On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat did a 1.2 and The Real O’Neals a 1.0, both up a tenth of a point, then the two-hour Dancing With the Stars finale a 1.6, down from the previous night’s 1.9, and well down from last fall's 2.4 finale.

A Price Is Right prime special on CBS did a 1.1, then a double run of Person of Interest a pair of 0.9s, down from last week’s 1.2.

The CW’s The Flash rated a 1.2, down a tenth, and Containment a flat 0.5.
