Friday night had a regular lineup on NBC. Chuck started things off up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a season high in total viewers. Maybe it benefited from less competition on the other networks though it's not like it rose a ton. At 9pm, Grimm was dead even with its last Friday showing three weeks ago and up in total viewers from its Thursday sampling. This stabilization is a good sign for Grimm. Dateline NBC closed the night up 1.7 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo from last week when it had a terrible lead-in. Over on ABC, two episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was pretty much dead even with last week while 20/20 was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. CBS aired specials and repeats while FOX was in repeats. What a boring night.
