- Almost everything on Wednesday wrapped up the season's penultimate sweeps week even or up:
- After a couple really soft weeks, ABC finally got three-tenth rallies from The Middle (1.9), the final Suburgatory (1.6) and the beginning of Modern Family's wedding two-parter (3.1);
- CBS' Survivor (2.6) adjusted up to a new season high, while the season finale of Criminal Minds (2.7) had its best rating since early February (and just a tenth below last year's finale).
- Even American Idol (2.1) perked up a bit, so maybe people actually cared about it being the 500th episode.
- And Arrow (0.9) got a finals uptick, bringing it to even with last year's finale.
