“Big Brother” on CBS dominated this first Thursday in July with a 3.9 rating/7 share at 9 p.m., leading CBS to overnight household victory for the evening. Nothing new of note is resonating on Thursday on the broadcast nets, including “Boy Band,” and the revivals of “The Battle of the Network Stars” and “The Gong Show” on ABC. Both “Love Connection” and “Beat Shazam” on Fox were in repeats last night. Also failing to impress is the new season of CBS scripted drama “Zoo,” which dipped to third at 10 p.m. with a 1.9/ 3.
