Unfortunately for CW, good luck did not come in threes. Despite impressive debuts for Gossip Girl and 90210, the 11th cycle of America’s Next Top Model failed to impress. (In the show’s defense, it was pitted against stiff competition.) ANTM‘s performance gave FOX the chance to take over in the viewers and the demos.
8pm
- America’s Got Talent (10.2 million, 2.7/7 in 18-49) was Wednesday’s most watched show.
- The two-hour premiere of Bones (9.7 million, 3.3/9) had the night’s best demos.
- Greatest American Dog (1.4/4) retrieved 4.9 million.
- Wife Swap* (3.7 million, 1.3/4) did slightly better than last week.
- America’s Next Top Model (3.5 million, 1.7/5) had its lowest premiere numbers to date.

- Gossip Girl (CW, 8pm): Season 2 premiere. “Summer in the Hamptons winds down as Serena and Nate carry on a cover-up scheme to make others think they’re dating.” A few choice pics sent to Gossip Girl should do the trick.
- Prison Break (FOX, 8pm): Season 4 premiere. “Michael is in LA looking to even the score with Gretchen for Sara’s death.” I think Gretchen should really apologize for all of last season.
- One Tree Hill (CW, 9pm): Season 6 premiere. “Lucas’ chosen lady meets him at the airport, while Dan’s accident proves life-threatening.” Sorry. So not caring who Chad Michael Murray picks these days.
- Raising the Bar (TNT, 10pm): Series premiere. “Idealistic public defender Jerry Kellerman (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) fights for a man he’s sure is innocent, but holding a court is a judge who loathes Kellerman.” Gosselaar’s new hair has been generating some passionate opinions.

David Blaine’s Next Televised Stunt

He’s lived in a sphere, slept in a block of ice, fasted in a hoisted box and balanced on a tall platform. Now he’s prepared to turn his world upside-down. Literally.
Next month, street magician David Blaine will once again dazzle the residents of New York with another one of his famous endurance challenges. Armed with electro-magnetic boots, the daredevil will hang by his feet from a thin wire for approximately 60 hours. Although he’ll have the ability to walk around, he won’t be given a safety net should he fall. Did I mention that he’ll be doing this over Central Park’s Wollman Rink?

Let’s face it. Viewers probably weren’t watching Swingtown last night. So let’s just focus on the one event the world was glued to: the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Although a lot of controversy has surrounded this year’s games, the ratings - at least for the tape-delayed opening ceremony - surpassed expectations:
- Beijing’s opening day was the most-watched summer ceremony held outside the United States.
- The 2004 Athens games scored a 18.0 rating/30 share; Friday’s event earned a 21.5 rating/37 share.
- In comparison, the 1996 Atlanta games pulled in a 23.6/45 on its opening day.
NBC is planning up to 3600 hours of coverage through August 24.
