The ongoing 2018 Stanley Cup Final led NBC to Monday overnight victory, with an estimated 3.9 rating/7 share in households from 8-11 p.m. As a reminder, results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

There were two season premieres last night: Annual summer reality/competition “So You Think You Can Dance” on Fox and comedic “Whose Line is it Anyway?” on The CW. This now one-hour edition of “So You Think You Can Dance” opened with 2.8/ 5 (#4) in the 8 p.m. hour, which was 22 percent above the 2.3/ 4 for an original installment of “Gotham” on the year-ago evening. And two episodes of “Whose Line is it Anyway” averaged a modest 0.7/ 1 (#5) from 9-10 p.m., which was 50 percent below lead-in “Supergirl” (#5: 1.4/ 3 from 8-9 p.m.).

This fall “Supergirl” moves to Sunday at 8 p.m. on The CW into the upcoming reboot of “Charmed.”

Tops among the regularly scheduled programming was ABC’s veteran “The Bachelorette,” which averaged a typical 4.3/ 7 from 8-10 p.m. Also original were 10 p.m. dramas “Elementary” on CBS (#2L 3.2/ 6), which will return in 2018-19 in midseason, and ABC’s canceled “The Crossing” (#3: 2.2/ 4).
