TV Ratings: Sunday August 23, 2020

CBS's 'Big Brother: All-Stars' again led the Sunday primetime broadcast ratings across the demos, winning among adults 18-49 (1.0/6), adults 18-34 (0.6/6), and adults 25-54 (1.4/7). In total viewers (4.117 million) it ranked second behind ABC's '20/20: The Ticket' special (0.7/4, 5.107 million). A rerun of 'America's Funniest Videos' (0.9/6, 4.7 million) also brought in strong numbers for ABC and actually beat out 'Big Brother' among men 18-49 (1.0/7) and men 25-54 (1.4/7) by a tenth & two-tenths respectively; 'Brother' led all programming among both women 18-49 (1.2/7) & women 25-54 (0.9/4). Elsewhere in primetime, NBC had decent numbers with coverage of the 'NHL Playoffs' between the Bruins & Lightning (0.5/3, 1.789 million) and delivered its best numbers in men 25-54 (1.0/5) & men 18-49 (0.7/5). Finally, the CW remained low with 'Fridge Wars' (0.1/0, 334,000). The most viewed program on the day was a rerun of CBS's '60 Minutes' (7.225 million). 

Outside of primetime, ABC's afternoon 'NBA Basketball' game between the Clippers & Mavericks (3.31 million viewers) actually led the entire day in adults 18-34 (0.8 rating) & men 18-49 (12 share), tied 'Big Brother' in 18-49s (1.0), and tied 'Videos' for second in 25-54 (1.2). Also of note, NBC aired the 'Indianapolis 500' to modest numbers in both 18-49 (0.5 rating) and viewers (3.669 million). It had an 8 share in people over 50, a 5 share in men 18-49, and a 3 share in women.

Top programs on the spanish-language nets:
-Univision: 'Quien Es La Mascara' (645,000 18-49, 1.704 million total)
-Unimas: 'Liga MX: Toluca/Chivas Guadalajara' (242,000 18-49, 460,000 total)
-Telemundo: 'Exation Estados Unidos' (409,000 18-49, 1.081 million total)

On the cable side, the numbers from the third season finale of Paramount's 'Yellowstone' are in and have solidified its place as cable's next hit program. The finale delivered series-best numbers among both adults 18-49 (0.92 rating) and total viewers (5.158 million). It also ranked second on the day in men 18-49 (1.00 rating), and led in adults 25-54 (1.38), people over 50 (3.38), and people over 55 (3.48). Although these numbers are certainly incredible in this current television sphere, it is important to emphasize that this is a fairly old-skewing show and only 1.196 million of its 5+ million viewers were within the key 18-49 demo. In comparison, when AMC's 'Breaking Bad' broke the 5 million mark for the first time (5.11 million on Sept. 8, 2013), 3.28 million of those were in the demo (2.6 rating).

TLC's '90 Day Fiance: Happy Ever After?' led the night among adults 18-49 (0.98), women 18-49 (1.32), adults 18-34 (0.70), and females 12-34 (0.89). Lead-out 'Darcey & Stacey' also pulled solid numbers in those female demos (0.63 & 0.37 respectively) as did 'Pillow Talk' at 11pm (0.55 & 0.35). Bravo's 'Real Housewives of Potomac' was a bit behind though (0.40 in W18-49). 

Quick sports ratings update (men 18-49 rating/males 12-34/total viewers):
-NBA - Nuggets/Jazz: 1.12/0.70/1.9 million (ranked #1 in both demos)
-NBA - Raptors/Nets: 0.82/0.54/1.45 million (ranked #2 in M12-34, #3 in M18-49)
-MLB - Phillies/Braves: 0.40/0.21/1.1 million
-NHL - Canucks/Golden Knights: 0.19/0.12/398,000

Elsewhere, week two of HBO's 'Lovecraft Country' was identical with last week's premiere in the demo (0.23 rating), and rose more than 100K viewers to 867,000. Its lead-out, the premiere of 'The Vow,' didn't fare nearly as well, averaging just 0.07 with 342,000 viewers. Closing out the night for HBO was 'Last Week Tonight' which logged its usual strong numbers (823,000). 

In finales, Showtime's 'The Chi' (382,000) closed out its third season, AMC's 'NOS4A2' (353,000) finished up its second, and the Freeform's 'Love in the Time of Corona' finished low (217,000 & 134,000).
