Ratings: Broadcast Finals for May 21, 2013

ABC easily wins Tuesdays in total viewers, but is just edged by NBC in the A18-49 demographic ratings.

DANCING WITH THE STARS posts its best numbers of the season, since the spring premiere, posting 15.2 million viewers and a 2.7 demo rating. It rose 3.3 million viewers and 50% in the demo, from last Tuesdays telecast. The veteran reality series may be down, but it knows how to close out a season right.

THE VOICE was the nights top program in the A18-49 ratings, with a 3.2, but like recent weeks, it was down another 9% from the previous week. Is the falling ratings due to lack of interest/burnout from the series or is it a late season show format that bores viewers?

Getting just 5 million viewers and a 1.7 demo rating for its season finale, GRIMM displays why it is and should always be a Friday night series.
