Tuesday 5/18/21 Preliminary Ratings

Total Viewers:
CBS: 7.02 million, NBC: 4.35, Fox: 2.31, ABC: 2.17, CW: 708,000

Adults 18-49:
CBS and NBC: 0.6 rating/4 share each, Fox: 0.4/ 3, ABC: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

CBS scored a typical Tuesday victory care of “NCIS” (Viewers: #1 for the night: 7.84 million; A18-49: #1, 0.7 rating/5 share at 8 p.m.), “FBI” (Viewers: #1, 7.35 million; A18-49: #2, 0.7/ 4 at 9 p.m.), which moves into the Tuesday 8 p.m. ET hour next season, and “FBI: Most Wanted” (Viewers: #1, 5.38 million; A18-49: #1, 0.5/ 4 at 10 p.m.).

There were a number of season/series finales last night and they performed in the fast affiliate ratings as follows:

“Pooch Perfect” (ABC): 8 p.m. (series finale)
Viewers: 2.00 million (#4), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#4)

“black-ish” (ABC): 9 p.m. (season finale) – concludes in 2021-22 in midseason
Viewers: 1.66 million (#4), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#3t)

“Mixed-ish” (ABC): 9:30 p.m. (series finale)
Viewers: 1.61 million (#4), A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#3t)

“Blue Sky” (ABC): 8 p.m. (season finale)
Viewers: 2.87 million (#3), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#4)

“The Resident” (Fox): 8 p.m. (season finale)
Viewers: 2.88 million (#3), A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#3)

“Prodigal Son” (Fox): 8 p.m. (series finale)
Viewers: 1.73 million (#3), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#3t)

Elsewhere, NBC’s “This Is Us” pales in comparison to its heyday, with 4.73 million viewers (#2) and a 0.8/ 5 in adults 18-49 (#1). The network is wise to end the series next season. “This Is Us” led out of “The Voice” (Viewers: #2, 5.30 million; A18-49: #2, 0.5/ 4 at 8 p.m.), which will only have one edition next season, and into medical drama “New Amsterdam” (Viewers: #2, 3.02 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3). And The CW featured “The Flash” (Viewers: #5, 691,000; A18-49: #5, 0.2/ 1), which was once its strongest show, and the return of “Superman & Lois” (Viewers: #5, 724,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1).
