Spotted Ratings, Thursday 7/7/11

WHAT MATTERS:

• For the first time in about a month and a half, all four networks had at least some regularly-scheduled original programming! Leading the pack was the season premiere of CBS' Big Brother (2.7), up a couple ticks from the year-ago season premiere. It was the franchise's biggest season premiere since summer 2007.

• Among other "good faith" efforts, Fox's struggling So You Think You Can Dance (1.6) again tied the series low that it also tied last Thursday in the finals, promptly halting any momentum its spike from the previous night might have seemed to create. ABC's newbie Expedition Impossible (1.6) continues to decline precipitously, but Rookie Blue (1.5) picked back up a tick after falling last week.

• Burnoff Love Bites on NBC posted another 0.7 rating.

 Above based on preliminary adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
