On Monday night, ABC saw the best summer scripted premiere so far this summer. First up, The Bachelorette was up 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week, which aired on Memorial Day and at 9pm. At 10pm, the series premiere of The Whispers delivered a solid 5.7 million viewers and 1.5 demo. This result topped recent scripted premieres including Wayward Pines and Aquarius, but it also had a much stronger lead-in. Still, it was a solid launch for a show that didn't get a lot of promotion or attention. Elsewhere, American Ninja Warrior topped the night and was up a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's season premiere. However, week two of The Island looked less impressive. It was down a tenth in viewers and the demo despite the better lead-in. Finally, FOX had the season premiere of So You Think You Can Dance and it couldn't really compete with Bachelorette or Ninja Warrior. It had a serviceable 1.3 demo, but this show is clearly past its prime.
