Preliminary Ratings: Monday 07/20/15

Another Monday, another battle between ABC and NBC for the top spot in the nightly ratings. Both networks pull roughly the same numbers in each category, with ABC having the advantage in the younger viewers, with NBC slightly better in the older demographics. THE BACHELORETTE was the most watched show and did better in the A18-49 demo, edging AMERICAN NINJA WARRIOR in viewers, but losing in the A18-49 age group. Neither network's 10 p.m. shows did well, loosing about 50%, or more, in each ratings category.

FOX edged out CBS' all-repeat line up. as SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE stays flat, week-to-week. NCIS: LA ties BEAR GRYLLS in the A18-49 demo.

The CW's FOOL US looses 20% in the ratings, and that ripples downward, through the night.
