Fast Demo 2017 May 15.MON

ABC:  DANCING WITH THE STARS fell 0.1 to 1.4, while at least in preliminary numbers, the season finale of QUANTICO rose 0.1 to a still-awful 0.6.

CBS:  The season finale of MAN WITH A PLAN aired between 1.1 BIG BANG THEORY reruns and couldn’t match them, steady with last week at 1.0.  After a 1.0 KEVIN CAN WAIT rerun, the season finale of SCORPION was up 0.1 to 1.2, although that was down a big 0.4 from the 2016 finale (which aired at 9PM).

NBC:  THE VOICE dropped 0.1 to 1.8, and THE WALL was down 0.1 to 1.0.

FOX:  GOTHAM and LUCIFER will both be leading off nights in the fall, and neither showed much zest, each falling 0.1 to a respective 0.9 and 0.8.

CW:  SUPERGIRL flew 0.1 lower to 0.5, and JANE THE VIRGIN crashed by 0.2 to 0.2.

Tonight’s finales include CHICAGO FIRE on NBC, both NCIS shows on CBS, and the entire ABC line-up.

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
