THE DEADLIEST CATCH (Discovery) held at 1.0. INK MASTERS (Spike) was down 0.1 to 0.8, while THE LITTLE COUPLE (TLC) rose 0.1 to 0.8 and 19 KIDS AND COUNTING (TLC) fell 0.2 to 0.7.

FOX looked like a cable network last night–and not in a good way.
FOX: The season finale of GLEE fell 0.2 to an embarrassing new series low of 0.6, and the premiere of RIOT followed with an even worse 0.5. In both hours, the network was beaten by CW.
NBC: THE VOICE stayed at last week’s series low 2.5. The first half-hour of ABOUT A BOY was up 0.2 from last week to 1.7, and the season finale that followed then dropped 0.2 to 1.5, although that was still better than what Growing Up Fisher has been doing in that slot. The season finale of CHICAGO FIRE was steady at 1.9.
CBS: Season finales of both NCIS (2.6) and NCIS LA (2.5) were up by 0.3, and the season finale of PERSON OF INTEREST rose 0.2 to 1.9.
ABC: The season finale of AGENTS OF SHIELD stayed at 1.9. The season finale of THE GOLDBERGS was up 0.1 to 1.4, and the series finale of TROPHY WIFE was up 0.2 to 0.9. CELEBRITY WIFE SWAP held at 0.9.
CW: The season finale of THE ORIGINALS is currently up 0.3 to 0.9, and SUPERNATURAL is currently up 0.1 to 0.9, but the network was preempted in NY for baseball, so those numbers may shift.
Tonight’s season finales include CRIMINAL MINDS, SUBURGATORY, NASHVILLE and ARROW.
