Usually many cancelled shows will beat out reruns in the summer months. Often times, people are checking out the show for the first time as their favorites on summer break with reruns. I think this is how Family Guy was given a late revival. Also, timeslots change also as well. Fox has done this several times with bringing back cancelled shows to fill slots during the summer months along with UPN. A show had to do extremely bad for UPN not to burn off episodes or use it as filler for summer.

So what is your point? Other than NFL football, Walter Cronkite's show and NBC magazine, the rest of those shows were more than likey reruns. That is what is shown in the summer: RERUNS. Maybe fans were not into a rerun and wanted to check out something new.

No, you posted that Checking In "beat these other shows too" so you are obviously trying to show that this show did well in the ratings.
