Total Viewers:
CBS: 5.38 million, ABC: 2.78, NBC: 2.21, Fox: 1.98, CW: 492,000

Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.5 rating/4 share, CBS: 0.4/ 4, ABC: 0.4/ 3, NBC: 0.3/ 3, CW: 0.1/ 1

CBS rose to a Friday night of season high viewing levels as follows:

CBS/Friday
8:00 p.m. – “S.W.A.T.
Viewers: 4.70 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 0.5/4 (#1t)

9:00 p.m. – “Magnum P.I.”
Viewers: 5.38 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#2)

10:00 p.m. – Blue Bloods”
Viewers: 6.07 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 4 (#1t)

“WWE Friday Night Smackdown” on Fox meanwhile, topped the evening in adults 18-49. See above averages. But keep in mind that the year to year deliveries for both CBS and Fox (and all the networks, actually) are on the downside.

In the battle of the aging two-hour newsmagazines, NBC’s “Dateline” had the advantage over ABC’s “20/20” as follows:

Friday 9-11 p.m.
NBC – “Dateline”
Viewers: 2.67 million (#2), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#1t)

ABC – “20/20”
Viewers: 2.28 million (#3), Adults 18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#4)

Elsewhere, recent NBC non-scripted entry “Home Sweet Home” was left at the Friday starting gate with 1.28 million viewers (#4) and a 0.2/ 2 (#4) in adults 18-49. And The CW featured “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” (Viewers: 673,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Nancy Drew” (Viewers: 310,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.), which finished in the distant No. 5 spot in their respective time periods, of course.
