(R) = repeat

(F) = finale

CBS decided to burn off the final two episodes of Candy Crush on Saturday (0.2/0.3). The show was a ratings catastrophe on Sunday nights, so it's not surprising that it went this low. It led into 1 hour of 48 Hours (0.3).

ABC had a massive college football game (3.3/4.1/4.0) that hit numbers that the alphabet network likely won't ever see for any of their scripted programs.

Fox's college football game (0.5/0.4/0.5) couldn't hold a candle to ABC's.

NBC had an AGT repeat (0.4/0.5) followed by a Dateline original (0.5).

TV Ratings 8/27/17: Family Feud Returns Higher, Funderdome & Pyramid Down (UPDATED)

Sunday was a night of solid increases for most of the networks, with all but CBS seeing nice week-to-week increased. Fox saw the biggest gains, with Preseason Football miles ahead on Golf, and the repeats benefitting majorly from it. All of their repeats did really well, only going as low as 0.8, despite the cable competition. ABC had the return of Celebrity Family Feud, which was up two tenths from its latest outing. Funderdome and Pyramid weren't helped by Feud's return, showing that they've got their own audiences, as neither were effected when Feud went off the air, either. AFHV had a surprisingly big repeat in the 7 PM slot, up two tenths to 1.0. NBC had a huge improvement from last week with Preseason Sunday Night Football, up about a point from the ANW repeat from last week. Dateline NBC posted an impressive 1.1 at 7. CBS, the only network that was steady, had an even Big Brother, followed by a higher (for now at least) episode of Candy Crush. The 7 PM 60 Minutes repeat was down.
Finals Update: Candy Crush (-0.1), Dateline NBC(-0.3) a repeat of AFHV (-0.1), Funderdome (-0.1), Celebrity Family Feud (-0.1), and Pyramid (-0.1) adjusted down. Sunday Night Football (+0.3) adjusted up.

TV Ratings 8/20/17: Big Brother Ticks Down, Gymnastics Much Higher than Golf (UPDATED)

It was a pretty slow Sunday night last night, with only a few regularly-scheduled original programs actually airing. The night did have some sporting (non)events, but other than Big Brother, everything failed to crack a 1.0. Speaking of Big Brother, the show ticked down another tenth, now down to 1.8. The number is still great, but it's the lowest that the show has been in a while. After that, Candy Crush continued to flop like nobody's business, steady at 0.5 with a 0.6 in its first half. After that was another 0.4 from the NCIS: LA repeat. On ABC, Celebrity Family Feud took another week off, though Funderdome and Pyramid were unaffected, both steady week-to-week. The AFV repeat was up a tick from last week. On Fox, they had anemically-rated Golf with a 0.3, with a group of repeats at 0.5/0.6/0.7/0.7. NBC had some more success with a sporting event with a 0.6 for Gymnastics, though it started out pretty shaky with 0.5s for the first two half-hours. It lead into a flat 0.6 from a repeat of American Ninja Warrior.

Finals Update: The America's Funniest Home Videos repeat (-0.1), US Amateur Golf (-0.1), Candy Crush (-0.1), a repeat of Family Guy (-0.1), and a repeat of The Simpsons (-0.1) adjusted down.

TV Ratings 8/6/17: Big Brother Finally Gets its 2.0, American Grit Ends Steady (UPDATED)

Fox said goodbye to American Grit and sent it off with a 2-hr finale (0.4). With those numbers, it's clear they won't miss it. The season (series?) finale led out of repeats of Bob's Burgers (0.3/0.3).

NBC aired an original Dateline at 7 (0.6) and it did universally better than an average Megyn Kelly. It led into game show and reality-competition show repeats (0.6/0.7). 

On the heels of its renewal, Celebrity Family Feud (1.0) lost a tenth and tied its series low after taking a week off. Funderdome (0.7) also hit a new low while Pyramid (0.7) was steady at 10. 

CBS's Big Brother (1.9) continued to destroy the competition. Unfortunately, Candy Crush (0.5) continued to not take advantage of its strong lead-in. Those originals were sandwiched between repeats of 60 Minutes (0.7) and NCIS: Los Angeles (0.4). 

Finals Update: Big Brother (+0.1) adjusted up to finally reach its first 2.0. Candy Crush (-0.1) adjusted down.
