- ABC's Sunday lineup gave back its World Cup-fueled bounce from last week... and in the case of Rising Star (1.0), it gave back that bounce and then some, dropping by 0.3 to go 0.2 beneath its previous low. Last week's World Cup lead-in was perfectly timed so that ABC execs could talk about this show's ratings momentum at press tour, but that's clearly gone now (if it was ever there).
- Unforgettable (1.0) picked up another notch in its second week at 9/8c, putting it pretty close to what it was delivering after Big Brother last summer.
- On cable, FX's The Strain (1.0) was down two tenths in week two, while Lifetime's new drama The Lottery (0.4) drew little initial interest.

Solid C- to me. I think NCIS: New Orleans might give it help it out. It hit its series high on the night of the LA premiere
Ouch at Rising Star. That ain't coming back.
I just had to drive over to my Grandparent's house because they didn't understand the viewing diary Nielsen sent them and I was a "TV Guy". Nielsen will be excited to know 2 78 year olds watch local news and America's Funniest Home Videos
I think to say that Tuesdays at 8:00 got easier over the course of the season is a little misleading. Yes, SHIELD clearly did not sustain its early numbers and The Voice's Fall season moved up an hour a few weeks in. But ABC didn't cycle through reality shows that could only pop a number for its premiere (The Taste, Celebrity Wife Swap, Splash) and then quickly fade. Couple the increased scripted competition with The Voice moving back down to the hour and 8:00 became rougher going compared against 2012-2013.
Next season NCIS should only have to worry about The Voice, unless Utopia surprises everyone in a good way.
Did Family Guy repeat some special event episode? Cause that half point jump from its Simpsons lead-in is abnormal.
Might be the one where Brian died or came back. I dunno.
Big Bang repeated at a 1.5 last Thursday, so Family Guy might be top repeater of the night. Seeing as the finale had a 2.0 rating this is impressive
If Backpackers was pulled now it would have like an 8 plus. Has any show every done worse?
And if it doesn't get pulled, it might go lower!
My primary concern about NCIS isn't the timeslot competition - it's the creative factors. Primarily, it doesn't seem as though Bishop (Emily Wickersham) is all that well-liked by fans, especially after factoring in the length that Ziva/De Pablo was on the show, and the ways in which that kind of tenure endears a character to the fans. And for those who don't watch, NCIS is more character-driven than certain other procedurals (including, to an extent, LA) so this would be a bigger factor in its ratings prowess or woes in a given season.
I wouldn't be surprised if Hotel Hell eventually fills the kind of role that Kitchen Nightmares had. And while it was roughly a 24-esque performer I think the compatibility/"synergy" between it and MasterChef helped the latter hit a new high.
CBS may call this show "a billion-dollar franchise," but there is no denying that this is an incredibly old-skewing show, dropping as low as 16% on 4/15/14. Even though skew probably isn't a big factor in the grade, I think it's important to note that both Dateline NBC and 20/20 (two news programs) had younger skews than NCIS this season. CBS may care more about total viewers, but I think a declining skew (along with other factors) could foreshadow some troubling times ahead... just ask the folks for American Idol. I hate to bash on the show so much but I really don't see it having the 18-49 strength to hype-up and launch another spinoff, much less benefit from it ratings-wise.
Cult averaged an 8 just last season. And in 2007 the CW aired a block in the 7:00 hour of "CW Now" (9 Plus) and "Online Nation" (three episodes at a 0.23 average for a 7 Plus). I believe Online Nation is the record-holder, but I may be forgetting some other CW Sunday show. So Backpackers will need to rack up some more 0.1's to challenge for the record.
It also works as the episodes are self contained, unlike serial Hell's Kitchen and Masterchef, and like Kitchen Nightmares
Has it really been 686 days since Hotel Hell last aired? Wow, sure doesn't feel like it. Glad to have it back on the air though!
Backpackers and Seed pulled.
Next Monday: Young Hollywood Awards, as already planned.
August 4th & 11th: Arrow repeats.
August 18th: America’s Next Top Model Season Premiere.
For first 6 weeks ANTM will air on Monday, with repeats on Friday. Then it goes to Friday (originally it was scheduled to run entire season on Fridays).
Are they going to repeat Arrow 3 times a week for those weeks?
Dunno. Possibly. Kinda not crucial here.
EDIT:
Penn & Teller: Fool Us premieres Wednesday 8 PM, July 30 th (that's something with magicians)
Then probably "only" 2 times a week.
