NBC's repeat of The Singing Bee remained in key Wednesday night while the premiere of Fox's Don't Forget the Lyrics! at least carried a tune.
Bee, hosted by Dancing with the Stars runnerup Joey Fatone, lured 107,400 D-FW homes after the previous night's premiere hit a summertime jackpot with 252,280 homes opposite Fox's baseball All-Star game. That's not bad for an instant rerun, with Bee running a competitive third at 7:30 p.m. in total homes and taking second among advertiser-craved 18-to-49-year-olds.
At 8:30 p.m., Fox's very like-minded Don't Forget the Lyrics! opened with 114,240 homes to finish fourth in its time slot. But the Wayne Brady-hosted sing-a-long improved to a second-place finish with 18-to-49-year-olds. It also drew larger audiences in both measurements than Fox's preceding So You Think You Can Dance.
The night's overall top draw, ABC's The Next Best Thing, had 190,400 homes in its pocket.
In the local news derby, Belo8 won at 10 p.m. in total homes, but NBC5 countered with the top score among 25-to-54-year-olds, the main advertiser target audience for news programming.
Fox4 retained its punch at 6 a.m. with twin wins while the Peacock had a rare two-pronged win at 5 p.m.
Belo8 took first place in homes at 6 p.m., and tied NBC5 for the top spot among 25-to-54-year-olds.
