- Finales for two of the summer's notable unscripted successes, American Ninja Warrior (1.8) and Bachelor in Paradise (1.4), didn't really generate any week-to-week heat (though the latter may have been nicked by a significant pre-emption).
- The only notable mover was Under the Dome (1.4), which merely bounced back from last week's really bad result. (Fortunately for Dome, the afternoon tennis match ended quickly and didn't cause a primetime overrun.)
- ESPN's annual Week 1 Monday Night Football doubleheader was way down for the early game (5.2 vs. last year's 6.6), but the more competitive late game was slightly up (5.1 vs. last year's 5.0).
