I wonder if the All Star game had any affect on last night’s show?
Good question. Doesn’t seem like it since ASG viewership was down and has continued to fall in recent years. Seems like the Derby has more pop than the ASG these days. [JC]
A fall was expected in viewership after last week. Not surprised. Still pretty good and placing within the 100 cable shows is excellent for a second consecutive week in a row.
If a show like Impact is entertaining, we watch. My wife, our two grandkids and myself enjoyed it. That’s what matters. PS great site.
