Total Viewers:
CBS: 4.33 million, ABC: 2.88, NBC: 2.60, Fox: 1.92, CW: 288,000
Adults 18-49:
Fox: 0.4 rating/4 share, ABC, CBS and NBC: 0.3/ 3 each, CW: 0.0/ 0
There were season finales: CBS crime solvers “Magnum P.I.” (Viewers: #1, 4.87 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3 at 9 p.m. ET) and “Blue Bloods” (Viewers: #1 for the night: 6.02 million; A18-49: #1, 0.4/ 4 at 10 p.m.). And they aired out of failed competition series “Come Dance With Me” (Viewers: #3, 2.08 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.2/ 2 at 8 p.m.). Unless CBS decides to move “Magnum PI” in the Friday 8 p.m. anchor position, expect the two dramas to remains paired up again next season.
Tops for the night in adults 18-49 (and it was certainly nothing to boast about) was “WWE Friday Night Smackdown” on Fox. See network averages above and keep in mind this is a shell of what it once was/
Elsewhere, ABC’s “Shark Tank” opened with 3.51 million viewers (#1) and a 0.4/ 4 in the demo (#1t) at 8 p.m. It led into tired newsmagazine “20/20” (Viewers: #3, 2.56 million; A18-49: #2t: 0.3/ 3 from 9-11 p.m.), which was identical to competing “Dateline” on NBC.
Earlier in the evening on NBC was fading “The Blacklist” at 2.66 million viewers (#2) and a 0.2/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#3). And The CW featured reboot dramas “Charmed” (Viewers: 375,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Dynasty” (Viewers: 202,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.). It does not get much lower than that.
