ABC had a quiet Friday as usual. A No Ordinary Family encore started things off and was down slightly in viewers but even in the demo from last week's encore. A repeat of Primetime: What Would You Do? pulled decent numbers. They should be better next week when the show's new season officially starts. Finally, 20/20 was up from both the 9pm and 10pm episodes last week. It seems to be a good idea to just leave it at 10pm and not try to have two hours or two episodes.

CBS had gains across the board. Medium remained the weak link but was up over half a million viewers and up three tenths in the demo from last week. It hit a season high in total viewers. CSI: NY followed and was also up half a million viewers a tenth in the demo. If it can stay above 10 million viewers and hit a 2 in the demo, CBS should be happy. Blue Bloods, which was recently given a full season order, reversed its trend and was also up close to a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. All in all, a solid Friday night for CBS.

NBC had a low evening. School Pride did not dip by much but it's debut last week was so low, it hardly matters. It was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At best, NBC will run the current 7 episodes and be done with this show. Dateline NBC followed and was down in both viewers and the demo to hit season lows. It seemed to be doing better from 8-10pm than 9-11pm. FOX was barely on the map with a repeat of House, down from last week, and The Good Guys which hit a season low in the demo with a barely-there 0.6.
