ABC:  The 2-hour ONCE UPON A TIME season finale (which actually ended the series as it currently stands) was at 0.9, which was up 0.1 from last week, but down 0.3 from the 2016 finale.  Embarrassingly, the finale was up only 0.1 from the clip show special that preceded it.  The night ended with MATCH GAME, down 0.2 from 2 weeks ago (a 9PM airing).

CBS:  After 60 MINUTES was up 0.1 to 1.0, the season finale of NCIS: LA was at 1.1, which was up 0.1 from last week, but down 0.2 from the 2016 finale (on a Monday).  MADAM SECRETARY (0.7) and ELEMENTARY (0.6) were steady.

NBC:  LITTLE BIG SHOTS (1.3) and the season finale of CHICAGO JUSTICE (1.1) were each up 0.1, and SHADES OF BLUE gained 0.2 to to 0.9.  The night started with a 0.7 LITTLE BIG SHOTS rerun.

FOX:  The MISS USA pageant fell 0.4 from last year to 0.8, although in 2016 it was a 3-hour telecast that aired in June.  The night began with 0.3/0.5 animated reruns.

Tonight’s finales include MAN WITH A PLAN and SCORPION on CBS, and ABC’s still-on-the-bubble QUANTICO.

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