Fast Demo 2017 Apr 13.THU

ABC:  SCANDAL’s hyped 100th episode (which incorporated an alternate timeline) pushed the show up 0.2 to 1.4.  Around it, GREY’S ANATOMY (1.7) and THE CATCH (0.7) were steady.

NBC:  An experimental airing of a new TRIAL & ERROR in the SUPERSTORE slot only resulted in an 0.6, even lower than the show has been doing on Tuesdays.  POWERLESS (0.6), CHICAGO MED (1.0) and the finale of THE BLACKLIST: REDEMPTION (0.7) were all steady.

CBS:  THE BIG BANG THEORY tumbled 0.3 to 2.4, and that naturally pulled THE GREAT INDOORS down 0.2 to 1.2.  MOM (1.3) and LIFE IN PIECES (1.1) were each down 0.1.  THE AMAZING RACE stayed at 0.9.

FOX:  MASTERCHEF JR held at 0.9, but KICKING & SCREAMING lost 0.1 to 0.5.

CW:  SUPERNATURAL (0.5) and RIVERDALE (0.3) remained where they were.

CBS’s MACGYVER reboot airs its season finale tonight.

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