There were season finales all over the place on Tuesday night. On ABC, the season finale of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. The good news is that after its early decline in the ratings, it has hovered around a 2.0 demo since December. At 9pm, the season finale of The Goldbergs was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. It will head to Wednesdays next year. The series finale of the cancelled Trophy Wife was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Celebrity Wife Swap was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. CBS had season finales of all three dramas. NCIS was up 1.1 million viewers and a good three tenths in the demo. NCIS: Los Angeles was up eight tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best performance since February 4. Person of Interest was up half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo.

On NBC, The Voice was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The final two episodes of the season of About a Boy followed. The 9pm episode was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week while 9:30pm was up three tenths in the demo from Growing Up Fisher last week. It permanently moves to 9:30pm in the fall, let's see how it does. At 10pm, the season finale of Chicago Fire was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. FOX was not on the map at all as the season finale of Glee was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for a series low. How is FOX going to promote this dud next year when it returns at midseason? From getting over a 5 in the demo in 2010-11 to this... wow. The horrible lead-in led to zero interest in new sketch comedy series Riot, which premiered to the worst numbers ever for a premiere on a broadcast network. This is probably not even acceptable for summer.
