Ratings Breakdown:
CBS won the evening in the household overnights care of two encore telecasts of granddaddy “60 Minutes” in the 7-9 p.m. ET block. But two-hour ABC special, “,” got some early summer traction with a 3.4/ 6 from 8-10 p.m. The peak half-hour, not surprisingly, was 9:30 p.m. (#1: 4.6/ 8), which was 64 percent above the 8 p.m. hour and 28 percent above the 9 p.m. half-hour.

Elsewhere, the CBS telecast of CBS All Access drama “The Good Fight” led the 10 p.m. hour with a 2.8/ 5 in households. Legal drama “Burden of Truth” was unnoticed on The CW with a 0.4/ 1 in the 8 p.m. hour.
