The CW premiered its complete new summer monday line up, with the return of PENN & TELLER: FOOL US, which grabbed 1.8 million viewers and a solid 0.5 rating in the A18-49 ratings. That is on par with last summers premiere and about 20% better, in total viewers, than last summer's finale.

The relocated WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? picked up where it left off, on Friday nights, drawing 1.5 million viewers and holding its A18-49 leading, with a 0.5 rating. The weak point of the night is the burn-off episode of CEDRIC'S BARBER BATTLE, which lost a third of its lead in audience and 40% of its demo viewers.

ABC was the clean sweep winner of the night, posing the best numbers in all four viewing categories. THE BACHELORETTE posted its best numbers of the year, since the seas finale, in mid-March, and equaling it in the A18-49 demographic.

NBC was a close second place, on the night, as THE ISLAND: WITH BEAR GRYLLS closes out its first season. Considering its loses about half the audience it receives from NINJA WARRIOR, it may not be back for a second season.

FOX edges out an all-repeat CBS, for the #3 spot, with SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE grabbing a 1.0 rating in the A18-49 demographic, for the first time in three weeks.
