0.8 for Made In Jersey? That’s terrible. It’s very likely getting pulled this week. CSI: NY and Blue Bloods are weak also. CBS has completely collapsed on this night.
I think that Shark Tank aired instead of Wife Swap. Shark Tank is doing well but ABC loses steam after that. The comedy block isn’t likely to do much better though. Has anyone read one positive review for Malibu Country? I’m surprised that a Reba led comedy is getting trashed like it is.
Grimm is doing very well for NBC.
X-Factor repeats are doing better than original episodes of Fringe. Fringe has done practically the impossible here.
* At 9 p.m. ET, “Grimm” (1.6/5 in 18-49, 5.2 million viewers
overall) maintained 100 percent of last week’s 18-49 rating for the
show’s Friday night season debut, to rank #1 in the hour among ABC, CBS,
NBC and Fox. “Grimm” was #1 or tied for #1 among those networks from
9-10 in adults and men 18-34; adults, men and women 18-49; and adults,
men and women 25-54.
* “Grimm” matched its highest 18-49 rating for a Friday telecast
since January 20.
* Keep in mind that last season, “Grimm” originals added an
average 69 percent to these next-day “live plus same day” 18-49 ratings
when Nielsen issued “live plus seven day” results and last week’s
telecast grew by 72 percent in “live plus three day” results (to a 2.72
from a 1.58).
* At 10 p.m. ET, “Dateline NBC” (1.3/4 in 18-49, 4.6 million
viewers overall) ranked #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49 and
tied for #1 in adults 25-54. “Dateline” also finished #1 among those
networks in women 25-54 and men and women 18-49. From its first
half-hour to its second, “Dateline” grew by 17 percent in adults 18-49
(to a 1.4 rating from a 1.2), 19 percent in adults 25-54 (1.9 vs. 1.6)
and 13 percent in total viewers (4.8 million vs. 4.3 million).
* “Dateline NBC” matched its top Friday 18-49 rating since June 1.
* In the 10:30 lead-in to local news, “Dateline NBC” delivered a 6
percent margin of victory in the key news demographic of adults 25-54
(with a 1.9 rating vs. a 1.8 for CBS’s second-place “Blue Bloods”).
“Dateline” was also #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in the 10:30 half-hour in
women 25-54 and adults, men and women 18-49.
* At 8 p.m. ET, an encore telecast of “The Voice” (0.9/3 in 18-49,
3.1 million viewers overall) matched NBC’s top non-sports 18-49 rating
in the time period since May 18 and delivered the networks biggest
overall audience for non-sports programming in the hour since that same
date.
In late-night metered-market households Friday night:
* In Nielsen’s 56 metered markets, household results were: “The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” 2.5/6; CBS’s “Late Show with David
Letterman,” 2.5/6; and ABC’s combo of “Nightline,” 2.8/6; and “Jimmy
Kimmel Live,” 1.4/4.
* In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, adult 18-49 results
were: “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” 0.8/4; “Late Show,” 0.5/2;
“Nightline,” 0.9/4; and “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” 0.5/3.
* At 12:35 a.m., “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” (1.5/5 in
metered-market households) beat CBS’s “Late Late Show with Craig
Ferguson” (1.1/4). In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, “Late
Night” (0.6/4 in 18-49) topped “Late Late Show” (0.4/2).
* At 1:35 a.m., “Last Call with Carson Daly” averaged a 1.0/4 in
metered-market households and a 0.4/3 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets
with local people meters.

clueless gal strikes again…. Reba on CW was never liked by critics yet it did very well for CW standards.
CBS wins Friday in viewers (8.25m)
CSI: NY wins time period in viewers (8.37m), second in A18-49 (1.2) and A25-54 (1.7)
Made in Jersey wins time period in viewers (6.77m)
Blue Bloods wins time period in viewers (9.59m), A25-54 (1.8, tie) and second in A18-49 (1.2)

Reba was on WB and moved to CW for one year to finish up the episode order (critics didn’t officially review any of the CW episodes because of it.) But regardless, Reba was loved by critics while on WB and even won critics awards. Critics led the campaign to try to save it on CW when it transitioned also. Being hated by critics is news to me. Are you sure we’re talking about the same show?
Featuring Shark Tank, What Would You Do? and 20/20, ABC won Friday night in Adults 18-49, winning by double digits over NBC (+17%), CBS (+40%) and Fox (+40%). ABC’s Shark Tank stood as Friday’s #1 TV show across all key Adult demos (AD18-34/AD18-49/AD25-54).
ABC’s Shark Tank dominated the 8 o’clock hour among Adults 18-49, leading the pack for the 4th week in a row. In fact, the ABC unscripted series towered over CBS’ CSI: NY, widening its winning advantage to 42% (up from a 15% advantage the prior week).
· Surging week to week by 15% in Adults 18-49, Shark Tank posted a best-since premiere number.
ABC’s What Would You Do? ran a strong second in the 9 o’clock hour among Adults 18-49 (tying for the lead in audience share), beating Fox’s Fringe by 40% and CBS’ Made in Jersey by 75%. What Would You Do? won its hour with Women 18-49.
During the 10 o’clock hour, ABC’s 20/20 was up year to year for its 3rd straight telecast: Total Viewers (+21%), AD18-49 (+9%) and AD25-54 (+7%). Anchored by Chris Cuomo, ABC’s 20/20 featured an in-depth look at the stalking case of Waseem Daker, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life plus 47 years in prison.
