At 8 PM, ABC did have the #1 show of the night, as SHARK TANK dominated the night in the demographic ratings, doubling up its nearest competition in the A18-34 demo and close to that in the A18-49 demographic.

The series finale of EMERALD CITY ended on a soft not, with under three million total viewers and loosing to an encore of HAWAII FIVE-O, in the 9 PM hour. NBC should have stuck to its original 2014 cancellation of the project, as it drew very little interest from viewers.
