Strong 'Modern Family' and 'Survivor' Top Night, 'Suburgatory' Falls

CBS had preemptions and delays thanks to ACC and SEC basketball in some markets, so Survivor (and other shows) could see their scores change.

Monday hasn´t been good for CBS at least this last season as I remember Hostages didn´t work it was 3rd place and now the same with Intelligence. mmm sounds like some Intelligence work is really needed there to find a show to compete on Monday.

As for Talent, the night's (and, thus far, the summer's) top program pulled a 2.8 rating in the key demo. That's down two-tenths of a point from last week's premiere.
Off by the same measure was ABC's Extreme Weight Loss (1.1 adults). Week two of the unscripted series led into a slightly lifted finale of Celebrity Wife Swap (1.4 adults).

Riot (0.4 adults) dropped another two-tenths of a point on Fox. It matched a steady and low I Wanna Marry Harry.

Over on The CW, another summer reality debut fared similarly poorly. Famous in 12 (0.3 adults) launched shy of even last summer's comparable effort, Capture.
