NBC Ties Univision in TV Ratings on Night of ‘Superstore’ Series Finale

“Superstore” closed up shop last night, but NBC didn’t really reap the benefits. Instead, the network ended up in a third-place ratings tie with Univision. ABC won the evening outright thanks (mostly) to “Grey’s Anatomy,” and Fox finished second in ratings with “Hell’s Kitchen” carrying its sitcoms, including the Season 1 finale for Mayim Bialik’s “Call Me Kat.” Lower down the Nielsen list was The CW, in its familiar seventh place. That, despite airing a Prince Harry and Meghan Markle special, “Harry & Meghan’s American Dream.”

ABC was first in ratings with a 0.7 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 4.3 million, according to preliminary numbers. “Station 19” at 8 p.m. put up a 0.7/5 and 5 million total viewers. At 9, “Grey’s Anatomy” nabbed a 0.9/6 and 4.9 million viewers. “A Million Little Things” at 10 had a 0.5/4 and 3.1 million viewers.
