On ABC, the 'America's Funniest Home Videos' repeat (0.39) returned to the 7PM hour, but 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.50, -0.01) actually declined by a hundredth despite the lead-in improvement. At 9, 'The Final Straw' (0.39, +0.05) enjoyed a healthy rebound while 'The $100,000 Pyramid' (0.37, -0.02) dipped by two-hundredths. NBC's 'Who Do You Think You Are?'

Reruns of 'Beat Shazam' (0.16), 'The Simpsons' (0.16), and 'The Great North' (0.15) were abysmal on Fox. 'Bob's Burgers' (0.19) and 'Family Guy' (0.20) picked up the slack a touch in the 9PM hour.
