UNDERCOVER BOSS seems to be a better fit with H5O and BLUE BLOODS, than THE AMAZING RACE.
Do you have Friday ratings for the late night shows? Thanks!
Not yet based on this fast affiliate data.
Season highs for many things including Masterchef. Shark Tank isn’t doing what it use to. Use to have high 1 Demos and even crack a 2 demo from time to time. Burned out?
I think Mysteries of Laura would be a pretty decent Friday offering if NBC decides to renew the show.
You are so right about The Mysteries of Laura. And it would fit well into Dateline on Friday.
Agreed. And if Fox ever feels the need for “Greed” with a revival, I’d be down with that! I loved that show and I thought it had good ratings on Friday back when it was on.
I have felt the need for “Greed” ever since it was prematurely canceled.
I am surprised that they have not brought Greed back. Would love to see Chuck Woolery back, as well. GSN destroyed Lingo when they revamped it and dropped Woolery.
My hope for Fridays is that the networks start programming it positively, not as a repository for shows that failed elsewhere (meaning everything there except Blue Bloods – kudos to Les Moonves for that move!)
Hi Marc: What happened to THursday’s ratings. I’ve looked and looked and can’t find them on the site.
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Thanks Marc. 🙂
I guess you didn’t do the preliminary that day. I’ve gotten addicted to the half-hour splits. 🙂
