- The NBA Finals (5.9) continued on its nearly dead-even year-to-year pace; this game was a single tenth ahead of last year's Game 3.
- In the first of the annual showdown between the NBA and America's Got Talent, Talent took a 10% week-to-week hit. However, The Night Shift (1.5) remained impressively steady.
- On cable, Pretty Little Liars (1.1) returned down from last summer's 1.3 premiere, while newbie lead-out Chasing Life (0.5) had an unpromising start. (The first post-PLL episode of last year's Twisted had a 0.5, but that episode had been previewed months earlier; the first completely new episode rose to 0.7 the next week.) And the declines continued for USA's Royal Pains (0.6), which opened up season six at a new series low.
