Tuesday night was finale night with many shows airing their season finales. ABC had finales across the board. At 8pm, The Middle was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while American Housewife was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo in its last Tuesday new episode airing before it heads to Wednesday next season. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The series finale of cancelled Imaginary Mary followed and was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was even. It won't be back in September because it's being held for midseason. On CBS, the NCIS season finale was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Bull, which still has one more week, was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, the season finale of NCIS: New Orleans was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

On NBC, The Voice was even in viewers but down a rough two tenths in the demo for a new series low. It was no help to Great News, which did not show that it earned its renewal and timeslot upgrade as both episodes were down a tenth in the demo from last week with the 9:30pm episode dropping to a 0.6 demo. At 10pm, the season finale of Chicago Fire more than doubled its lead-in, rising four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, two episodes of Brooklyn Nine-Nine were counted separately, but on par with last week's two episodes, which were counted as one hour. At 9pm, Prison Break was even. Finally on the CW, The Flash was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to tie a series low while iZombie was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
