We're in the dog days of summer, 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:

• The Simpsons (Fox) 2 airings - A summer repeat at 8pm did 3.22 million and a 1.39 18-49 rating, which is up tenths in 18-49 from previous week. A 7:30pm repeat leading in did 2.07 million and a 0.91 18-49 rating, but down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week.

A repeat of American Dad! aired at 7pm and did 1.41 million and a 0.65 18-49 rating, down about a tenth in 18-49 with previous week's Cleveland Show airing in the time period.

• New Girl (Fox) - A repeat at 9 did only 1.66 million and just a 0.7 18-49 rating, up a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. It doesn't repeat well for an anchor at all.

Wednesday Sitcoms

• The Neighbors (ABC) - A summer repeat did 2.3 million and a 0.7 18-49 rating at 9:30pm, on par in 18-49 with previous week. Good exposure for the fall when it moves to Fridays.

Friday Sitcoms

• None.

Saturday Sitcoms

• None.

Airing tonight (Sunday) are repeats of Fox Animation Domination from 7-10pm.

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