Summer Renew/Cancel Week 9: When the Game Night’s Over

With multiple shows premiering this week and the outlook changing for a few shows, it seemed like a good week to do a double update. While Summer Renew/Cancels are usually reserved for Thursdays, this special Renew/Cancel is coming to you right now to cover Hollywood Game Night, The Wall, Stargirl and more!

Sunday TV Ratings 6/28/20: BET Awards Low on CBS, Celebrity Family Feud Hits Season Low After Week Off (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: Airing on CBS, The BET Awards (0.4) found its way onto broadcast for the first time to little fanfare. While substantially below 2019's 0.95 rating, this showing was only a simulcast and it likely performed much better on its traditional network. The broadcast was preceded by an original '60 Minutes' (0.7), the news-magazine staple rose a tenth and tied for the top program of the night.

On ABC, 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.7), 'Press Your Luck' (0.6), and 'Match Game' (0.5) all fell a tenth from their last episodes but still comfortably outperformed CBS head-on. Earlier in the night, the alphabet network filled the 7pm hour with a sturdy 'AFV' repeat (0.5). NBC had a stable 'Hollywood Game Night' (0.2) and another helping of 'Titan Games' + 'AGT' repeats (0.2/0.4).

Despite being embroiled in voice-actor controversy, repeats of 'Simpsons' (0.2) and 'Family Guy' (0.3) did not see any significant bump on Fox. But the 'Bob's Burgers' encore (0.3) inched up from last week. The 'Last Man Standing' (0.1), 'Duncanville' (0.1), and 'Bless the Harts' (0.2) repeats remained in anemic territory. The CW got similar results out of 'Stargirl' (0.1) and 'Penn & Teller' (0.1) encores.

Finals Update: Celebrity Family Feud (+0.1) adjusted up.

Sunday TV Ratings 6/21/20: John Bolton Interview Tops Night, John Legend Special and United We Sing Low (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: President Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton sat down for an interview with ABC's Martha Raddatz (0.7) and pretty easily beat out the rest of the competition on broadcast. The 9pm Bolton interview was a notch above week-ago 'Press Your Luck' (0.66) and within striking distance of last week's original 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.8). Earlier in the night at 8, a John Legend Father's Day special (0.4) failed to gain much traction. Legend lost a tenth from a 7pm 'Celebrity Family Feud' repeat (0.5) and garnered half the audience of last week's timeslot occupant. A 'Match Game' encore (0.4) capped the night at 10.

CBS had a strong showing of '60 Minutes' (0.6), down a tenth from last week, but a Grammy special after it (0.3) completely tanked. The 10pm 'NCIS: New Orleans' encore (0.2) managed to fall even lower than that. NBC's 'Hollywood Game Night' (0.3) gained a tenth and led into 'Titan Games' (0.3) and 'AGT' (0.4) repeats. Fox mostly had 0.2s for their comedy repeats with only the 7:30 'Duncanville' (0.1) and 9:30 'Family Guy' (0.3) straying away from that number. The CW had another batch of 'Stargirl' (0.1) and 'Supergirl' (0.1) repeats.

Finals Update: Hollywood Game Night (-0.1), United We Sing (-0.1) and repeats of Celebrity Family Feud (-0.1), Stargirl (-0.1) and Supergirl (-0.1) adjusted down.

Sunday TV Ratings 6/14/20: Celebrity Family Feud Down while Press Your Luck and Match Game Rise, Hollywood Game Night Goes Even Lower (UPDATED)
