- In yet another less-than-encouraging sign for the second season of the "limited series," Under the Dome (2.1) came back at over a third behind last summer's breakthrough 3.3 premiere. Dome only avoided a new series low because the show had a 2.1 for an episode with an irregular start time late in season one. This is pretty close to the kind of drop that happened with early season two of The Following; and though Dome will hope to improve on that trend once the inflated series premiere comparison is behind it, The Following's trend got even worse in subsequent episodes. But, for perspective: a 2.1 still makes it one of the very biggest shows of the summer, and still miles ahead of the dramas CBS put in this slot in-season. Season one was such a revelation that the show still has much room to fall before we stop talking about it as a ratings success.
- It hasn't been too exciting on the other networks over the last couple Mondays. On Fox, 24: Live Another Day (1.4 on 6/23, 1.4 on 6/30) hasn't rallied from the huge drop it took when we last checked in on 6/16. However, MasterChef (1.7 on 6/23, 1.9 on 6/30) scored a season high. And ABC's The Bachelorette (1.5 on 6/23, 1.6 on 6/30) took a dip on 6/23 and bounced back a touch last night.
