Preliminary Ratings: Friday 03/31/2017

The last day of March, 2017 featured four season finales, two from ABC and one each from FOX and NBC. LAST MAN STANDING ended its 6th season, with six million viewers and a 1.0 rating in Adults 18-49. that is on par with the season average for the comedy. Following, was DR. KENS second season finale, dropping roughly 30% of the lead in audience.

Over on FOX, the season/series finale of SLEEPY HOLLOW when out with a whimper, posting the lowest numbers of the night, from a BIG 4 network. The series has 62 episodes in the can and I don not expect a 63rd to ever be made.

GRIMM's finale episode was second in its time slot, collecting 4.3 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in Adults 18-49. like the other three finales on the night, the last episode of GRIMM drew ratings around its season average.

CBS was the top network of the night, as its regular Friday night line up is back, after two weeks of March Madness basketball preempting the night. CBS won each hour of the night, in each reported category. BLUE BLOODS was #1 in all demographics and had the most total viewers.
