Big Brother and So You Think You Can Dance showed summer reality is as stable a staple as ever, even on a night when the network audience was relatively small.

Someone should cancel Private Practice and give it’s talented actors something better written, so they could shine. Tim Daly, Audra McDonald and Amy Brenneman deserve much better.
