Week 35 (May 20-26) Analysis: Week 35 is the final week of the season but it is only the first three nights of the week, so really there is only 34 1/2 weeks during this TV season. For the final three nights of the season, ABC was in first in HH/total viewers and it was a photo finish in adults 18-49, with NBC having the slight edge over ABC. CBS was third in adults 18-49, while Fox was a few tenths behind in fourth. In HH/viewers, ABC got the win over CBS, with NBC above normal and in third, beating Fox. The TV season ended on Wednesday, so we really don't count the rest of the week's ratings since it is summer programming and many repeats. For the May sweep, it was close among the four nets, but ABC took the 18-49 rating crown but all the networks were down from last season except for NBC (which was up just a tenth). As for the previous week, week 34, ABC took home first in adults 18-49 with a 1.95 rating boosted by the great 3.55 18-49 rating for the Billboard Music Awards, compared to a 1.90 for second place Fox. Rounding it out was CBS with a 1.72 and NBC in fourth with a 1.71. Among total viewers, it was of course CBS on top just getting by second place ABC. Fox was third in total viewers, while NBC had to settle for fourth in this as well.
