Ratings: Broadcast Finals for May 13, 2013

NBC is still #1 on Monday nights, but it was the only one, of the Big 4, down in the rating, from week-to-week.

THE VOICE and REVOLUTION both saw ratings drop from last week by a combined 7% in viewers and 9% in the A18-49 ratings. Neither series need worry as both are returning next season, but REVOLUTION will move to 8 p.m. on Wednesday nights.

CBS was up 8% in viewers and 14% in the demo, from last week. All the comedies were up, despite an encore of THE BIG BANG THEORY at 8:30. H50 was down slightly, making the uptick from the comedies, that much stronger.

ABC was mostly flat from last week, but CASTLE did have a boost in the ratings by 3%. It is noe easily winning the time slot in both viewers and demo ratings. Considering the competition, and the fact that CBS was up from last week, ABC did well remaining flat.

FOX had nowhere to go but up, after the RIHANNA special last week. A double dose of Gordon Ramsey usually is a good cure to rock bottom ratings. In the 8 p.m. hour, HELL'S KITCHEN improved the time slot by 153% in viewers and 157% in the demo rating. For the night, a double-shot of HK improved FOX Monday night by 90% in viewers and 157% in the demo rating.

Lastly, and we do mean least... The CW bid farewell to 90210 with a two-hour series finale. Unfortunately, no one really cared. Just 570,000 viewers, nationwide, to watch the the franchise end for a second time. Hopefully, for viewers sake, there will never, ever be a third installment.
