Stanley Cup skates onto June’s thin ratings ice BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH A wise person says nothing when he or she has no knowledge of a particular subject. Think how much television we’d be missing if people followed that adage. Cable news channels would pretty much cease to exist. Having admitted my near total ignorance, I still have to ask why the 2015 Stanley Cup Final (8 p.m., NBC), the championship series of the NHL, is just getting started now. Hockey is a winter sport, right? Things weren’t always like this. As I’ve explained, my knowledge of hockey is somewhere between minuscule and nonexistent. But I grew up among hockey fans when I was a kid — New York Rangers fans, to be exact. And their cross to bear, way back then, was that the Rangers had not won a Stanley Cup since 1940. Like I said, this was some time back. They’ve since won a Stanley Cup, ending their drought back in 1994. But if I claimed to be just “growing up” in the mid-90s, that would make me a liar as well as ignorant. Again, certain cable news personalities come to mind. Somehow that legendary 1940 victory remains stuck in my admittedly limited trove of sports memory. And when did the Rangers play that series? In the first weeks of April 1940. Imagine that, a winter sport wrapping up in early spring! By 1972, the Stanley Cup Final concluded on May 11. By the 1994 series, when the Rangers ended their curse, they were skating well into June. Despite being played in unseasonable weather, the Stanley Cup Final has been a consistent, if unspectacular, television

draw. Last year’s series averaged 5 million viewers per game. Hockey fans are not as numerous as Super Bowl gawkers, but they are a passionate lot. Who else would watch men on skates while anticipating the Fourth of July? • “The Ghost Army” (10 p.m., PBS, r, TVPG, check local listings) recalls efforts by artists and set designers recruited by the Army during World War II. They created elaborate illusions, including paper fortifications and inflatable tanks, to fake out the German high command and force them to deploy thousands of troops against imaginary American forces.

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Joe creates a boot camp for Ryder on “Melissa & Joey” (8 p.m., ABC Family, TV14). • Riley runs from her problems on “Baby Daddy” (8:30 p.m., ABC Family, TV-PG). • A lawn ornament launches a neighborhood war on “Modern Family” (9 p.m., ABC, r, TV-PG). • A sick hacker develops an app for arsonists on “CSI: Cyber” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-PG).

SERIES NOTES A significant anniversary on “The Middle” (8 p.m., ABC, r, TV-PG) * A rival archer arrives on “Arrow” (8 p.m., CW, r, TV-14) * Home-cooked meals on “The Goldbergs” (8:30 p.m., ABC, r, TV-PG) * Sickos in Salt Lake City on “Criminal Minds” (9 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14) * Crowley

Super Bowl, ‘Walking Dead’ among most-tweeted shows BY FRAZIER MOORE AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Tweet this: Millions of viewers were firing off those 140-character texts while they watched TV in the season just past. And there were plenty of people reading them. Nielsen Social has tracked all that digital back-and-forth, and has released a report on television-related Twitter activity in the U.S. from Sept. 1, 2014 through May 24, 2015. Highlights: • “Empire” (Fox) was not only a ratings hit in its first season but also a Twitter sensation. A total of 2.4 million tweets were sent addressing the March 18 finale. This made

this two-part conclusion the most tweeted series episode since Nielsen Social began tracking TV-related Twitter activity nearly four years ago. • The “Saturday Night Live” 40th anniversary special (NBC, Feb. 15) set the record among all series for the size of the Twitter TV audience — 9.1 million people — with 1.3 million tweets sent. • But that was dwarfed by “The 57th Annual Grammy Awards” (CBS, Feb. 8), the season’s top entertainment special, with 13.4 million tweets sent. They were seen by an audience of 13.3 million people. A close second: “The Oscars” (ABC, Feb. 22), with a Twitter TV audience of 13.0 million.

• Not surprisingly, “Super Bowl XLIX” (NBC, Feb. 1) was the biggest TV event of all on Twitter this season with 16.1 million people seeing tweets about the game, halftime show and ads. A total of 25.1 million tweets were sent. • “The Walking Dead” (AMC) roused a siege of tweeters to take the lead among series. A total of 1.3 million tweets were sent about the premiere episode on Oct. 12, 2014, reaching 7.4 million people throughout the night. The series had the largest audience on Twitter throughout the season with an average 4.3 million people seeing tweets about each new episode. • “Dead” was followed in the season-average rankings by

“The Bachelor” (ABC), “Game of Thrones” (HBO), “American Horror Story: Freak Show” (Fox), and “Empire.” But the eighth-ranked series was a bit of a surprise: the NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation,” which, concluding an acclaimed but none-too-

splashy seven-season run, was never a hit among the broader viewing audience. Even so, its Twitter TV audience averaged 2.2 million socially engaged viewers. That’s a reminder that, increasingly in the digital age, there’s more than one way to be a hit.
