'Circus' Dips, 'Dance' Wins

June 19, 2008 10:47 AM

So You Think You Can Dance NBC’s “Celebrity Circus” slipped off its tightrope act week-to-week, dropping 13% in the ratings from last week’s fair debut, but sealed up a second-place finish for the Peacock Wednesday.

“Circus” ended up with a 2.0 rating/6 share in the 18- to 49-year-old rating demographic, according to preliminary Nielsen ratings. “Deal or No Deal” (2.1/7) dropped a tick from last week. NBC ended the night with a 2.1/6.

Fox (3.2/10) handily led the night with “So You Think You Can Dance” (3.2/10), which fell 6% from last week’s showing.

The rest of the pack aired repeats, with the pecking order as ABC (1.7/5), CBS (1.6/5) and The CW (0.7/2).
