Spotted Ratings, Saturday 4/21/12 (FINALS)

WHAT MATTERS:

• The last of the four so-called "quarterly specials" of America's Most Wanted (all of which aired within six months) helped Fox tie for a nightly win but did much worse than the previous three. The specials' trajectory was 1.5 -> 1.1 -> 1.0 -> 0.8. Looks like they were right to let the franchise go.
