-Ratings Breakdown:
There was not much to say on this first Friday in August, with NBC first in households, CBS the most-watched network (with just over 5-million viewers), and three networks -- CBS, NBC and the CW -- tied for first among adults 18-49. You know something is up when the CW dominates in the demo.

CBS’ relocated Swingtown continues to flounder at 10 p.m., with just 4.33 million viewers (#3) and a 1.3/ 4 among adults 18-49 (#2). Needless to say, the axe is about to swing. Earlier in the evening on CBS were repeats of Ghost Whisperer (Viewers: #1: 4.97 million; A18-49: #1: 1.2/ 5) and Numb3rs (Viewers: #1 and the most-watched show of the evening, 5.97 million; A18-49: #2, 1.3/ 5) from 8-10 p.m. Does anyone really think upcoming Friday 9 p.m. romantic dramedy The Ex List will succeed out of Ghost Whisperer and into Numb3rs? I personally don’t.

NBC aired back-to-back repeats of the inane Most Outrageous Moments (Viewers: #2, avg. 4.09 million; A18-49: #4t, avg. 0.9/ 4 from 8-9 p.m.) and a two-hour edition of Dateline (Viewers: 5.54 million; A18-49: 1.4/ 5 from 9-11 p.m.). You know it’s the summer when you see a two-hour edition of Dateline pop up.

A repeat of theatrical Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events on ABC’s The Wonderful World of Disney was fourth in both total viewers (3.46 million viewers) and adults 18-49 (1.1/ 4) from 8-10 p.m., leading into veteran 20/20 at just 4.34 million viewers (#2) and a 1.1/ 4 in the demo (#3) at 10 p.m. Can anyone remember the last time ABC aired something original on The Wonderful World of Disney?

The CW’s soon-to-relocate Friday Night Smackdown! tied for first overall for the evening among adults 18-49, despite averaging a below average 1.2/ 5 in the demo. Total viewership was third, with 3.98 million.

Last, and very least, was repeat theatrical Fog on Fox at a mere 2.57 million viewers and a 0.9/ 3 among adults 18-49 from 8-10 p.m.
