Ratings Clack – And so ends another season

We can officially put the 2010-2011 season in the books now, and the more things change, the more they stay the same ('Ido'l and 'DWTS' are still huge). As the season ends, it's time to welcome the onslaught of summer programming. Hello 'Bachelorette' and 'So You Think You Can Dance'.

FOX – It would seem that American Idol doesn’t really miss Simon all that much after all. Following a bit of a stumble with the last performance show (20.57m/6.4), the Idol finale (29.29m/9.2) again brought huge numbers.That was well above the numbers for the finale last season (24.22m/8.2). Earlier in the week, there were more finales from The Simpsons (5.25m/2.5), Bob’s Burgers (4.31m/2.1), House (9.11m/3.4), Chicago Code (7.11m/2), and Glee (11.8m/4.6). Glee had a big boost as it followed the final performance show for Idol.

ABC - It wasn’t at Idol levels, but the Dancing With The Stars finale (21.42m/4.6) was also up over the finale for last spring. That came on the heels of a very good number for the final performance show (22.86m/4.7). The Wednesday comedies also got the finale treatment, with The Middle (7.33m/2.2), Modern Family (10.31m/4.2), Cougar Town (5.01m/2), and Happy Endings (4.02m/1.7) all signing off until next season. The week started with an ok result for the Billboard Music Awards (7.88m/3). Finally, the ABC summer officially began with the return of The Bachelorette (9.02m/2.8).

NBC – Celebrity Apprentice (8.61m/3) kicked off the final week of the season on a solid note. Things then quickly slowed down with the series finale of The Event (4.89m/1.6) on Monday. Although, that was better than expected. Biggest Loser (8.2m/3.1) rounded out what has been another solid season to complete the finales. L&O LA (5.91m/1.3 – 5.47m/1.3) continued to play out the string with two more uneventful results, while The Voice (8.49m/3.8) took a bit of a hit when faced with the DWTS finale. Friday Night Lights (2.91m/.8) finished out the week.

CBS - Jesse Stone was back with Innocents Lost (13.93m/1.3), skewing as old as ever. He was joined by Clash of the Commercials (6.84m/1.9) and the series finale of Suspect Behavior (7.25m/1.8) to make up the four hour week for CBS.
