We have previous week's final ratings, Week 35 (5/15/17-5/21/17, LIVE+SD). ABC won the week in A18-49 and did a 1.19 rating.  NBC was #2 with a 0.98 rating.  CBS was #3 with a 0.84 rating, while Fox was #4 with a 0.78 rating. Among total viewers, CBS was #1 with 6.035 million, with ABC #2 at 5.114 million.  NBC was #3 with 4.923 million and Fox at #4 with 2.572 million.

For the final season (9/19/16-5/24/17, LIVE+SD) numbers, NBC was 1 in A18-49 with a 1.66 rating, followed by Fox at #2 with a 1.52 rating thanks to the Super Bowl and also heavily inflated by a high 7-game World Series. Without those 2 events, Fox would be #4. CBS was #3 with a 1.40 rating and ABC was at #4 with a 1.19 rating. Among total viewers CBS was #1 at 7.963 million, followed by NBC at #2 with 6.749 million. ABC jumped by Fox for #3 with 4.991 million as Fox settled for #4 with 4.909 million. ABC will have a bigger lead when final Live+7 figures are out.

Back to week 36 (May 22-29), read our full night-by-night analysis followed by how the sitcoms did! GREAT showings are in BOLD. If they are in bold in both total viewers and 18-49, then it is very impressive:
