Not much to say about a night when the networks weren’t even trying.

ABC:  Winner of the night with a whopping 1.1 average.  The high point was a 1.4 for 20/20 at 10PM.

NBC:  The only network to air anything new for the night, even if it was DATELINE.  That won it a 1.1 over 2 hours.

CBS:  Nothing rated over 0.8.

FOX:  Ditto for its reruns:  HOUSE at 0.5, BONES at 0.8.

CW:  Twin 0.3s.

Tonight is all about sports.  ESPN’s Game 7 Boston/Miami NBA PLAYOFFS is certain to tower over NBC’s STANLEY CUP FINALS and FOX’s MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.  Tomorrow CBS airs the inevitably low-rated (and old-skewing) TONY AWARDS, but the excitement is on cable, where MAD MEN and VEEP end their seasons, and TRUE BLOOD makes its yearly arrival.
