The third Thursday in June had just three original network shows, with Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance?" dominating. 

"So You Think You Can Dance?" took the top spot for its finals edition, with a Nielsen 2.9 rating/9 share among 18-34 viewers. "Dance" was down 12% versus a week ago.

NBC's own reality effort at 8 p.m. had a better go of it. "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here" was a bit higher versus a week ago, earning a 1.8/7.

NBC didn't have such luck at the end of the evening. "The Listener" headed south by 30% to a 0.9/3.

As is its usual performance, CBS -- with repeats of its crime dramas, "NCIS," "CSI" and "The Mentalist" -- was the most economical of any network, performing well at a 1.6/5 among 18-49 viewers, good for second place to Fox.

Fox took the Thursday night overall win among 18-49 viewers -- with a 2.1/7. CBS was at a 1.6/5; Univision, a 1.4/5; NBC, a 1.3/4; ABC, a 0.6/2; the CW, a 0.4/2, and MyNetworkTV, a 0.3/1.

Fox also took top honors about younger viewers, 18-34, with a 1.8/7. Univision was a close second at a 1.5/6. Everyone else was at, or below, the one rating mark.
