There were very few ratings fireworks among syndicated shows in the traditionally low viewing Fourth of July holiday session ending July 7.
Making matters more difficult, some shows were in competition with or bounced out of their time slots by the popular FIFA Women's World Cup semi finals, which aired on Fox July 2 and on cable July 3.
Arguably having the toughest time were the sitcoms. Warner Bros. leader The Big Bang Theory hit the worst weekly numbers in its 8-year run in syndication, cooling down 10% from its prior orbit to a new series low 3.6 live plus same day national rating, according to Nielsen. Twentieths Last Man Standing slumped 5% to a 2.1. Twentieths Modern Family fell 6% to a new all time low 1.6. Sony Pictures Televisions The Goldbergs remained at its series low 1.3 for a third straight week. Warner Bros. Two and a Half Men moved down 14% to a 1.2, matching its series low and tying Twentieths Family Guy, which stayed at its season low 1.2. Disneys rookie black-ish broke even at a 1.1. SPTs Seinfeld avoided shrinkage, staying at a 1.0. And Warner Bros. Mike & Molly tumbled 10% to a 0.9, tying Warner Bros. 2 Broke Girls, which was unchanged at a 0.9.

Elsewhere in off-net syndication, true crime paid for NBCUniversals leader Dateline, which witnessed its strip shooting up 9% to a 1.2 and its category-topping weekly version surging 29% to a 3.1. SPTs off-A&E Live PD: Police Patrol was on par with its prior tour at a 1.1, while off Investigation Discoverys True Crime Files uncovered a flat 0.3. The sole scripted hour-long strip in syndication, NBCUs off-net police procedural newcomer Chicago PD, gave back 11% to a 0.8.
In first run, the survey said Debmar-Mercurys Family Feud led for a fourth consecutive week, although it sagged 7% to a 5.7. CTDs Jeopardy!, which has been without super contestant and major draw James Holzhauer since June 3, lost ground for the fifth week in a row, sliding 9% to a new season low 5.1 but still came in second among the game shows. CTDs Wheel of Fortune skidded 10% to a new season low 4.7. Further back, Disneys canceled Who Wants to Be a Millionaire went into the red, shedding 7% to a new season low 1.4 and Entertainment Studios Funny You Should Ask didn't question a 0.5 for the 17th week in a row.

Meanwhile, Disneys viral video show RightThisMinute downticked 8% to a 1.1.
Magazines were also mostly lower. CTDs Inside Edition surrendered 11% to a new season low 2.4, finishing just ahead of sister show Entertainment Tonight, which eased 8% to a 2.3. Warner Bros. TMZ was flat at a 1.1. NBCUs Access relinquished 9% to a 1.0. Warner Bros. Extra backtracked 11% to a new season low 0.8, tying CTDs DailyMailTV, which aired repackaged shows all week and also yielded 11% to a 0.8.
Twentieths Page Six TV held its ground at a 0.5 and Trifectas Celebrity Page deteriorated 33% from a 0.3 to a 0.2.
Turning to daytime, which bore the brunt of the soccer preemptions, CTDs Judge Judy, presiding over the household ratings season to date, continued to dominate the court show category an historic 1,189th week in a row despite being partly in reruns and dipping 5% to a 5.6. CTDs Hot Bench, in repeats for most of the week, stood fast at a 2.0 and ranked as the No. 3 show in daytime behind only Judy and CTDs talk topper Dr. Phil.

Warner Bros. People's Court recovered 8% to a 1.3. Warner Bros. Judge Mathis maintained a 0.9 for a third straight appearance, while Twentieths Divorce Court settled for an unchanged 0.6.
In talk show action, Dr. Phil had the right medicine to lead the genre for the 148th straight week with five ties, even though it was in repeats on all five days and backed off 4% to a new season low 2.2. Among women 25-54, the Phil reruns were again first in talk with a 0.9 in the key demo.
Returning to households, Disneys on-hiatus Live With Kelly and Ryan, which did not air live at all, took second place honors in talk for the 19th consecutive week with two pre-taped and three repackaged shows, holding steady at a 1.9. Warner Bros. Ellen DeGeneres, with encore episodes, stumbled 19% to a new season low 1.3. NBCUs Maury remained mired at its season low 1.2 for a fifth week in a row. NBCUs Steve slipped 10% to a new series low 0.9, tying NBCUs Steve Wilkos, CTDs Rachael Ray, and the retitled repeats of Debmar-Mercurys Wendy Williams, renamed Wendy Williams World Cup, which were all flat at a 0.9. SPTs Dr. Oz hemorrhaged 11% to a 0.8, matching its series low. The diagnosis for CTDs The Doctors was also a series low, in this case 0.5 for an eighth straight week. Warner Bros. The Real ratcheted down 20% to a new series low 0.4, tying Disneys Pickler & Ben, which bagged a 0.4 for the 24th consecutive week and NBCUs out-of-production Jerry Springer, which stagnated at a 0.4 for the 43rd week in a row.
Among the freshman, CTDs canceled Face the Truth was faced with a season low 0.6 for a fourth straight week. While Debmar-Mercurys renewed rookie court show Caught in Providence captured a 0.5, which was consistent with its previous case.
In addition, the July 15 premiere of the six week test run for comedy game show Punchline got socked with a 33% decline from its lead-ins to a 0.4 rating/1 share weighted metered market average on select Fox stations, although it was flat compared to its year-ago time periods.
