Despite two of its hours in reruns, CBS remained Friday’s most-watched network in prime time, averaging 6.55 million total viewers.
Leading prime time in adults 18-34 (0.7 rating) and a virtual tie for the top with ABC among adults 18-49 (1.0 rating) and adults 25-54 (1.3 rating) was Discovery which dedicated its 8-11 p.m. entirely to “Gold Rush” programming. An extended 91-minute episode of the hit series at 9 p.m. was the night’s top telecast on all of television among adults 18-49 (1.34 rating) and adults 25-54 (1.77 rating).
