The season finales of “NCIS” and “Chicago Fire” were the only scripted programs to top 7 million viewers in a week that included the final three days of the official 2021-22 television season and the first four of the 2022 summer season.

CBS had 11 of the 16 top ranked programs among the broadcast networks, including its 12 minutes of coverage of President Biden’s speech May 24 in response to the deadly school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
