FOX easily won the night with two hours of So You Think You Can Dance pulling in over 8.7 million viewers and a 3.0/10 (rating/share) among 18-49 year olds.
CBS came in second in both total viewers and among 18-49 year olds with its lineup of Greatest American Dog (which, while hardly anything to write home about, still came in second in total viewers for the 8pm hour), and repeats of Criminal Minds and CSI: NY.
ABC came in third overall with repeats Primetime: China Inside Out, but was fourth among 18-49 year olds. Univision was third among 18-49 year olds, but fifth out of sixth in total viewers.
Baby Borrowers: Lessons Learned just goes to show people don’t like to learn. It pulled in a mere 3.35 million viewers and a 1.2/3 among 18-49 year olds.
The nets have a huge issue with 18-34 year olds in the summer. Though not listed below, FOX won that demo easily with a 2.9/10 and Univision was second with a 1.8/6 well ahead of ABC and CBS (1.1/4) and NBC (1.0/3). The CW isn’t even worth mentioning…

From Marc Berman site:
Greatest American Dog(Viewers: #2, 5.90 million; A18-49: #2t, 1.5/ 5)
Wife Swap (R) (Viewers: #4, 4.36 million; A18-49: #2t, 1.5/ 5)
btw, kudos to Criminal Minds.. 10 million for a repeat (with a low demo), good job for CBS.
Wopa, if that's the case, Berman's numbers are wrong. Wife Swap got a 1.4/5 among 18-49 year olds. It did however CRUSH Dog among 18-34 year olds where Swap got a 1.3/5 and Dog an 0.8/3
Ahh that's ok, they're both losers in my book anyway haha.
