Wednesday Final Nationals: ‘Downward Dog’ Begins and ‘Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders’ Ends on Unspectacular Notes

TNT led adults 18-49 (approx. 2.3 rating), adults 18-34 (approx. 2.3 rating) and adults 25-54 (approx. 2.4 rating) with Cleveland Cavaliers’ easy Game 1 over the Boston Celtics in the “2017 NBA Eastern Conference Finals”.

CBS was Wednesday night’s most watched network with 5.77 million viewers, due to the night’s most-watched telecast “Survivor Game Changers”. The network also featured the final two episodes of “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders”. In viewers and all key demos, the 9 p.m. episode lagged behind Fox, ABC and NBC; the 10 p.m. episode lagged behind NBC and ABC.

The night also featured the series premiere of ABC’s comedy “Downward Dog” that retained 75 percent in total viewers but only 65 percent in adults 18-49 from its lead-in, the eighth season finale of “Modern Family.” The series will regularly air on Tuesdays during the summer.
