�Dancing� Gains on �The Voice,� �Five-0' Exits Monday a Winner
NBC wins in demos as music show is night's top program; Fox's 'Goodwin
Games' bows meekly
by Rick Kissell

The final performance show of the season gave ABC�s �Dancing With the
Stars� a boost on Monday, as it hit a nine-week high and narrowed the
demo gap with NBC�s �The Voice,� which remained the night�s top show
despite declines. Closing things out, CBS� �Hawaii Five-O� won its
timeslot with its final original episode on a Monday.

According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, �Dancing
With the Stars� averaged a 2.5 rating/7 share in adults 18-49 and 14.7
million viewers overall from 8 to 10 p.m., up 25% (0.5) from last week
and pulling within 3 shares of NBC�s �The Voice� in 18-49 (3.4/10 in
18-49, 10.6 million viewers overall), which was off about 10% to a
Monday low.

�Dancing� narrowed the gap with �The Voice� in adults 25-54 (3.5 vs.
4.2) and easily beat out the NBC show and everything else on Monday in
total viewers. A year ago, �Dancing� wrapped its spring edition with a
2.9 rating for an final Monday performance show.

At 10 p.m., a special preview of new crime drama �Motive� averaged a
1.4/4 in 18-49 and drew 6.8 million viewers overall. It�s hard to make
much of these numbers, in part because ABC consistently promoted the
show�s Thursday 9 p.m. episode this week as its �premiere� and likely
confused many potential viewers.

Elsewhere, CBS aired a couple of finales and some repeats, with the
planned �Mike & Molly� season-ender postponed due to a tornado-related
storyline that the net felt was inappropriate to air on a day that
Oklahoma was ravaged by a tornado.

Following a special �2 Broke Girls� encore at 8 (1.2/4 in 18-49, 5.0
million viewers overall), the series finale of �Rules of Engagement�
averaged a 1.8/5 in 18-49 and 6.2 million viewers overall. It was
followed by a special repeat of �The Big Bang Theory� (2.2/6 in 18-49,
7.6 million viewers overall) and a repeat �Mike & Molly� (2.2/6 in
18-49, 8.0 million viewers overall). And at 10, �Hawaii Five-O� (2.0/6
in 18-49, 9.0 million viewers overall) won its timeslot in 18-49,
25-54 and total viewers; the show shifts to Friday nights in the fall.

�Hawaii Five-0? held an 18-49 edge on NBC�s �Revolution� (1.9/5 in
18-49, 5.8 million viewers overall), which won�t wrap its first season
until June 3.

Fox premiered its early-summer comedy lineup to weak results, with
�The Goodwin Games� bowing softly at 8:30 p.m. (0.7/2 in 18-49, 1.7
million viewers overall), on par with the repeat of �Raising Hope�
leading off the night (0.7/2 in 18-49, 1.8 million viewers overall).
It was followed by encores of �New Girl� (0.6/2 in 18-49, 1.4 million
viewers overall) and �The Mindy Project� (0.6/2 in 18-49, 1.4 million
viewers overall). Fox will be airing �So You Think You Can Dance� on
Tuesdays this summer, so it needed to find space on its lineup to air
encores of its live-action half-hours and to squeeze in �Goodwin
Games.�

And CW went with two episodes of gameshow �Oh Sit� (0.3/1 in 18-49,
0.9 million viewers overall at 8 and 0.2/1 in 18-49, 0.6 million
viewers overall at 9).

Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: NBC, 2.9/8; ABC, 2.1/6; CBS,
1.9/5; Univision, 1.5/4; Fox, 0.6/2; CW, 0.2/1.

In total viewers: ABC, 12.1 million; NBC, 9.0 million; CBS, 7.5
million; Univision, 3.8 million; Fox, 1.6 million; CW, 0.8 million.

Odd they went ahead and aired it in Canada. Aren't Canadians sensitive?

Meanwhile, Bates Motel (A&E) was the #1 scripted show on cable, with
2.48 million total viewers and 1.0 in the demo, Live+SD. (Well,
Family Guy barely edged it out, if that's "scripted"). This is down a
bit from last week's 2.7/1.3.
