We have previous week's final ratings, Week 34 (5/8/17-5/14/17, LIVE+SD). NBC won the week in A18-49 and did a 1.06 rating.  CBS was #2 with a 1.03 rating.  ABC was #3 with a 0.92 rating, while Fox was #4 with a 0.72 rating. Among total viewers, CBS was #1 with 7.028 million, with NBC #2 at 5.100 million.  ABC was #3 with 4.034 million and Fox at #4 with 2.367 million.

For season to-date (9/19/16-5/18/17, LIVE+SD), NBC is 1 in A18-49 with a 1.68 rating, followed by Fox at #2 with a 1.54 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 is  #3 with a 1.42 rating and ABC at #4 with a 1.19 rating. Among total viewers it is CBS #1 at 8.019 million, followed by the dropping NBC at #2 with 6.788 million. Super Bowl/World Series boosted Fox still at #3 with 4.973 million as ABC is #4 with 4.968 million. ABC will overtake Fox in total viewers in this final week.

Back to week 35 (May 8-14), 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:
