TV Line said:In the latest TV show ratings, CBS' Big Brother this Sunday drew 3.4 million total viewers and a 0.8 demo rating, dipping week-to-week yet still led the night in the demo. Love Island (1.4 mil/0.3) added eyeballs week-to-week while steady in the demo.
Opening CBS' night, 60 Minutes delivered Sunday's biggest audience: 5.7 million.
Over on The CW, Legends of Tomorrow (430K/0.1) grew its audience some. Wellington Paranormal (230K/0.0) added a few viewers to last week's Stateside premiere, while Dead Pixels' Stateside Season 2 debut did (egads) 190K and a 0.0.
ABC's Celebrity Family Feud (4.6 mil/0.6), The Chase (3.6 mil/0.4) and To Tell the Truth (3.1 mil/0.4) were all steady.
Oh cool. I wasn't even aware that this got renewed.
Bruce Campbell playing Glenn Howerton's father on AP Bio is a pretty good choice.
Now get him for a Sunny guest spot too.
Yeah, I thought the first ep was great then last night's blew me away, especially the ending reveal, so fun and so nice and fucked up.I am really enjoying the White Lotus so far. It has been scratching my Succession itch.
I *think* it's done. I feel like HBO had it in its 2021 montages recently so hopefully it arrives in the fall.Any word on Los Espookys S2? Just saw Julio Torres will be directing and starting in a new A24 film with Tilda Swindon, and was reminded we haven't heard anything after the S2 pickup.
Oh cool. I wasn't even aware that this got renewed.
Does CBS own Pluto? Actually, now I'm not sure if Fox owns Tubi. I thought they did. I kind of like these kinds of services. Tubi and PlutoTV are nice
Oh cool. Thanks for the info.Yes and yes. They basically serve as the free versions of those companies streaming strategies.
One of my favorite NBC comedies. Also another reason to not use Peacock, not that most people had been doing so anyways based on those recent reports, lol.

Did I hear you correctly, that there's been interest in a third season of "Enlightened" . . . after all that?
HBO has mentioned in the last two or three years, saying that they would be interested—a one-off short season or a movie that wraps everything up. I'm not saying I would never do it, but it just makes me wonder: Why do you want to do this now? I'm such a contrarian. I love Laura [Dern], and there would be reasons to do it. But I kind of feel like it's the Ghost of Christmas Past. It's funny, because Amy Jellicoe could actually be the villain of the third season. There could be a funny twist.
Just read this interview between Mike White and The New Yorker. He mentions about how HBO has shown some interest in returning to Enlightened.

The screenwriter and actor’s latest TV series, “The White Lotus,” scrutinizes the Faustian bargain of marrying into money.www.newyorker.com
It's an action fantasy show with a great story, and a cool female protagonist. It's way darker than you'd expect from a Disney show, and we already know that they'll get to finish the story because the final season has already begun production.
The first two seasons are on Disney+ now. The first half of the first season is mostly character building, but then the overarching story starts to kick in. Tons of fantasy elements and world building. It's awesome~
Ahhh I love this idea.Also, he says that he wants to do another season of The White Lotus, but at like a sister hotel set somewhere else. Hope he gets to do it!
The taste jumped out~ 😌💅Okay cool, thanks for the write up. I'll add it to my queue! 😘
Charlize Theron, Andy & Barbara Muschietti To Develop ‘The Final Girl Support Group’ Series Adaptation At HBO Max
HBO Max has put in development The Final Girl Support Group, a series based on Grady Hendrix's horror novel, from Charlize Theron.deadline.com
TV Line said:In the latest TV show ratings, The CW's The Republic of Sarah this Monday drew 330,000 total viewers and a 0.1 demo rating, improving on last week's series lows.
Opening The CW's night, All American with its season finale equaled its best audience since March 8 (740K) while steady in the demo (with a 0.2).
Elsewhere:
ABC | The Bachelorette (3.7 mil/0.9) and The Celebrity Dating Game (2.3 mil/0.4) were steady, with the former leading Monday in both measures.
NBC | American Ninja Warrior (3.2 mil/0.5) and Small Fortune (1.5 mil/0.3) were steady heading into the Tokyo Olympics break.
FOX | Hell's Kitchen (2.5 mil/0.6), Housebroken (1 mil/0.3) and Duncanville (740K/0.2) all added a few eyeballs while steady in the demo.
A month after the missing plane drama was axed by NBC after three seasons and Netflix opted not to pick it up, NBC is in conversations with Manifest studio Warner Bros. TV about a possible renewal, sources tell Deadline. In an intriguing twist, I hear Netflix also has resumed talks with Warner Bros. TV about a fourth season on the streamer and they have been picking up momentum.
The conversations are happening as Manifest Season 1 and 2 viewership continues to surge on Netflix in the U.S. and the #SaveManifest fan campaign remains strong. Reps for Warner Bros. TV, Netflix and NBC declined comment.
Two other things happened since NBC on June 14 canceled Manifest, the highest-rated on linear among the network's four bubble shows by a wide margin, especially in total viewers.
The network's planned eight-episode Season 5 pickup ofGood Girls fell through at the last minute over cast-deal issues, and NBC on June 25 announced that Good Girlswould not be coming back after all.
On July 15, NBC revised its fall 2020 schedule, revealing that ordered new spinoff series, Law & Order: For the Defense, was not moving forward, with veteran The Blacklist taking the drama's Thursday 8 PM slot.
The two moves freed up funds in NBC's 2020-21 drama seres budget and opened up holes on the schedule, which is believed to have helped reopen renewal talks with Warner Bros. TV on Manifest.
Meanwhile, I hear Netflix has restarted talks after passing on the show in June as Manifest has been showing great resilience, remaining in the daily top 10 for more than a month after topping the Nielsen streaming ratings in its first week of release on the platform.
‘Manifest’ May Be Saved As Netflix, NBC Eye New Season Of Canceled Series
Netflix and NBC are reportedly pursuing a fourth season of canceled NBC drama series 'Manifest.'deadline.com

NBC wants their cake and they want to eat it too. They want both that licensing revenue and streaming service revenue. It's so stupid. I do think Peacock will probably be one of the first "big" streaming services to fail (or Comcast will sell them to another media company).I thought the whole thing was Peacock was going to have all the NBC shows exclusive. What's even the point now?

nbc can thrive if they go harder in on sports, reality, talk shows, live events.NBC wants their cake and they want to eat it too. They want both that licensing revenue and streaming service revenue.

when netflix picks up incomplete shows does it give them more than one season, like Designated Survivor only got one more season from them. Just wondering if Manifest could get to its six seasons.
TV Line said:In the latest TV ratings, ABC's coverage of the sixth and deciding NBA Finals match-up drew nearly 9 million viewers along with a 2.8 demo rating (per Nielsen fast affiliates), easily marking the series' best numbers. That's up sharply from last year's Game 6 clincher (which aired in October), but on pace to be a far cry from 2019's numbers.
On the pre-game front, Jimmy Kimmel did 5.2 mil/1.4, followed by NBA Countdown's 5.9 mil/1.8.
Elsewhere:
THE CW | The Flash (720K/0.2) and Superman & Lois (820K/0.1) both dipped to their third-smallest audiences, with the latter also down a tenth in the demo.
NBC | America's Got Talent (6.6 mil/0.8) dipped, while College Bowl (2.1 mil/0.4) held steady.
FOX | LEGO Masters (1.5 mil/0.4) and the Mental Samurai Season 2 finale (950K/0.2) both hit series lows all around.
CBS | Love Island (1.6 mil/0.3) was steady week-to-week.
Barely. Supposed to be 2 but then got an extended order on the 2nd. The third came at the 11th hour as they were writing the second as a series finale.
