Tuesday saw a premiere on NBC and more of the same new summer shows elsewhere. The premiere of the game show It's Worth What? kicked things off on NBC. While its debut wasn't overly impressive, it did have to be a self starter so it's not a horrible number. If it can hold near these numbers, NBC will take it. It's surprising they didn't launch it after America's Got Talent. Talent aired at 9pm and was down a rough 2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo, which is a surprising drop. What is starting to happen to this show? ABC had a new 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show which was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low. The novelty of this show appears to be wearing off quickly. It was followed by Combat Hospital which was up a tenth in viewers and even n the demo. CBS had reruns from 8-10pm but they posted some of their best numbers this summer. A Tuesday edition of 48 Hours Mystery didn't do much at 10pm. FOX aired the Tuesday premiere of Hell's Kitchen which won the 8pm hour in the demo. MasterChef at 9pm was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from its last Tuesday airing two weeks ago.
