Thursday TV Ratings 7/20/23: The Chase Rises for Finale, Generation Gap Also Rises, Women’s World Cup Off to Decent Start (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: ABC's 'The Chase' (0.35, +0.02) grew by two-hundredths for its finale and led into another rerun of 'Press Your Luck' (0.28). Earlier in the night, 'Generation Gap' (0.41, +0.04) staged an even bigger rebound than 'Chase'. Fox's broadcast of the 'FIFA Women's World Cup' (0.35) performed quite well in the 10:30 p.m. time slot.

CBS went with repeats of 'Young Sheldon' (0.23), 'Ghosts' (0.19), 'So Help Me Todd' (0.14), and 'CSI: Vegas' (0.14). NBC had encores of 'Password' (0.21) and 'Law & Order: SVU' (0.16/0.17). The CW had repeat showings of 'Walker' (0.03) and 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us' (0.04).

Finals Update: 'FIFA Women's World Cup: Nigeria v. Canada' (+0.1) adjusted up. Repeats of 'Stars on Mars' (-0.1) and 'Alert' (-0.1) adjusted down.
