We're pleased about the return of well-formatted weekly data!
Hell's Kitchen might have been #10 in overall viewing, but it led the week with adults 18-49. America's Got Talent was #1 overall and second with adults 18-49.
Big Brother was very strong for CBS taking the #3, #5, and #12spots with adults 18-49, and the Tuesday airing featuring Chima Simone getting bounced was the #6 program for the week in overall viewers.
ABC had only two shows in the 18-49 top 25, and they were #24 and #25!
Now onto the top 25 lists for 18-49 and overall viewing...

I’m about to cry for the tables return!
The exciting return of well-formatted data must have thrown you off a bit, because The Big Bang Theory was #4 in 18-49 this week, while the third BB episode is #12.
Which just makes me excited to see what TBBT will do in the fall.
Thank God the table is back. So I guess Nielsen has no more problems with that right?:D
its a beautiful day on this site… im so proud.. :’(
forg/anon the issue isn’t with the weekly info. it’s with the overnight reports.
haha Mega, I can’t blame the table since in the table it was correct. I blame bad eyes making all shows that have two words beginning with “B” strung together look the same
Prose corrected though, thank you.
Yeah, it threw me off at first, too. I didn’t notice until second glance.
Oh, don’t worry Robert I was just happy to see the format once again. It’s a pleasure for the eyes…
Well at least we have the table back, it will be useful one the Fall season starts but I hope you will expand this top 40 if possible just in case you could not still post tables on overnights
