THE MIDDLE had a fair send-off.
DEMOGRAPHIC DETAIL: For each broadcast program (or hour segment), the chart below displays preliminary key advertiser demographics (adult 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54 ratings), audience skews (women 18-49, men 18-49 and adults 50+ shares) and total viewership (thousands of people over the age of 2).
Ratings analysis and comparisons follow the chart.
ABC: The season finale of ROSEANNE dropped 0.2 to tie its (rebooted) series low 2.4. The series finale of THE MIDDLE averaged 1.7 for its back-to-back half-hours, which was up 0.2 from last week, and also up half a point from the 2017 finale, which led off that night. The season finale of SPLITTING UP TOGETHER, despite its sharply higher lead-in, stayed at 1.0, and the season finale of FOR THE PEOPLE held at 0.5.
NBC: After a 1.1 clip show, the season finale of THE VOICE was up 0.1 from last week to 1.5, but that was down 0.4 from the 2017 finale, a season finale low for the series.
CBS: The season finale of NCIS was down 0.1 from last week to 1.2, which was also down 0.3 from the 2017 finale. Reruns at 0.7/0.5 followed.
CW: The season finale of THE FLASH was up 0.1 from last week to 0.8, but that was down 0.3 from last year’s finale. THE 100 was steady at 0.3.
FOX: A run of the movie HANCOCK was at 0.5.
Tonight marks the official end of the 2017-18 broadcast TV season, a date that doesn’t have as much significance as it used to. Remaining finales include SURVIVOR, SVU, EMPIRE and STAR.
COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR NIGHTS: Preliminary adult 18-49 ratings versus the same night last year and same night last week.
