TV Ratings 5/29/17: Still Star-Crossed Anemic, Lucifer Ends Up, Whose Line? Repeat Beats Original (UPDATED)

It was a strong Memorial Day for NBC. And to some extent, Fox. But not so much for everyone else. ABC had the worst night, arguably, with the Bachelorette dipping three tenths on Memorial Day and Still Star-Crossed premiering to an anemic 0.5. It's a terrible start to the season for the Shakespearean drama, which lost much of its lead in. The show even collapsed in half-hours, going from an already-bad 0.6 to a downright sad 0.4. On the CW, Whose Line got off to a rough start, starting the season with a new low of 0.2. The Lea Thompson repeat episode at 9:30 actually beat the season premiere. NBC had a strong night, with approximately a 1.7 average for the night. It was a solid outing for the Stanley Cup, making it up from last year. It was in stark contrast to the other major sporting event of the weekend, NASCAR, which was down a good deal year-to-year. CBS was in repeats, at 0.6 for the first half and 0.5 for the second half. Lucifer on Fox aired its season finale, its final episode in the 9 PM slot, and it ticked up a tenth. Its lead-in, Gotham, ticked down.

Finals Update: Gotham (+0.1) adjusted up.
