Friday 4/09/21 Preliminary Primetime Ratings
Total Viewers:
CBS: 5.33 million, ABC: 3.11, NBC: 2.60, Fox: 2.08, CW: 822,000
Adults 18-49:
ABC, CBS and Fox: 0.5 rating/4 share each, NBC: 0.4/ 3, CW: 0.1/ 1
It was another typical Friday on the broadcast networks. In other words, the password is: lackluster. CBS led the evening care of soon-to-conclude “MacGyver” (Viewers: #1, 4.52 million; A18-49: 0.4 rating/4 share at 8 p.m.), “Magnum, P.I.” (Viewers: #1, 5.33 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.5/ 4 at 9 p.m.) and “Blue Bloods” (Viewers: #1 for the night: 6.16 million; A18-49: #1: 0.5/ 4). Comparably, this pales in comparison to the network on this evening in recent years.
ABC’s “Shark Tank” topped the night in adults 18-49, with a 0.7/ 5 in the demo (and 4.05 million viewers) at 8 p.m. But veteran lead-out “20/20” (Viewers: #3, 2.64 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.4/ 3 from 9-11 p.m.) not longer resonates. Nor does competing “Dateline” on NBC (Viewers: #2, 2.95 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.4/ 3).
At 8 p.m. on NBC was “The Blacklist” at a series low 2.02 million viewers and a 0.3/ 2 in adults 18-49 — fourth in both categories — at 8 p.m.
Elsewhere, “WWE Friday Night Smackdown!” on Fox result in a tie in the demo for the network on the night (see averages above). And The CW featured two repeat episodes of “Who’s Line is it Anyway” into “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” (Viewers: #5, 751,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.). All together now…yawn!
