At 10, a rerun of 'Shark Tank' (0.19) topped its hour.

Ratings Analysis: The 'Big Brother: 25th Anniversary Celebration' special (0.17) was completely rejected by CBS viewers and dropped significantly from the rerun of '60 Minutes' (0.24) that led into it. In the 10 p.m. hour, the 'CSI Vegas' encore (0.10) was over a full tenth lower than last week. On Fox, the USA v. Netherlands match-up propelled the 'FIFA Women's World Cup' (1.95) to new heights. This number was almost four-tenths higher than Friday's 'USA v. Vietnam' game (1.56). ABC's 'The Wonder Years' (0.17, -0.06) slipped to a new low after taking two weeks off. 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.25, -0.02) also lost some ground. Reruns of 'Abbott Elementary' (0.15) and 'America's Funniest Home Videos' (0.11) followed the originals.

Tuesday TV Ratings 7/25/23: Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge Steady Despite Weaker America’s Got Talent Clip Show Lead-In, Down to Earth and Fantastic Friends Tick Up (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: NBC's 'Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge' (0.21, 0.00) managed to stop the bleeding for a week and held even at its series low. However, this rating looks a little better than last week's since it aired after an 'America's Got Talent' clip show (0.42) instead of a new 'AGT'. On the CW, 'Down to Earth with Zac Efron' (0.05, +0.02) and 'Fantastic Friends' (0.04, +0.02) picked up two-hundredths apiece.

Monday TV Ratings 7/24/23: Children Ruin Everything and Son of a Critch Off to Decent Starts, The Bachelorette Hits Season High as Claim to Fame Crumbles in Time Slot Shifts (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: The CW got into the sitcom game for the first time in a while with the debuts of Canadian imports 'Son of a Critch' (0.04/0.04) and 'Children Ruin Everything' (0.04/0.04). Neither program did remarkably well, but these numbers are passable enough by CW standards. Over on ABC, 'The Bachelorette' (0.46, +0.08) surged to a new season high in its return to the 8 p.m. time slot. But, the swap completely destroyed any momentum that 'Claim to Fame' (0.24, -0.17) had built up this summer. 'Fame' crashed to a new series low in its move back to the 10 p.m. hour, just one week after posting a new series high at 8 o'clock. Fox's 'Stars on Mars' (0.16, -0.02) also slipped to a new low, but 'Crime Scene Kitchen' (0.20, +0.01) gained a hundredth in the 9 p.m. slot. On NBC, 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.33, -0.06) dropped some but avoided falling to a new low. An original episode of 'The Wall' (0.29) and a 'Weakest Link' (0.21) rerun aired at 9 and 10 p.m. respectively. Repeats of 'The Neighborhood' (0.28), 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.20), 'NCIS' (0.18), and 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.18) aired on CBS.
Finals Update: 'The Bachelorette' (+0.1), 'Stars on Mars' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'The Neighborhood' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Celebrity Family Feud' (0.34, +0.01) grew by a hundredth, while 'The $100,000 Pyramid' posted its third-straight 0.29 rating. Despite the gains at 8 and 9 p.m., the 7 o'clock rerun of 'America's Funniest Home Videos' (0.36) bested all three originals. NBC aired repeats of 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.20) and 'America's Got Talent' (0.24). Fox's 'HouseBroken' (0.07, -0.04; 0.06, -0.03) somehow crashed to even lower levels after taking last week off.

Peacock series 'Baking It' (0.12, -0.01) dipped by a hundredth on NBC and was once more beaten by the 9 p.m. rerun of 'America's Got Talent' (0.17). ABC had a repeat marathon of 'Shark Tank' (0.14/0.16/0.20) that grew in size as the evening progressed. CBS tried their luck with encores of 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.11/0.12) and '48 Hours' (0.14).

NBC aired repeats of 'Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge' (0.16) and 'Dateline' (0.21). ABC was a step above in both time slots with encores of 'Will Trent' (0.18) and '20/20' (0.22).

Fox's broadcast of the 'FIFA Women's World Cup' (0.35) performed quite well in the 10:30 p.m. time slot.

Ratings Analysis: 'The Prank Panel' (0.29, -0.02) and 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.33, -0.05) both slipped to new lows on ABC, despite already having soft starts last week. In the 10 p.m. time slot, 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.29, 0.00) held flat but still fell short of the 7 o'clock rerun of 'America's Funniest Home Videos' (0.33).

Saturday TV Ratings 7/15/23: Baking It Weak in NBC Debut, MLB Leads, WNBA All-Star Game Struggles (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: Though the trend of bringing streaming offerings onto prime-time television is going to become increasingly common during the strike, it is unlikely to pay off in terms of Nielsens. NBC tried to transition Peacock series 'Baking It' (0.13) from streaming to broadcast, but the program ultimately debuted in meager fashion. This was made evident an hour later when the 9 p.m. 'America's Got Talent' encore (0.18) bested 'Baking' by a noticeable amount. Fox's 'MLB: Regional Coverage' (0.39, -0.05) dropped by five-hundredths but easily topped all competing programs. On ABC, the 2023 'WNBA All-Star Game' (0.16) posted a lackluster rating, as did the 8 p.m. 'WBNA Countdown' (0.13). The 10 p.m. 'Post-Game' (0.17) improved slightly, but it was not enough to make a difference. On the CW, 'Greatest Geek Year Ever: 1982' (0.03, -0.01) dipped by a hundredth and led into reruns of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' (0.05/0.06). CBS aired repeats of 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.10) and '48 Hours' (0.12/0.15).
Finals Update: 'MLB: Regional Coverage' (+0.1) and the 2023 'WNBA All-Star Game' (+0.1) adjusted up. 'Baking It' (-0.1) adjusted down.

Ratings Analysis: Fox staple 'WWE Smackdown' (0.62, -0.14) came back down to earth after last week's surge but was still the highest-rated program of the evening by far. On the CW, 'Family Law' (0.03, -0.04) and 'Moonshine' (0.02, -0.02) completely fell off a cliff after debuting with some semi-decent numbers on premiere night.

Though the long-running drama did jump to a new season high at 8, it dropped by four-hundredths for the 9 p.m. episode. Considering this is a show that aired for nearly a decade, it clearly went out with a whimper. The peacock network aired a 'Magnum PI' rerun (0.14) in the 10 p.m. time slot. Over on ABC, game shows 'Generation Gap' (0.37, -0.07) and 'The Chase' (0.33, -0.04) dealt with sizable blows. Despite the declines, the 10 p.m. encore of 'Press Your Luck' (0.30) was even with its week-ago showing. Reruns of 'Young Sheldon' (0.28), 'Ghosts' (0.24), 'So Help Me Todd' (0.19), and 'CSI: Vegas' (0.14) were mostly up on CBS. Repeats of 'Alert: Missing Persons Unit' (0.11) and 'Stars on Mars' (0.09) completely underwhelmed on Fox. The CW had repeat showings of 'Walker' (0.03) and 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us' (0.05).
Finals Update: 'The Blacklist' at 8 PM (+0.1) adjusted up.

Monday TV Ratings 7/10/23: The Bachelorette and Claim to Fame Rebound, The Price Is Right Encore Leads, The Wall and American Ninja Warrior Drop (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: 'Claim to Fame' (0.34, +0.05) and 'The Bachelorette' (0.36, +0.09) both bounced back on ABC, with the latter reaching a new season high. This marks the first time this season that 'Bachelorette' has outrated 'Fame'. Despite those gains, CBS's repeat of 'The Price Is Right' (0.37) beat the alphabet network's offerings and was the top broadcast of the night. Encores of 'The Neighborhood' (0.23), 'Bob Hearts Abishola' (0.16), and 'NCIS' (0.16) filled out the remainder of their evening. NBC was in complete freefall mode as 'American Ninja Warrior' (0.29, -0.06), 'The Wall' (0.26, -0.06), and 'Weakest Link' (0.24, -0.08) all plummeted. Fox's 'Stars on Mars' (0.21, +0.03) rebounded, but 'Crime Scene Kitchen' (0.20, -0.01) inched down. Repeats of 'The Rising' (0.02) and 'Nancy Drew' (0.02) were on-par with last week on The CW.
Finals Update: 'The Bachelorette' (+0.1), 'The Wall' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'The Price Is Right: Bob Barker Studio Goodbye' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Sunday TV Ratings 7/9/23: Celebrity Family Feud and The $100,000 Pyramid Premiere Near Lows, The Prank Panel Struggles, HouseBroken Returns Even Lower (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: The Sunday game show lineup was back in action on ABC, but the results were not particularly encouraging. 'The Prank Panel' (0.31) took over the 8 p.m. time slot and ended up declining from the rerun of 'America's Funniest Home Videos' (0.38) that held down the 7 o'clock hour. To its credit, this rating was a hundredth higher than its May preview (0.30), but it was clearly lower than what 'Celebrity Family Feud' would post in this slot in the past. 'Feud' itself (0.38) got off to a shaky start in its new, 9 p.m. time slot. This rating went below every episode from summer 2022 and serves as a new series low for the program. At 10, 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.29) narrowly avoided new-low territory but fell behind the vast majority of its summer '22 installments.
On Fox, animated sitcom 'HouseBroken' (0.11/0.09) returned for another round of episodes after being off the air for over a month. The series tied its previous low at 9:30 and was preceded by reruns of 'Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars' (0.11), 'The Simpsons' (0.13), and 'Family Guy' (0.10). On CBS, 'Tough As Nails' (0.18) shed a hundredth from last Sunday's premiere, even as '60 Minutes' (0.36, +0.08) shot up. Repeats of 'The Equalizer' (0.13) and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (0.12) occupied the slots they often do. On NBC, the '2023 Women's U.S. Open Golf Championship' (0.17) improved a bit from Saturday's telecast (0.11) and led into another 'America's Got Talent' rerun (0.16). The CW had encores of 'Gotham Knights' (0.04) and 'Superman & Lois' (0.04). Both grew by a hundredth when compared to last week.
Finals Update: 'Celebrity Family Feud' (+0.1) adjusted up, as did repeats of 'America's Funniest Home Videos' (+0.1), '60 Minutes' (+0.1), and 'America's Got Talent' (+0.1).
Saturday TV Ratings 7/8/23: Greatest Geek Year Ever Has OK Start, MLB Leads Again, Women’s US Open Golf Low (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: The series premiere of 'Greatest Geek Year Ever' (0.04) was passable by The CW's standards and could only tie last week's reruns of 'Masters of Illusion' (0.04/0.04). Repeats of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' (0.03/0.03) occupied the 9 o'clock hour. On the Fox network, 'MLB Regional Coverage' (0.44, +0.06) grew some more and topped the night as it normally does. ABC's broadcast of 'UFC 290' (0.33) settled for a strong, second-place finish in the Adults 18-49 demographic. At 10, a rerun of 'The Prank Panel' (0.11) only retained a third of the 'UFC' rating. NBC's showing of the '2023 Women's US Open Golf Championship' (0.11) was incredibly meager and lost out to the encore of 'America's Got Talent' (0.12) that followed it. CBS aired repeats of 'NCIS' (0.11) and '48 Hours' (0.14/0.16).
Finals Update: 'MLB: Regional Coverage' (+0.1), 'UFC 290' (+0.1), and the 10 PM repeat of '48 Hours' (+0.1) adjusted up.
Friday TV Ratings 7/7/23: Moonshine Has OK Start by CW Standards as Family Law Nears Series High, WWE SmackDown Rises, Tough as Nails Ticks Up (UPDATED)
Ratings Analysis: 'Family Law' (0.07) had a strong return on The CW and was only two-hundredths below its series high. At 9, 'Moonshine' (0.04) had a passable launch by the network's standards. Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.76, +0.07) climbed some more and posted a rating that was 230% higher than the program in second place. CBS's 'Tough as Nails' (0.23, +0.04) grew a bit from its meager, Sunday-night premiere (0.19). Reruns of 'Fire Country' (0.14) and 'Blue Bloods' (0.15) followed 'Nails'. NBC aired repeats of 'Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge' (0.18) and 'Dateline' (0.23). ABC beat out NBC in the 8 p.m. time slot with a rerun of 'Will Trent' (0.20), but they lost out to the peacock network at 9 since their encore of '20/20' (0.19) trailed 'Dateline'.
Finals Update: 'WWE SmackDown' (+0.1) adjusted up.

In the 10 p.m. hour, a rerun of 'Press Your Luck' (0.30) also improved when compared to last week. NBC's 'The Blacklist' (0.20, -0.05) took a hit and barely beat out the 9 p.m. repeat of 'Law & Order: SVU' (0.19). The 10 o'clock encore of 'Magnum PI' (0.15) was up by two-hundredths from the June 29th one. Reruns of 'Young Sheldon' (0.25) and 'Ghosts' (0.18) declined on CBS, while encores of 'So Help Me Todd' (0.16) and 'CSI: Vegas' (0.14) were flat.

Ratings Analysis: Though 'Judge Steve Harvey' (0.27, 0.00) held even with last week, 'The Wonder Years' (0.23, +0.02) grew by two-hundredths on ABC. But, despite its best efforts, the sophomore sitcom was beaten head-on by a rerun of 'Young Sheldon' (0.27). 'Sheldon' had ample lead-in support from a strong repeat of 'The Price Is Right At Night' (0.42) and led into a middling 'Mission: Impossible' special (0.22). A rerun of 'CSI: Vegas' (0.16) closed out CBS's night but lost out to ABC's encore of 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.20). The 'Pyramid' encore built significantly on the rerun of 'Abbott Elementary' (0.15) that led into it. On NBC, 'LA Fire & Rescue' (0.23, -0.02) slipped some more and was followed by repeats of 'Chicago Fire' (0.15) and 'Chicago PD' (0.21). 'MasterChef' (0.22) and 'Gordon Ramsay's Food Stars' (0.18) were both in repeat-mode on Fox. 'Nancy Drew' (0.06, +0.03) and 'Riverdale' (0.06, +0.03) bounced back on the CW.
