THE RUNDOWN: Tuesday, May 24

ABC
8:00 Dancing with the Stars (REPEAT)
9:00 Dancing with the Stars (12th Edition Finale) 
On the next to last night of the season, ABC is all Dancing with the Stars. After a recap of the final performance show, the two hour finale airs. There is some competition from The Biggest Loser and The Voice and Glee but it’s not overwhelming. Still, it may not quite reach the heights of last fall’s finale.

Prediction: Dancing 8:00 – 10.7 million, 2.2/Dancing 9:00 – 23.1 million, 5.0

CBS

8:00 NCIS #177 "Defiance" (REPEAT)

9:00 NCIS: Los Angeles #32 "Bounty" (REPEAT)

10:00 NCIS #178 "Kill Screen" (REPEAT)

CBS seems to have ended its season a few days early so they have repeats. An extra NCIS repeat at 10pm replaces a repeat of The Good Wife.

NBC
8:00 The Biggest Loser (12th Edition Finale)
10:00 The Voice
NBC is all new starting with the finale of The Biggest Loser. It will have a tough go of it against Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, and Glee so it will probably be below the finale from last fall. The Voice follows at 10pm and should still be strong but probably down against the Dancing finale.

Prediction: Loser – 7.9 million, 3.1/Voice – 9.2 million, 4.2

FOX

8:00 American Idol

9:00 Glee #44 "New York" (Season Finale)

FOX is all new and starting with American Idol on a special night with the final two performance show. It should be very strong as the 8pm competition is not very tough. The season finale of Glee follows at a special time. The competition is tougher but it has a great lead-in and Glee was a great companion to Idol last year so the numbers should be significantly higher than they’ve been recently.

Prediction: Idol – 25.9 million, 8.2/Glee – 12.2 million, 4.9
