Live + 7 Day Ratings for the week of 5/13/13 (Week #34):

Based on Nielsen's TV playback data among Adults 18-49, ABC claimed 2 of the week's 3 biggest gainers via time-shifted viewing, with Modern Family tacking on +2.0 rating points and Grey's Anatomy adding on +1.4 rating points to their initial Live + Same Day numbers.

ABC's Modern Family surged ahead of the Monday edition of The Voice for the 3rd week in a row in the Live + 7 Day ratings, beating the NBC unscripted series by more than a full rating point (+1.1 rating points - 5.6 vs. 4.5). In addition, the ABC sitcom increased its lead over the Tuesday telecast of The Voice to 33% in the L+7 numbers (versus +3% in the initial Live + Same Day ratings).

In the Live + 7 Day ratings, the season finale of ABC's Grey's Anatomy emerged as TV's #1 drama of the week for the 3rd straight week in Adults 18-49 (4.5 rating), tied with CBS' NCIS finale. Initially, in the Live + Same Day ratings, Grey's ranked behind the CBS drama by 3-tenths of a rating point.

Please note: ABC's Once Upon a Time and Revenge aired their season finales the prior week.
