Reruns dominated schedules across the networks last week as no one wanted to compete with NBC's last week of Olympics coverage.
NBC topped every night last week with Olympics coverage, while the numbers were low compared to the last winter games, still a respectable audience. In other news, the Peacock Network also announced the renewal of Superstore for next season, not at all a surprise, but still good news for fans.

@TonyMayhew, now you understand why there aren't ratings articles in the summer. :D
LA To Vegas is gonna be a hard call. It's ratings are really just OK, the bigger issue is the show is 30 minutes when so much of the FOX schedule outside of Sunday is 60 minute programs, so will there be room for it next season. In its favor it is produced by FOX and like I said the ratings haven't been bad, just not outstanding. Assuming it maintains the 0.8-0.9 it's been doing, it will probably get renewed. It can't afford to slip any though.
Oh, I have a question about LA to Vegas: do you think the ratings are well enough to be renewed? It's rather funny.
Love the FOX summary, HAHA! Of the new shows this season, 9-1-1 is my winner. Right from the very first episode, it has been very good. I look forward to the new eps :)
Am also a fan of Timeless, so was very happy (And a bit surprised) when I saw it had been renewed. I was sure it was dead after one season, especially when they did actually cancel it!
I will be happy to see season 2 of Timeless, I enjoyed the first season the show is a lot of fun. Deception looks interesting, will have to see how the magic is incorporated.
The previews for Living Biblically on CBS looks like it could be interesting. I'll probably watch a couple episodes to see how I like it.
