ABC: 3.36 million, NBC: 3.00, CBS: 2.90, Fox: 2.13, CW: 0.1/ 1

Adults 18-49:
CBS and NBC: 0.7 rating/6 share each, Fox: 0.5/ 4, ABC: 0.4/ 3, CW: 0.1/ 1

In season premiere news, a 90-minute installment of summer CBS mainstay “Big Brother” returned with 4.00 million viewers (#1) and a 1.0 rating/8 share in adults 18-49 from 8-9:30 p.m. Comparably, that should be more than enough for “Big Brother” to finish as the top-rated regularly scheduled series for the week in the demo. But the season opening episode of “Love Island”, also 90-minutes, dipped to a mere 1,80 million viewers and a 0.4/ 3 in adults 18-49 from 9:30-11 p.m.

In season-finale news, “Card Sharks” on ABC concluded with 2.63 million viewers (#2) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#2t) at 10 p.m. The lead-in, “The $100,000 Pyramid”, was stronger at 3.77 million viewers (#1) and a 0.5/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#3) at 9 p.m.

On NBC, game 5 of “The Stanley Cup Finals”, Montreal at Tampa Bay, scored an estimated 3.00 million viewers (#2) and a 0.7/ 6 in the demo (#1t) for the night.

Elsewhere, Fox featured “MasterChef” (Viewers: #4, 2,43 million; A18-49: #4, 0.5/ 4 at 8 p.m.) and “Crime Scene Kitchen” (Viewers: #4, 1.83 million; A18-49: #4, 0.4/ 3). And The CW remained in the distant No. 5 spot care of “Kung Fu” (Viewers: 835,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “In The Dark” (Viewers: 432,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.).
