The broadcast networks finish the increasingly obsolete idea of a "broadcast season" on Wednesday. That's why "Idol," which normally has a Wednesday/Thursday cycle is airing Tuesday/Wednesday this week.
So the first three days are packed with season finales galore: Fox's "Bones," CBS's "Mike & Molly" and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Monday, NBC's "The Voice" and Fox's "American Idol," ABC's 'Modern Family," CBS's "Survivor," FX's 'The Americans" and NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" Wednesday. As an outlier, NBC's 'Hannibal" ends Friday.
There's also a series finale with Syfy's 'Warehouse 13" on Monday.
And NBC's "Last Comic Standing" comes back after four years on Thursday.
This covers Monday, May 19 to Sunday, May 25.
