Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Despite great numbers for last week’s debut of Bones’ debut last week, FOX saw a decline for Week 2. (Poor performances from the network’s comedies didn’t help.) This allowed NBC to take back both the viewers and the demos yesterday.
8pm
- America’s Got Talent (11.5 million, 2.9/8 in 18-49) grew by 1.3 million.
- Bones (8.9 million, 2.9/9) slipped by 800,000.
- Greatest American Dog (5.5 million, 1.7/5) retrieved 600,000 more.
- Wife Swap* (4 million, 1.4/4) tacked on another 300,000.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.8 million, 2.0/6) improved by 300,000.

Wednesday Ratings: ANTM Hits New Low
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, America’s Next Top Model, Ratings,
Unfortunately for CW, good luck did not come in threes. Despite impressive debuts for Gossip Girl and 90210, the 11th cycle of America’s Next Top Model failed to impress. (In the show’s defense, it was pitted against stiff competition.) ANTM‘s performance gave FOX the chance to take over in the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- America’s Got Talent (10.2 million, 2.7/7 in 18-49) was Wednesday’s most watched show.
- The two-hour premiere of Bones (9.7 million, 3.3/9) had the night’s best demos.
- Greatest American Dog (1.4/4) retrieved 4.9 million.
- Wife Swap* (3.7 million, 1.3/4) did slightly better than last week.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.5 million, 1.7/5) had its lowest premiere numbers to date.

(You can view TV Envy’s Summer Television Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY (7/7)
- The Bachelorette (ABC, 8pm): “In the season finale, DeAnna has a choice to make between the two finalists after taking her two suitors to a Grand Bahama Island and home to Georgia to meet her family.” In the event of a tiebreaker, the most photogenic candidate should always be chosen. Good wedding photos last forever.
- Jon & Kate Plus 8 (TLC, 9pm): “As the sextuplets turn 4, Jon and Kate take them to a bakery to decorate their own birthday cupcakes with the stipulation that they can’t eat them until after dinner.” Cupcakes? Note to the Jolie-Pitt clan. More kids = smaller birthday celebrations.
- Verminators ( Discovery, 10pm): “Jamie has to tackle his fears when he is called in to deal with a black widow.” Apparently someone needs to work on his rochambeau skills.
- Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal (A&E, 10pm): “A story of ReAnna Kelly, a girl supposedly visited by spirits, including that of her deceased grandmother, jazz singer Nina Simone.” There are times when hearing the song ‘Sinnerman’ is not so cool.
