CBS' best night of the summer continues to be its Monday night comedy reruns with CSI: Miami closing out the night. FOX was a very close second with the lineup of Bones and House reruns and tied for first with CBS among 18-49 year olds.
How awful must it be for the Mouse? ABC got beaten resoundingly by third place NBC. American Gladitors, Nashville Star and Dateline thoroughly destroyed High School Musical: Get in the Picture, Wanna Bet and The Mole. ABC had no show get within striking distance of four million viewers, and The Mole just barely crawled over three million.
I don't think, "Hey, come on, at least we beat repeats of Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill!" is going to fly.
Update, I didn't see the Univision data until after I'd created the tables, but UNI averaged 3.78mm to ABC's 3.34mm and beat ABC in the 18-49 demographic as well (1.6/5 vs. 1.2/3 for ABC).

Funny how The Mole went back to being the lowest rated show of the night again.
And also, a request for the title of Wednesday’s ratings report, assuming that Greatest American Dog’s ratings continue to fall on their new night: Dog Becomes Dance’s Bitch. It’s technically not cursing in this context if that’s a problem!
I was think more “Dog Sniffs Dances’ Butt”, it seems a little less controversial.; )
ABC has to be VERY disappointed about HSM: Get in the Picture. Apparently, not many people are accepting their invitation. Do you think it’s a case of too much HSM? Or is American Gladiators just THAT much better?

Mike G., I think Disney/ABC underestimated how smart kids are. If it was a show about actually getting an appearance on the next HSM, I think the ratings would be very different. But since it’s only about winning an appearance in a video about HSM, they couldn’t be bothered getting involved. I don’t blame them.
PEOPLE NEED TO WATCH THE MOLE!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!
Frankly I think the problem with HSM is that the target audience isn't sitting around at home during the summer watching TV. Maybe for a one night event (like a movie for instance) but not enough to come back week after week for a show that isn't all that entertaining.
