On Friday night, NBC got back in the game with the return of Grimm. But first, Fashion Star's season premiere fell on its face. I can't see NBC keeping this show here long especially if they feel it brings down Grimm. At 10pm, Grimm returned for the first time since mid November and it was down just a tenth in the demo. The 1.5 demo is solid for NBC, which is sad. At 10pm, Rock Center with Brian Williams was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Over on ABC, Last Man Standing was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Malibu Country was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Shark Tank was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It's impressive that it went up against a new Grimm and still went up. At 10pm, 20/20 was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. 

On CBS, Undercover Boss was down a tenth in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Golden Boy got a one time airing in the slot it was originally scheduled in. It did very poorly - right around Made in Jersey levels. It will be interesting to see how this show holds up on Tuesdays and how Vegas does when it comes to 9pm Fridays in April. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On FOX, Kitchen Nightmares was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while Touch was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
