Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 07/20/14

CBS swept a rather uneventful Sunday night of primetime TV, that featured just five hours of original shows, out of a possible 15. CBS had the three most watched shows of the night, starting with 60 MINUTES, at 7 p.m., through UNFORGETTABLE, ending at 10 p.m. BIG BROTHER was the nights #1 show in the A18-49 demographic, grabbing a 2.1 rating.

ABC, with to hours of new programming, could only manage to equal NBC in the A18-49 numbers. The boost that the network got last week, with a World Cup lead in, was gone this week, as WIPEOUT fell back to it's 2014 average and RISING STAR posted a series low. It has not been a good summer for the ABC.

FOX and NBC were all repeats, but FOX did manage a 2nd place finish in the A18-49 numbers, with the FAMILY GUY encore being the #2 show of the night in the demographic ratings. But, FOX was also 4th in total viewers barely getting over two million viewers.
