Audiences may be shrinking now that the summer months are here in the world of prime time broadcast television but a new face on the landscape took a fast lead. That would be CBS’s new Keegan-Michael Key-hosted reality game show, Game On!. The series led in total viewers for the night (4.53 million) and tied for the top spot in the 18-49 demo (0.6) with the second airing of Fox’s summer reality competition series, Ultimate Tag.

The final season premiere of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to spark a big audience, coming in second in the 10 o’clock hour in total viewers (0.4) and third in total viewers (1.92 million) behind reruns of Chicago P.D. and S.W.A.T..
