THE WEEK AHEAD: May 21-27, 2018

Here is a look at Week #35! The final week of the 2017-18 season. It ends on Wednesday and the summer season officially begins on Thursday.

ABC
ABC has finales of Monday and Tuesday with a pair of reality finales - the abbreviated season of Dancing with the Stars and the end of season 1 of the ABC era of American Idol. Tuesday brings the season finale of the smash return of Roseanne followed by the series finale of ABC tentpole The Middle. I will have more thoughts on The Middle on Tuesday. Later in the night are the season finales of Splitting Up Together and For the People. The rest of the week is in summer mode with burnoffs of Quantico, now banished to Fridays, and the two hour series finale of the cancelled Deception on Sunday.
