The Wednesday night Nielsen ratings are in. Below is the May 23 ratings report from ABC:

ABC's freshman season finale of REVENGE finished as the No. 1 series in the 10 o'clock hour, beating out the season ender of NBC's veteran LAW & ORDER: SVU in the hour by wide margins with Total Viewers (+11% - 7.8 million vs. 7.0 million), Adults 18-49 (+26% - 2.4/6 vs. 1.9/5) and Adults 25-54 (+25% - 3.07 vs. 2.4/6).

* Jumping by double digits across the board week to week, REVENGE drew its biggest audience in 20 weeks and equaled 15-week highs with Adults 18-49 and Adults 25-54 - since 1/4/12 and 2/8/12, respectively.

* The Disney-owned drama produced substantial year-to-year gains in the hour, outdelivering season-finale programming on the same night last year in Viewers (+77%), Adults 25-54 (+43%) and Adults 18-49 (+33%). On average, REVENGE capped out its first season as ABC's most-watched series in the hour in 5 years - since LOST during the 2006-07 season.
