After months of bare schedules across broadcast, with few originals to be found, a new TV season is finally upon us. With that, it's time to wrap up another season of the Summer Renew/Cancel, and give my final calls on all of the shows that aired across ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC this summer!

Tuesday TV Ratings 8/26/25: Emma & Bruce Willis Special OK, Alien: Earth and Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson Decline, America’s Got Talent Rises [+ Analysis]

ABC's special about Emma and Bruce Willis (0.25) put up a solid rating, but CBS's NCIS repeat (0.26) was a step ahead of it. America's Got Talent (0.35, +0.03) grew a bit on NBC, but Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson (0.13, -0.02) dropped from an already tepid premiere rating. The 1% Club (0.20, +0.01) inched up on Fox, but The Snake (0.12, -0.01) was down for its finale. WWE NXT (0.12, -0.03) also dropped on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.

Tuesday TV Rating 8/19/25: Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson Struggles in Debut, Alien: Earth Stays Solid, America’s Got Talent Steady [+ Analysis]

Songs & Stories with Kelly Clarkson (0.15) disappointed in its NBC debut, retaining less than half of its America's Got Talent lead-in (0.32, 0.00). ABC aired repeats of High Potential (0.18) and Will Trent (0.12/0.10). CBS aired reruns of NCIS (0.17), NCIS: Origins (0.13), and NCIS: Sydney (0.14). The 1% Club (0.19, -0.01) ticked down on Fox, but The Snake (0.13, +0.02) perked up. WWE NXT (0.15, -0.02) declined on the CW. Key: (R) = repeat.
