via press release:
At 8pm, opposite CBS’ NCIS, ABC’s season finale of Last Man Standing stood as the 2nd most-watched TV show, outdrawing the opening half-hour of Fox’s Glee by 5% and NBC’s Fashion Star by 57%. Additionally, self-starter Last Man Standing qualified as Tuesday’s most-watched comedy, beating the season finale of Fox’s New Girl by 1.1 million viewers in the 9pm half-hour.
- ABC’s Last Man Standing surged by double digits week to week in Adults 18-49 (+13%).
- During its first season, Last Man Standing delivered huge time-period gains in for ABC in Total Viewers (+41%) and Adults 18-49 (+42%) over the prior season.
In the 8:30pm half-hour, Cougar Town spiked over the prior week in Adults 18-49 (+15%) and Adults 18-34 (+38%), equaling an 7-week high and an 10-week high – since 3/20/12 and 2/28/12, respectively.
Jumping over its lead-in at 9pm, ABC’s DWTS Results Show topped the opening hour of NBC’s The Voice finale by 2.4 million viewers. In a double elimination, Disney Channel star Roshon Fegan and actress Melissa Gilbert were the next celebrities to leave the dance competition this season.
- Despite facing The Voice finale, ABC’s DWTS Results Show retained 100% of its week-ago “Fast Affiliate” Adult 18-49 rating. Building week to week, the ABC unscripted series posted its top Adult 18-34 number in 5 weeks and best-since premiere numbers with key Men (M18-34/M18-49) – since 4/3/12 and 3/27/12, respectively.
During the 10 o’clock hour against the conclusion of The Voice finale, ABC’s Private Practice dominated its CBS drama competition for the 4th week running in Adults 18-34 and Women 18-34, leading CBS’ Unforgettable by 38% and 125%, respectively.
Bill & Robert prediction for renewal was 60% and 70%… I think 95% was more appropriate. After this release I can say 100%! xD
And I’m happy about it because that is my favourite new comedy show this season.
I had a feeling this show would be fine….and it will be.
I really like seeing Tim on TV and the cast as a whole is great!
ABC will surely give this a 2nd season!
Really ABC pushing overall viewers? And that LMS had 1.1 million more viewers than New Girl.
Good job leaving out that part where New Girl beat it by a point and a tenth in the rating that really matters.
I really like this show. The ratings the last 4 or 5 episodes have been a little suspect but I hope it is enough to get a second season.
when is Abc going to aNNOUNCE THEIR NEW SCHEDULE. I’m more interested in them than any of the other networks. there shows are great
@gregg,
ABC is presenting at 4 pm on the 15th (Tuesday), so I would expect the schedule to be released either the evening of the 14th or the morning of the 15th.

This show should be coming back next season with Reba’s Malibu County.
So a show that gets a 1.7 warrants this kind of praise? Has this spring been that bad?
Great vehicle for Tim Allen and good supporting cast. Its great to see the return of sitcoms instead of the scripted so called “reality” crap. I also like the B in Apartment 23 a very well written show.
