FINALES
CBS’ Under the Dome ended its run with 4.2 MILLION same-day viewers Thursday; NBC’s just-renewed Car
michael Show claimed 4.6 MILLION
Wednesday.
HERE SHE IS
ABC’s Miss America Pageant
claimed
7.1 MILLION viewers Sunday, dead even with last year’s but a distant finisher to NBC’s Sunday Night Football
