It was a typical summer Monday with 3.44 million viewers for NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” from 8-10 p.m. ET the most-watched show. Competing “The Bachelor” in Paradise” on ABC led the evening in adults 18-49 with a 0.8 rating/6 share in the demo (and 3.22 million viewers). “American Ninja Warrior” scored a 0.5/ 4 in the demo.

At 10 p.m., summer dud “The Ultimate Surfer” on ABC lived up to that descriptor with just 1.39 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3/ 2 (#2) in adults 18-49 at 10 p.m. Surfs down, apparently! Competing game show “The Wall” on NBC led the hour with a still lackluster 2.47 million viewers and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo.

In season finale news, Fox’s animated Monday 9-10 p.m. pairing of “Housebroken” (Viewers: #4, 977,000; A18-49: #3t, 0.3/ 2) and “Duncanville” (Viewers: #4, 706,000; A18-49: #3t, 0.2/ 1) were barely visible. Lead-in “Hell’s Kitchen” was stronger with 2.49 million viewers (#4) and a 0.6/ 5 in adults 18-49 (#2) in the 8 p.m. hour.

Elsewhere, The CW remained locked in fifth place with its pairing of dramas “Roswell, New Mexico” (Viewers: 660,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “The Republic of Sarah” (Viewers: 329,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.). And CBS was in all repeats.
