On Friday night, CBS was pretty steady with last week. Undercover Boss was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. A 1.8 is still way better than A Gifted Man was getting. At 9pm, CSI: NY was down four tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. I'm thinking this is going to be the odd show out for CBS but it's too bad that they won't get to do a proper series finale if it comes to a late decision. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. Over on ABC, Primetime: What Would You Do? was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo while 20/20 came back from its lotto story high last week as it was down 1.9 million viewers and six tenths in the demo.

FOX had the Friday premiere of The Finder and it delivered terrible numbers, likely sealing its already likely cancellation. Fringe followed and was down a tenth in viewers and down two tenths in the demo to a very low 1.0. Finally on NBC, Who Do You Think You Are? was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo at a terribly low 0.8. This is one of the many shows that NBC should cancel. At 9pm, Grimm was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. While only a 1.3, it is on NBC with a terrible lead-in on Friday night so this can't be considered a terrible performance. I mean a 1.3 is better than Bent, 30 Rock, Up All Night, Awake, and Rock Center this week. At 10pm, Dateline NBC was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo.
