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.
