Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 05/06/14

The two FXO comedies series had their season finales on Tuesday night, drawing just 2.5 million viewers for the 9 p.m. hour. But, the combination of NEW GIRL and THE MINDY PROJECT did beat the ABC comedies, in the A18-49 ratings, 1.3 to 1.0, during the hour. They also came close to topping the two NBC comedies, which they may still do, once the final ratings are released later today. This is the best ratings for THE MINDY PROJECT, since it's return, on April 1st.

NCIS came very close to beating THE VOICE in the A18-49 ratings. The crime drama collected a 2.3 rating in Adults 18-49, while THE VOICE pulled in a 2.4 rating. Both shows are also the top programs of the night. NCIS with the most viewers (15.7 million) and THE VOICE in demo ratings (2.4).

The heavily hyped STAR WARS episode of THE GOLDBERGS did nothing to pump the ratings. In fact, the series lost 700K in total viewers and was down 24% in the demo numbers, from last week's episode. The Force is not strong in this series.
