The highest-rated broadcast network scripted shows this summer are mainly CBS procedurals in repeat,
with the top two being CSI (averaging 9.9 million live-plus seven-day DVR viewers) and NCIS (8.9 million). NBC's Law &
Order: SVU is averaging 8.4 million viewers and Fox's House 6.6 million viewers. ABC's scripted shows, most of them serialized,
have not traditionally performed well in summer repeats. For example, Grey's Anatomy is averaging just 3.8 million viewers,
only 16 percent of its regular season total viewership of 23.9 million.
The one-solid scripted
performer in repeat on NBC has been Law & Order: SVU, drawing 60 percent of its regular-season audience this summer. On
Fox, its best regular season scripted performer is House, drawing just 32 percent of its regular-season viewership. (Fox,
only down 2 percent in viewership compared to last summer, is being helped by its reality slate.)
