Sunday TV Ratings 8/7/22: Big Brother Tops Night, Celebrity Family Feud Inches Down, Family Game Fight! Burnoff Meager (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: CBS's 'Big Brother' (0.81, -0.02) dipped by two-hundredths from last Sunday's episode but remained on a level of its own when compared to the ratings of its peers. '60 Minutes' (0.37) shed a hundredth at 7 while reruns of 'The Equalizer' (0.20) and 'NCIS: LA' (0.20) were stable. Over on ABC, 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.54, -0.02) lost two-hundredths as 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.46, +0.01) and 'The Final Straw' (0.29, +0.03) picked up a few ticks. The 7PM encore of 'AFV' (0.41) topped its hour as it often does. NBC series 'Who Do You Think You Are?' (0.11, -0.10) completely nosedived and did nothing to help boost the "season finale" of 'Family Game Fight!' (0.17, -0.15). The latter crashed from Tuesday's passable showing (0.32) and has now completed airing the two episodes left from its first season order that did not air last summer. At 9, the rerun of reality staple 'America's Got Talent' (0.26) bested both original offerings on the peacock network. Fox had repeats of 'Beat Shazam' (0.14), 'The Simpsons' (0.15), 'The Great North' (0.12), 'Bob's Burgers' (0.14), and 'Family Guy' (0.20). 'Family Guy' noticeably had more life in it than the others. The CW got the same rating out of reruns of 'World's Funniest Animals' (0.04/0.04) and 'Penn & Teller: Fool Us' (0.04). 

Finals Update: 'Big Brother' (+0.1), 'Family Game Fight!' (+0.1), 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (+0.1), and the repeat of '60 Minutes' (+0.1) adjusted up.

Tuesday TV Ratings 8/2/22: Family Game Fight! Modest Behind Dropping America’s Got Talent, Tom Swift Stays Low for Series Finale (UPDATED)

Ratings Analysis: NBC's 'Family Game Fight!' (0.32) made an unremarkable return to TV, losing more than half of its 'America's Got Talent' lead-in (0.67, -0.10) and coming in a tenth lower than its finale from September 2021 (0.42). CW drama 'Tom Swift' (0.03, -0.02) crumbled on series finale night but at least matched the 'Superman & Lois' repeat (0.03) that led into it. ABC's 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' rerun (0.37) bested CBS's 'FBI' one (0.36) head-on, but the alphabet network's encores of 'Generation Gap' (0.24) and 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.22) were no match for the Tiffany network's 'FBI: International' (0.31) and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.30) repeats. Fox was uncompetitive with encores of 'Crime Scene Kitchen' (0.16) and 'Fantasy Island' (0.11). 

Finals Update: 'America's Got Talent' (+0.1) adjusted up, as did repeats of 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' (+0.1), 'FBI' (+0.1), and 'Crime Scene Kitchen' (+0.1).

A 10pm '20/20' special about poet laureate Amanda Gorman (0.22) retained less than 50% of the 'Pyramid' audience. On CBS, 'Big Brother' (0.86) held at the same rounded rating as the week prior while 'House Calls with Dr. Phil' (0.20/0.15) bowed out in horrific fashion. Fox's 'MasterChef' (0.52) inched down for its 2-hour season finale. 'Riverdale' (0.08) was essentially flat on the CW but was still bested by a pair of 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' reruns' (0.09/0.11).
