Total Viewers:
CBS: 4.31 million, NBC: 2.90, ABC: 2.86, Fox: 2.23, CW: 315,000
Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.5 rating/5 share, ABC: 0.4/ 4, CBS and NBC: 0.3/ 3 each, CW: 0.1/ 1
It was another typical uneventful Friday night based on the fast affiliate ratings. CBS led in total viewers care of “Undercover Boss” (Viewers: #3, 2.70 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3 rating/3 share at 8 p.m. ET), which was below average, “Magnum P.I.” (Viewers: #1, 4.76 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3 at 9 p.m.), and “Blue Bloods” (Viewers: #1 for the night: 5.46 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.4/ 3 at 10 p.m.). And Fox dominated in adults adults 18-49 care of “WWE Friday Night Smackdown!” See network averages above.
It was a virtual tie in the battle of the diluted two-hour network newsmagazines as follows:
Friday 9-11 p.m. ET
ABC – “20/20”
Viewers: 2.63 million (#3); A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#3t)
NBC – “Dateline”
Viewers: 2.92 million (#2); A18-49: 0.3/ 3 (#3t)
At this point, these newsmagazines are just taking up space.
Earlier in the evening, ABC’s “Shark Tank” (Viewers: #1, 3.34 million; A18-49: #2, 0.4/ 4) had an advantage over NBC’s competing “The Blacklist” (Viewers: #2, 2.85 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2) in the Friday 8 p.m. hour. But, like most network series, both are clearly not what they used to be.
The CW closed the night with reboot dramas “Charmed” (Viewers: 398,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Dynasty” (Viewers: 292,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.), which were buried in last place.
