Friday Final Nationals: No Lifts for ‘Vampire Diaries’, ‘Originals’, ‘Second Chance’ on New Night

11 Comments

CBS and ABC split leadership on this Friday prime time — CBS with total viewers (7.2 million), ABC with all key demos.

Three shows moved to Friday on this evening with ordinary results. On the CW, “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals” shifted over from Thursday nights and each series delivered their average season numbers. Fox’s “Second Chance” fell in the ratings even further in its new Friday slot from its disappointing first two weeks on the air.

      • Hey, I only show 1 episode airing on this day (at 9pm) and that had 104K L+SD viewers. Is that not correct? Could I please have the L+SD numbers for both episodes because I’m kinda confused? Thanks for the L+7 data though. Made my morning!
