Thanks.

Nothing much to talk about with this night of mostly repeats.

Other than BB's drop in the second half, HSM:GITP bombing, and the ratings for Flashpoint's double airings.

At least BB was steady in the Demo this time around. It's hard for me to imagine many of the 60 Minutes viewers sticking around for Big Brother.

Boy HSM turned out to be a really big bust for ABC!!!! Also, they should find something better for the 10:00 besides the DH repeats which do absolutely horrible. lol

Thank you, Travis.

And this was supposed to be the biggest show on the summer

I think BB's ratings again were because people knew what the result was going to be with regards to nominations- which were heavily edited (they really didn't touch on a couple of major things). Still, it's a 6.042 million average and decent 18-49's- and I suspect the move of the eviction shows to Thursdays will help somewhat.

It's a lost week anyway- unless something changes, Angie is gone, mainly because Keesha was jealous of all the attention Angie was getting from the guys (and also because she wants to keep Libra as a lightning rod)- but if Jessie survives and wins HOH this week (and we're about due for an endurance HOH which should favor him), Keesha better look out...

Now that CBS has 'juiced' initial audience interest with double airings, the encore edition will soon go away. This Saturday is, I think, the last encore for Flashpoint. CBS just has to hope that all the viewers are willing to migrate to the Thursday 10pm timeslot now.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. There's still four days left for Jessie to self destruct and that could defenitely happen.

I like how the Simpsons really spiked up on the 2nd repeat, helping Family Guy go over 5 million.

BIG BROTHER Does seem to be holding its own.

And I too believe Angie is toast. She it twisting in the wind as Jessie psychophants Michelle and Memphis will support him over her.

Keesha's revenge for Steven was too similiar to Ivette trying to avenge Cappy's eviction...I hope that is the last we will hear of it.

Why did BB show that random converstation with Ollie and April when there is much more exciting footage between the two? (I still can't believe what she asked Ollie to do while under the covers...check out You Tube-it'll be one of those age verification ones).

FOX Wins Again in A18-49 Where It Leads for 2008 July Sweep; CBS Still First in Viewers

FOX further solidified its hold on first in A18-49 where it averages a 2.0 in A18-49, followed by NBC in second with 1.6, CBS and ABC tied third with 1.5 (though HSM:GITP is helping push ABC down to the 1.4 area), The CW fifth with 0.6, and MyNetworkTV last with a 0.3 average. Year-over-year, all the six networks are showing A18-49 declines from last July, and overall, A18-49 is down 10% across the six nets from last July. The largest year-over-year declines are being experienced by The CW (down 19%), CBS (down 14%) and MyNetworkTV (down 14%).

After 25 nights, CBS holds on to its customary lead in households and viewership, with FOX in second, NBC third, ABC fourth, CW fifth and MNT is last.

In households, which overall are down by 4% from last July, ABC, CBS, FOX and MyNetworkTV are all down only 2% from the same as last summer, while NBC is down only 3%. Only The CW is having a rough summer in households where its numbers have fallen off the most by 21%.

In viewers, ABC, FOX and CBS are all even when compared to last years July Sweep, while NBC and MyNetworkTV are only down 1% from last year. Overall viewership is down 2% to last July (down 436,000 viewers on average). The biggest year-over-year decline in viewership is being experienced by the repeat-heavy The CW which is down 20% year-over-year.

* MyNetworkTV first 22 nights only.

The data for last weekend is based on FAST National numbers, whereas previous nights this this year and last years comparative numbers are based upon final Nielsen numbers.

Nota Bene. This year's Sweep includes the low-HUT Fourth of July whereas last year's Sweep started on July 5th and did not include the Fourth of July.

FOX will win yeat another Sweeps demo, but CBS has a very good chance at 2nd place.

Since it began premiering the Sumer shows during the 2nd week of the sweeps, it has picked up a lot of ground on both ABC and NBC.

ABC should/will finish 4th in the demo, but 2nd place will be a photo finish between NBC and CBS.
