After being taken off the schedule in February, canceled drama Brilliant Minds (0.19, +0.07) was back to air its last few episodes on NBC. The series managed to set a new season high in its return, but it fell behind a repeat of The Greatest Average American (0.21) on ABC. Hollywood Squares (0.20, +0.07) also took advantage of the earlier placement, rising significantly for its CBS season finale. Over on Fox, MasterChef (0.21, -0.02) and The Floor (0.25, -0.03) both cooled down. The CW's Police 24/7 (0.09, +0.04) surged. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
