Monday Ratings: ABC’s ‘The Bachelorette’ Tops Depressed Night in Adults 18-49

Monday 8/08/22

Total Viewers:
CBS: 2.77 million, ABC: 2.64, NBC: 2.42, Fox: 1.87, CW: 382,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC: 0.6 rating/5 share, NBC and Fox: 0.3/ 3 each, CBS: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.0/ 0

ABC’s “The Bachelorette” (Viewers: #1 for the night: 3.06 million; A18-49: #1 for the night: 0.7 rating/6 share) easily dominated NBC’s competing “American Ninja Warrior” (Viewers: #3, 2.62 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3) in the Monday 8-10 p.m. ET block. But both reality series are certainly not what they used to be.

Airing out of “The Bachelorette” was recent entry “Claim to Fame”, which opposite repeats on CBS and NBC still sunk to 1.80 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#1) at 10 p.m.

Also original last night was Fox’s pairing of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” (Viewers: #4, 1.90 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and “Beat Shazam” (Viewers: #4, 1.83 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3 at 9 p.m.); and canceled CW dramas “Roswell, New Mexico” (Viewers: 434,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “In The Dark” (Viewers: 330,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.).
