of its week-ago episode. Game show reboot 'Password' (0.43, -0.03) shed three-hundredths from Wednesday's installment and came in five-hundredths lower than last week's series debut. ABC had a shockingly strong rerun of 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' (0.52) that led into encores of 'Generation Gap' (0.37) and 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.34). CBS's reruns of 'FBI' (0.28), 'FBI: International' (0.26), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.24) trumped Fox's encores of 'So You Think You Can Dance' (0.13) and 'Fantasy Island' (0.12).

Ratings Analysis: Leading out of a strong 'AFV' rerun (0.44), ABC game show 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.57, +0.03) picked up three-hundredths and rose to its strongest rating since the season premiere. 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.44, -0.02) lost two-hundredths despite the 'Feud' uptick, but 'The Final Straw' (0.29, 0.00) held flat at last week's rating. CBS's 'Big Brother' (0.81, 0.00) also matched the rating it posted last Sunday. Surrounding repeats of '60 Minutes' (0.42), 'The Equalizer' (0.22), and 'NCIS: LA' (0.23) all gained a few ticks. On NBC, 'Who Do You Think You Are?' (0.19, +0.08) grew quite a bit on finale night but still lost to reruns of 'Password' (0.21) and 'America's Got Talent' (0.20).

NBC went with middling encores of 'Law & Order' (0.18), 'SVU' (0.22), and 'Organized Crime' (0.21).

Wednesday TV Ratings 8/10/22: Americas Got Talent Sinks in First Results Show, So You Think You Can Dance Rises for Finale, Big Brother Leads (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: NBC mainstay 'America's Got Talent' (0.54) crumbled for its first results show and went a full two-tenths below Tuesday night's performance (0.74). Despite the trouble in 'AGT' land, 'Password' (0.46, -0.02) shed just two-hundredths from Tuesday's premiere and retained a stellar 85% of its lead-in the 18-49 demographic. After this data point, it seems like 'Password' may be a much stronger show than it appeared to be on day one. The 'Chicago PD' rerun (0.25) that followed topped the 10PM hour. On CBS, 'Big Brother' (0.79, 0.00) tied last Wednesday's rating as 'The Challenge: USA' (0.42, +0.04) picked up a few ticks. The 10PM encore of 'SWAT' (0.20) was also a bit higher than usual. Fox's 'MasterChef' (0.35, -0.01) shaved off a hundredth at 8 and placed third in its timeslot. In the 9PM hour, struggling 'So You Think You Can Dance' (0.26, +0.03) grew by three-hundredths for its season finale. The CW's 'Mysteries Decoded' (0.03, 0.00) held even but 'Wellington Paranormal' (0.01, -0.01) lost a precious hundredth. The 'Wellington' original was bested by a repeat of itself (0.02) that aired directly after it. ABC had reruns of 'The Conners' (0.29), 'The Goldbergs' (0.18), 'Abbott Elementary' (0.18), 'Home Economics' (0.16), and 'Press Your Luck' (0.22).

Finals Update: 'Big Brother' (+0.1), 'Password' (+0.1), 'So You Think You Can Dance' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'Home Economics' (+0.1) adjusted up.
