ABC was on top on Thursday with Game 2 of the NBA Finals which was on par with Game 1 on Tuesday night. FOX was also new from 8-9pm with So You Think You Can Dance which was down 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's premiere as the NBA Finals was certainly tougher competition. The only other new show was the series premiere of the long-delayed Love Bites which premiered to a pitiful 2.6 million viewers and 1.0 demo. When a show gets pushed back as long as this did, it's usually doomed but these numbers confirm that. NBC will probably let the show run its course this summer though as they did last summer with 100 Questions.
