Ratings Analysis: The Milwaukee Bucks may have beat out the Chicago Bulls in the 'NBA Playoffs' (0.45), but the ABC broadcast failed to make much of an impression on the ratings landscape. On top of that, the 'NBA Countdown' special (0.24) that led into the game ended up being the lowest-rated broadcast on the big four networks. On CBS, 'Come Dance With Me' (0.27, +0.07) rose by seven-hundredths from last week's disappointing launch and was followed by another 'Blue Bloods' rerun (0.26). NBC drama 'The Blacklist' (0.29) held flat as 'Dateline' (0.46, -0.01) fell by a hundredth. Despite dropping by a hundredth, Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.47, -0.01) was able to top the night after losing to 'Shark Tank' last week. The CW's broadcast of the movie '2040' (0.02) served as an accurate depiction of how TV ratings will look like in that year.
Finals Update: 'NBA Playoffs: Bucks v. Bulls' (+0.1), 'WWE SmackDown' (+0.1), 'Dateline NBC' (+0.1), and the repeat of 'Blue Bloods' (+0.1) adjusted up.
