Ratings Breakdown:
Note: Due to NASCAR bleeding into primetime (until 9:02 ET), metered market (overnight) rating results for NBC will be adjusted and reissued.

CBS topped this fourth Sunday in July thanks to a repeat of “60 Minutes” and lead-out “Big Brother.” But a 4.0 rating/7 share in the household overnights for “Big Brother” at 8 p.m. (tied with “Celebrity Family Feud” on ABC) was wasted on episode three of lead-out game show “Candy Crush,” which slipped to a series-low 1.4/ 2 in the 9 p.m. hour.

ABC got some mileage out of game shows “Steve Harvey’s Funderdome” (#1: 2.7/ 5) and “The $100,000 Pyramid” (#1: 2.8/ 5) from 9-11 p.m. But NBC newsmagazine “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly” continues to disappoint, as does competition “American Grit” on Fox (#4: 0.8/ 1 at 9 p.m.), which is not worthy of a third season.
