Sunday TV Ratings 5/18/25: Bob’s Burgers Returns with a Series Low, The Simpsons Also Hits New Low for Finale, American Idol Ends on a Season High [+ Analysis]

Ratings Analysis: After months off the air, Fox brought Bob's Burgers (0.15, -0.22) back for a one-off Sunday showing before its move to Thursday nights. Naturally, the long-running cartoon crashed to a new low, but Bob's still beat the Krapopolis finale (0.11, -0.04) that led into it. Earlier in the night, The Simpsons (0.13, -0.04) dropped to a new series low for its finale, while Family Guy (0.19, -0.01) dipped slightly. On ABC, American Idol (0.72, +0.10) picked up a tenth on finale night, while Funniest Home Videos (0.46, -0.04) declined. 60 Minutes (0.49, +0.10) also gained a tenth on CBS. NBC's Suits LA (0.10, -0.02) weakened on series finale night. The CW went with the 1995 film Clueless (0.04). Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
