TV Ratings 5/21/17: Making History Series Finale Steady, Billboard Awards Down a Lot (UPDATED)

It was a rough night for broadcast. The Billboard Music Awards were the biggest show of the night, but they were down about 20% from last year, with a 2.3 in prelims. It's lead-in, America's Funniest Home Videos, was up a bit from its last performance, but was likely very inflated by the BBMAs. NBC had special episodes of Dateline NBC, which performed pretty well, as well as two episodes of Shades of Blue, which, well, did not perform well. Fox's programs returned from break for their finales, and Bob's Burgers, Family Guy and The Simpsons were all down. Making History stayed steady.

Finals Update: The Billboard Music Awards (+0.3), Bob's Burgers (+0.1), and the 9:30 episode of Family Guy (+0.1) adjusted up. America's Funniest Home Videos (-0.3) adjusted down.
