Demo Profile 2015 TUE.5 May

NBC:  THE VOICE continued its slide, down 0.3 from last Tuesday (and 0.6 from last year’s parallel night) to hit a negative milestone, falling to 1.9 for the first time.  The live 1-hour UNDATEABLE (which aired separate feeds on both coasts) managed to rise 0.1 to 1.3.  CHICAGO FIRE, airing against season finales on the other networks, held at 1.6.

ABC:  This week’s Tuesday DANCING WITH THE STARS special fell 0.3 from last week’s to 1.4, then AGENTS OF SHIELD held at 1.5.  The FOREVER season finale was up 0.1 to 1.1.

CBS:  NCIS stayed at 2.0, and NCIS NEW ORLEANS lost 0.1 to 1.6.  The season finale of PERSON OF INTEREST dropped 0.3 from last week to hit a series low 1.1.

FOX:  After HELL’S KITCHEN gained 0.1 to 1.2, the season finale of NEW GIRL was up 0.1 to 1.1, and the almost certainly series finale of WEIRD LONERS remained at 0.6.

CW:  THE FLASH fell 0.1 to 1.4, and IZOMBIE held at 0.7.  Due to baseball preemptions, those numbers could shift in afternoon adjustments.

CRIMINAL MINDS has its season finale tonight.  In addition, NBC plays the guest star game with the return of Dann Florek to SVU.  All the networks continue to air fresh episodes.
