Viewers seem to feel like the broadcast season can’t end soon enough.

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.

Demo Profile 2015 WED.6 May

ABC:  THE MIDDLE dropped 0.3 to 1.7, and THE GOLDBERGS fell 0.2 to 1.9.  MODERN FAMILY held at 2.9, and the best news of the evening was that BLACK-ISH rose 0.3 to 2.3.  NASHVILLE slipped 0.1 to 1.2.

CBS:  SURVIVOR and the season finale of CRIMINAL MINDS were both down 0.1, to 2.1 and 1.9 respectively.  CSI: CYBER held at 1.2, but that’s its ratings low point.

NBC:  Bubble show THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA returned from a week off down 0.1 to 0.9.  That was a success story, though, compared to SVU and CHICAGO PD, which were coming off last week’s high-rated crossover event:  SVU plunged 0.9 to 1.2, and CHICAGO PD fell 0.4 to 1.4, series lows for both.

FOX:  AMERICAN IDOL lost 0.1 to 1.5.

CW:  ARROW and SUPERNATURAL both held at last week’s 0.9/0.7.

Next Thursday will bring an avalanche of season finales, making tonight’s line-up a festival of penultimate episodes. 

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