Also original last night was recent Fox entry “Superhuman,” which dipped to a series low 1.5/ 2 from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that was 35 percent below the 2.3/ 4 for lead-in “So You Think You Can Dance.”

At 10 p.m., NBC reality/competition “Spartan: Ultimate Team Challenge” dropped by 40 percent in households from lead-in “American Ninja Warrior,” with a 2.1/ 4.
