FOX premiered the second season of Accused last week. The sophomore series premiered down from its finale in May. Murder in a Small Town picked up a couple hundred thousand viewers. Rescue HI-Surf lost a couple hundred thousand viewers. Universal Basic Guys is holding its own with the Sunday animation block. Without the NFL assist, all four shows were down last week. FOX execs might be regretting that quick season three renewal for Krapopolis. The show struggled through most of its freshman season, and the situation has not improved.

CBS was still holding fire on most of its premieres last week. That will change this week as the network finally opens the season for its scripted content.

The Summit moved to its regular night behind Survivor and lost a million viewers in the process. Chances are the series will not last. The 60 Minutes special with Vice President Kamala Harris pulled good numbers.
