Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 05/10/15
CBS and ABC split the Mother's Day network ratings. CBS was the most watched network, four of the five most watched programs of the night, while ABC took the two demographic categories, with the four top shows in A18-49 demo and the top three in the A25-54 demographicONCE UPON A TIME, the top show in each demographic ratings, ended its season on a bit of a thud. It failed to draw over a two in either demo rating and it has been weeks since it pulled in more than six million viewers. We'll see if season Five is the last for Storybrook.
The REVENGE Series finale did grow, from week-to week, in the A18-49 ratings, but it clearly shows why the series is done. The loss of nearly 25% in the demo, on a good week, is not acceptable anymore.
The sixth season finale of THE GOOD WIFE was a distant second, in the A18-49 demo, tied with the FOX comedies. It was the most watched program of the night, with over nine million viewers. It would not surprise me if TGW moved to Friday nights, for season seven.
The last Finale, was from THE LAST MAN ON EARTH, on FOX. the mid-season series did just as well as the other three comedies, despite having another repeat episode of FAMILY GUY as its lead in.
NBC was only a factor in the ratings because of PGA golf overrun, at 7 p.m. Otherwise, it would have been fourth, behind FOX, in each of the two demographic ratings.
