Sunday TV Ratings 5/19/24: American Idol Ticks Up for Katy Perry’s Final Episode, The Simpsons Ends on New Series Low, CSI: Vegas Hits Season High for Series Finale [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: The American Idol season finale (0.65, +0.02) topped the night on ABC, with the singing-competition series rising for Katy Perry's final episode. However, America's Funniest Home Videos (0.50, -0.06) dropped for its own finale in the 7 p.m. slot. On Fox, The Simpsons (0.14, -0.02) fell to a new series low on finale night, but Krapopolis (0.14, +0.02) and The Great North (0.16, +0.04) were actually up for their respective season closers. In the 9:30 slot, Bob's Burgers (0.18, -0.11) aired an original episode for the first time in over two months, one that doubled as its season finale. It was a new series low for Bob's, but it still outpaced the other three despite taking such a long hiatus. 60 Minutes (0.55, +0.12), The Equalizer (0.43, +0.07), Tracker (0.46, +0.04), and CSI: Vegas (0.35, +0.10) were all up for their CBS finales. For Vegas, this served as a new season high for the drama's final ever episode. NBC's showing of 2018 film Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (0.12) did not move the needle in a significant way and was beaten by a 10 p.m. Dateline rerun (0.13). 2009 film The Proposal (0.07) was a hundredth lower than the week-ago Mamma Mia! on the CW.
