CBS put fans of The Equaliser out of their misery, announcing late last week that the show was, in fact, cancelled. Its final episode aired Sunday night. Poppa's House wrapped its lone season last week, down a few tens of thousands of viewers. NCIS: Origins closed out its freshman season even with the previous week. Parent, NCIS was down eight hundred thousand viewers, but that was still enough to claim the top spot for scripted dramas. Tracker was even. Georgie & Mandie's First Marriage was down three hundred thousand viewers last week. Watson was up about one hundred thousand viewers.

ABC premiered two of its summer game shows last week. Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy! Masters opened about where they ended last season. Fans of Doctor Odyssey were still waiting for the other shoe to drop last week. After taking a week off, the show lost another four hundred thousand viewers. The series has two episodes left. Fans should probably enjoy them, as the show is likely cancelled. 9-1-1 picked up one million viewers after dropping a major bombshell and taking a week off for the NFL Draft. Will Trent was up half a million viewers. The Rookie was even.

NBC wrapped St Denis Medical last week. The comedy was up a few tens of thousands of viewers and was one of the few bright spots for the network's freshman scripted content this season. At the other end of the spectrum, the network's latest attempt at a competition show, Yes, Chef! opened with abysmal numbers. Suits LA went sub one million in viewers, losing another four hundred thousand sets of eyeballs. Any hope fans had that the show might squeak a renewal has likely faded. 

LATE BREAKING: NBC announced renewals for the OneChicago shows Monday afternoon. All three shows are renewed, however the episode counts for each show will likely be reduced.

The Cleaning Lady and Alert: Missing Persons Unit bounced back last week. The Cleaning Lady was up two hundred thousand viewers. Alert: Missing Persons Unit was up several tens of thousands
