ABC:  AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS continued to be the best performer of the network’s night (with the probable help of an NBA playoff lead-in), steady at 1.1.  ONCE UPON A TIME (0.9), MATCH GAME (0.8) and the season finale of AMERICAN CRIME (0.4) were each up 0.1 from last week.

FOX:  New episodes of THE SIMPSONS and FAMILY GUY aired for the first time in a month or more, with SIMPSONS up 0.1 to 1.0, and FAMILY up 0.2 to 1.2.  The rest aired last week, and BOB’S BURGERS was down 0.1 from its 7;30PM episode to 0.7, while MAKING HISTORY (0.6) and THE LAST MAN ON EARTH (0.8) were steady.

CBS:  The entire line-up held last week’s numbers:  60 MINUTES at 0.8, NCIS: LA at 1.0, MADAM SECRETARY at 0.7, and ELEMENTARY at 0.5.

NBC:  After a 0.8 rerun, LITTLE BIG SHOTS climbed 0.2 to 1.5, CHICAGO JUSTICE remained at 1.0, and SHADES OF BLUE was up 0.1 to 0.8.

LUCIFER returns to FOX tonight for a brief run after a long hiatus, having decided to hold the final episodes shot for this season until the fall.  In addition, NBC has the season finale of bubble show TAKEN.  

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