Spotted Ratings, Sunday 5/20/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • ABC won the season's last Sunday with the Billboard Music Awards, but the show was down a few ticks from last season's edition (3.0). I guess we're too far removed now to see much of a bounce from another Whitney Houston tribute.
  • NBC was above average with the finale of Celebrity Apprentice but both the finale and the season as a whole were down nearly 30% year-to-year. I wouldn't be surprised if next season is the show's last.
  • Fox got small bounce-backs from The Simpsons and a one-hour Family Guy on finale night.
  • CBS massacred everyone in total viewers and was a distant fourth in the demo thanks to made-for-TV movie Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt (12.77m total viewers, 1.2 A18-49), which as usual skews as old as pretty much anything you'll ever see in primetime. It was a tick weaker in 18-49 than last year's Jesse Stone movie on the same night.
