NBC was back on top with fireworks (and reruns). CBS's fireworks barely did better than ABC's Final Witness, which fell three tenths an amazing 50% in its second week. Four New Girl reruns averaged 0.6 for FOX.

PBS's live fireworks show averaged nearly a million more viewers than CBS's, but nearly two million less than NBC's.
