Your show won, if you don't count the shows that beat it.

This year's final game of the NBA Finals rated 7.6. Saving Hope fell two tenths to a pathetic 0.5. Justin Bieber lost a tenth from yesterday. BBT and 2 Broke Girls repeated pretty well.

Programming Notes

Devious Maids, a series ABC rejected after viewing its pilot, has been picked up by Lifetime for 13 episodes.

NBC will offer 242 hours of Olympic coverage in 3D, but only 173 total hours in Spanish, on Telemundo and mun2.

Forgotten Science Channel Programming

Thanks to a live journal blog, I have excavated some information about Faces of Earth, which reran on Tuesday morning on Science, as well as in March.

A contributor to the four-part miniseries, Scott B. Jaqua, was kind enough to post the premiere dates, back in 2007:

Building the Planet: Monday July 23rd at 9pm

Shaping the Planet: Thursday, July 26th at 9pm

Assembling America: Thursday August 2nd at 10pm

A Human World: Thursday August 9th at 10pm
