Friday 5/14/21 Preliminary Ratings
Total Viewers:
CBS: 5.48 million, NBC: 3.08, ABC: 2.70, Fox: 1.77, CW: 632,000
Adults 18-49:
CBS: 0.4 rating/4 share, ABC, NBC and Fox: 0.4/ 3 each, CW: 0.1/ 1
In season-finale news, two-hours of veteran “Blue Bloods” on CBS topped the night in total viewers, with 6.48 million and it also led the Friday 9-11 p.m. ET block in adults 18-49 (with a 0.5 rating/4 share). But, like everything else on the broadcast nets, “Blue Bloods” pales in comparison to its heyday.
Earlier in the evening on CBS was Gayle King special, “The Queen Carries On”, at 3.50 million viewers (#1) and a 0.2/ 2 in the demo (#4) at 8 p.m.
Elsewhere, both ABC’s “20/20” (#3, 2.35 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3) and NBC’s “Dateline” (Viewers: #2, 3.12 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3) remained out of the competitive loop from 9-11 p.m. “Shark Tank” on ABC at 8 p.m. was below average at 3.40 million viewers (#2) and a 0.5/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#1). Competing “The Blacklist” on NBC (Viewers: #3, 2.99 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3/ 3) should be concluding at this point. “WWE Friday Night Smackdown” on Fox continues to loose steam. See network averages above. And both “Charmed” (Viewers: 693,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1) and “Dynasty” (Viewers: 571,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1) on The CW should be put out of their misery.
