Summer Week 7 Sitcom Ratings; New Sitcoms On TV This Summer

Summer has started but there are still sitcom airings, new and repeats. We will be back with our normal weekly ratings report with the first four nights numbers and analysis in the fall, but we still will have our regular how the sitcoms did all summer long! Here are our summer ratings:

Summer Week 7 (July 8-14) How the Network Sitcoms Did

Last Sunday Sitcoms (counts for week of July 1-7)

  • Mike & Molly (CBS) - A repeat at 9:30pm did 4.96 million and a 1.2 18-49 rating, down four tenths from The Big Bang Theory repeat in this slot.

  • New Girl (Fox) - A repeat at 9 did only 1.25 million and just a 0.5 18-49 rating, even with last week. It doesn't repeat well for an anchor at all.

  • Modern Family (ABC) - At 9pm, a summer repeat did 2.79 million and a 0.9 rating, up one tenth from previous week.
  • The Neighbors (ABC) - The second summer repeat did 2.23 million and a 0.7 18-49 rating at 9:30pm, up one tenth from previous week.
Thursday Sitcoms
  • The Big Bang Theory (CBS) - A repeat at 8 did 8.16 million and a 2.0 rating, up eight tenths from last week's 4th of the July airing.
  • Two and a Half Men (CBS) - A repeat at 8:30pm did 6.80 million and a 1.6 18-49 rating, up eight tenth's from last week's 4th of the July airing.
  • The Office (NBC) - preempted. 
  • Parks and Recreation (NBC) - preempted.
Friday Sitcoms
  • None.
Saturday Sitcoms
  • None.
Airing tonight (Sunday) are repeats of Fox Animation Domination from 7-10pm.

Summing it up. Repeat of the Thursday The Big Bang Theory was impressive for the week. Everything else was OK (such as repeats of Two and a Half Men, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly) or just plain old terrible (such as repeats of New Girl and The Mindy Project).



Feeling the repeat blues? Look for original sitcoms on TV this summer. Some highlights include: On cable, Melissa & Joey and Baby Daddy are all-new this Wednesday beginning at 8pm. TV Land has all-new episodes of the summer season of Hot in Cleveland this Wednesday at 10pm, followed by a new The Exes at 10:30pm and a brand new The Soul Man at 11pm only on TV Land.
