At 9pm, Grimm was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a Friday low, but the number is not that bad for mid December Fridays. At 10pm, Dateline NBC was up three tenths in viewers but down four tenths in the demo. Over on ABC, two editions of the just-cancelled Extreme Makeover: Home Edition were comparable to last week while 20/20 was down 1.1 million viewers and four tenths in the dmeo. CBS was in repeats while FOX populated the night with specials and repeats.
