On ABC, The Middle rebounded from last week as it was up four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. At 8:30pm, the series finale of the cancelled Suburgatory was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Not bad for its finale and there probably could have been rationale for bringing it back, but it's upside is pretty limited at this point. At 9pm, Modern Family was up half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance in a couple weeks. Mixology was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, the season finale of Nashville was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. I don't think things are gonna be pretty for this show next year. On FOX, the 500th episode of American Idol was up nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo.

On CBS, Survivor was even in viewers and up two tenths in the demo for a high for the spring edition. At 9pm, the season finale of Criminal Minds was up a strong 1.5 million viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best performance since February 5. The veteran drama actually edged NCIS and The Blacklist as the top demo draw for a drama so far this week. Finally on NBC, everything was up a little bit. Revolution was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. Law & Order: SVU was also up a tenth in viewers and the demo, which is not a bad performance considering how much Criminal Minds rose. At 10pm, Chicago PD was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
