Until the Summer Olympics arrive in July, AMERICA'S GOT TALENT will be the KING of summer programming. The veteran summer talent show was easily the #1 and #2 programs of the week. Both the Monday and Tuesday airings drew over 12 million viewers and mid 3.'s in the 18-49 demographic ratings. It does make you wonder why NBC has not attempted to bring the success of AGT to the regular season. CBS wins the week in total viewers, mainly on the strength of its repeatability of its regular series. Five of its repeat programs made the top 10 in total viewers. An additional 10 programs were in the top 25, including the abysmal showing of the 66th TONY AWARDS. The best of broadway could only muster 6 million viewers and a sad 1.0 demo rating. Time for BRAVO or TNT to run the annual program on cable and not broadcast TV.
FOX excelled in the demo ratings, taking three of the top five spots with SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and the Gordon Ramsey duo of HELL'S KITCHEN and MASTER CHEF. In fact all four hours of the opinionated Brit made the Top 10 of the demo chart.
Season/series premiere ratings:
HELL'S KITCHEN (FOX) - 5.5 million viewers (#25), 2.4 demo rating (#4)
MASTERCHEF (FOX) - 5.1 million viewers (#30), 2.3 demo rating (#5)
