Tuesday TV Ratings 7/21/20: World of Dance Slides Behind AGT Clip Show, What Would You Do? and Stargirl Also Hit Lows (UPDATED)

Tuesday TV Ratings 7/14/20: The Last Defense Special Low, America’s Got Talent Down (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: Week two of ABC's 'What Would You Do?' (0.4) got a sizable lead-in upgrade, going from leading out of a 'Black-ish' repeat (0.2) to leading out of a decently-rated '20/20' special (0.4). Despite that, the John Quiñones program held even with last week's season debut. But ABC's lineup was completely trampled by the return of NBC's 'America's Got Talent' (1.1) and 'World of Dance' (0.7). While they remained comfortably ahead of the rest of the networks, both programs were down a tenth to new season lows. Elsewhere, CBS had a drama repeat lineup (0.5/0.5/0.4) that demolished Fox's 'Hell's Kitchen' (0.3) and 'Prodigal Son' (0.2) encores. The CW's 'Stargirl' (0.2) held even and led into another low-rated comedy special (0.1).

Finals Update: The repeat of NCIS (-0.1) adjusted down.

Tuesday TV Ratings 7/7/20: What Would You Do? Returns Solidly, Stargirl Steady After Renewal, America’s Got Talent Repeat Leads (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: After eleven months off the air, ABC's 'What Would You Do?' (0.4) returned to television in semi-decent fashion in the 10pm slot. That number alone doesn't look particularly strong until put into perspective. It grew two-tenths from a miserably low 'Blackish' repeat (0.2) and was just a tenth below its previous season premiere (0.5) (8/9/19). The alphabet network started the night with an encore presentation of 'Live In Front of a Studio Audience' (0.4).

NBC's 'America's Got Talent' (0.6) and 'World of Dance' (0.4) were both in repeat mode but the 'AGT' encore still ended up registering as the night's highest-rated program. CBS wasn't far off from the peacock network with 'NCIS' (0.4), 'FBI' (0.4), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.4) encores. Fox was a tiny bit behind them with repeats of 'Hell's Kitchen' (0.3) and '24 Hours to Hell and Back' (0.3). The CW's 'Stargirl' (0.2) held even and led into 'Tom Papa: Freaked Out' (0.1).

Finals Update: All shows held their preliminary ratings.

Tuesday TV Ratings 6/30/20: The Genetic Detective Ends Steady, AGT Drops (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: With the month of June over, NBC continued to be the only network with any sort of ratings momentum on Tuesday evenings. 'America's Got Talent' (1.2) fell a tenth to a new low but remained miles above any other broadcast offerings. Lead-out reality series 'World of Dance' (0.8) held even at 10.

ABC swapped out 'The Conners' with 'Modern Family' repeats (0.4/0.3) and got the exact same result. 'Modern' led into repeats of 'Black-ish' (0.3) and 'Mixed-ish' (0.2). At 10, 'The Genetic Detective' finale (0.3) clung to last week's low but still managed to build from a poorly-rated 'Mixed-ish'. CBS managed 0.4s across the board with encores of 'NCIS' and the 'FBI' duo. Fox tied them with a 2-hour repeat of '24 Hours to Hell and Back' (0.4). The CW's 'Stargirl' (0.2) held steady once more and led into a Barry Brewer comedy special (0.1). Brewer matched what Louie Anderson's special managed in the timeslot the week prior.

Finals Update: The 8 PM repeat of Modern Family (-0.1) adjusted down.

Tuesday TV Ratings 6/23/20: World of Dance and The Genetic Detective Slip, AGT and Stargirl Steady (UPDATED)

Preliminary Analysis: NBC's 'America's Got Talent' (1.3) once more won the night, matching the same rating it has posted since its second episode this season. 'World of Dance' (0.8) lost a tenth at 10 but still topped every non-AGT program. ABC's 'The Genetic Detective' (0.3) finally fell a notch after four-straight 0.4s. The drama series led out of 'Conners' (0.4/0.3), 'Black-ish' (0.3), and 'Mixed-ish' (0.3) encores. CBS was a tick above the alphabet network with 'NCIS' (0.5), 'FBI' (0.4), and 'FBI: Most Wanted' (0.4) repeats. Fox matched their efforts with a duo of Gordon Ramsey repeats (0.4/0.4). The CW held steady with 'Stargirl' (0.2) but there was little interest in a Louie Anderson comedy special (0.1) that aired after it.

Finals Update: Repeats of Blackish (-0.1), Mixedish (-0.1) and FBI: Most Wanted (-0.1) adjusted down.
