On a Sunday night full of original sweeps programming, no network show topped a 1.3 rating.
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.
CBS: THE GOOD WIFE ended its 7-year run at 1.2, up 0.2 from last week. Elsewhere on the night, 60 MINUTES and the season finale of MADAM SECRETARY held last week’s 1.0s, and the season finale of ELEMENTARY lost 0.1 to 0.7.
ABC: Boosted again by a Sunday afternoon NBA PLAYOFFS game, AMERICA’S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS tied as the line-up’s highest rated show, down 0.1 to 1.2. ONCE UPON A TIME held last week’s 1.2, but both THE FAMILY and QUANTICO were down 0.1, respectively to 0.7 and 0.9.
NBC: After 0.5 for DATELINE, a clip show season finale for LITTLE BIG SHOTS fell 0.4 from last week to 1.3. After that, THE CARMICHAEL SHOW was down 0.1 to 0.8, CROWDED stayed at 0.7, and another hour of DATELINE held at 1.0.
