Spotted Ratings, Monday 6/9/14

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC's American Ninja Warrior (1.7) and Fox's MasterChef (1.6) and 24: Live Another Day (1.6) all gave back a chunk of their post-Memorial Day bounces (but remained slightly ahead of the Memorial Day numbers from two weeks ago).

• A week after airing four original The Bachelorette hours, this week ABC didn't have any; a clip show at 8/7c (1.0) led into a Hillary Clinton interview (1.1), which was a much worse lead-in for week two of Mistresses (0.9). Presumably this was all about lining up the Clinton interview with today's release of Clinton's book, but it was definitely not a good situation for either Bachelorette or Mistresses.

• On cable, the Stanley Cup Finals (1.2) moved to NBCSN and suffered as usual; Game 3 was down by 25% from last year's Game 3, which roughly matches the year-to-year trend for Game 1 on NBC. And TNT brought back Major Crimes (0.9) at even year-to-year, while newbie lead-out Murder in the First (0.6) matched last summer's premiere of eventually failed King & Maxwell.
