On ABC, Scrubs (0.36/0.29) returned below its previously-set low (0.39), and Shark Tank (0.21/0.18) also appeared a bit deflated. MLB on NBC (1.66) continued to excel. On Fox, The Floor (0.23) was at a familiar level, and 99 to Beat (0.21, +0.01) ticked up. The Great American Road Rally (0.03, 0.00) was stable on the CW. Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.
