Preliminary Ratings: Friday 04/25/14

The LAST MAN STANDING season finale drew 5.9 million viewers and a 1.3 rating in Adults 18-49. A slight improvement from the previous week. But, that is a considerable drop from last year's finale of 7.8 million viewers and a 1.6 demo rating. But, if you remember, LAST MAN STANDING ended it's season in late March, when viewership is higher. The series is still a good fit for the night and will be back for a 4th season.

One interesting note of the led out repeat of LAST MAN STANDING, is that it's retention and raw numbers are considerably better than what THE NEIGHBORS has been getting this season.

Although it is still 4th place on the night, KITCHEN NIGHTMARES is a vast improvement over most of what FOX has scheduled on the night in recent years. The two recent sitcoms are usually 40 to 50 percent less than the reality series, and RAKE was just horrid in the early time slot.

The numbers for the CW look to be inflated by local preemptions. The original episode of WHOSE LINE is up about 26% from last week, in total viewers. Expect the final numbers, released on Monday, to come down.
