Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers:
CBS: 5.22 million, ABC: 3.07, NBC: 2.51, Fox: 2.00, CW: 570,000

Adults 18-49:
ABC and Fox: 0.5 rating/4 share each, CBS and NBC: 0.4/ 3 each, CW: 0.1/ 0
In season premiere news was NBC game show benchwarmer “The Wall”, which did not impress at just 2.34 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3 rating/3 share in adults 18-49 (#4) in the Friday 8 p.m. hour.

Overall, CBS remains the network to beat in total viewers on Friday as follows:

CBS/Friday
8:00 p.m. – “S.W.A.T.
Viewers: 4.66 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 0.4/4 (#3)

9:00 p.m. – “Magnum P.I.”
Viewers: 5.22 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#2t)

10:00 p.m. – Blue Bloods”
Viewers: 5.76 million (#1), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#2t)

Effective on Friday, January, 2022, “Undercover Boss” returns for a new abbreviated season in place of “S.W.A.T.” (which moves to Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on January 2).

“WWE Friday Night Smackdown” on Fox, meanwhile, tied ABC for first in adults 18-49. See averages above.

In the battle of the aging two-hour newsmagazines, ABC’s “20/20” and NBC’s “Dateline” (which could each easily be trimmed to one hour) were almost identical as follows:

Friday 9-11 p.m.

ABC – “20/20”
Viewers: 2.87 million (#2), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 4 (#1t)

NBC – “Dateline”
Viewers: 2.59 million (#3), Adults 18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#1t)

Elsewhere, ABC’s veteran “Shark Tank”, like basically every network series, remains on the year-to-year downside with 3.47 million viewers (#2) and a 0.5/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#2t). And The CW featured “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” (Viewers: 672,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Nancy Drew” (Viewers: 349,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.), which finished in the distant No. 5 spot in their respective time periods, of course.
