On Friday night, ABC was on top with two shows getting the night's best demos on any network at a low 1.6. At 8pm, Shark Tank was down five tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but still the easy 8pm champ. At 9pm, Primetime: What Would You Do? was up even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Finally at 10pm, 20/20 was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. On FOX, the series finale of the canceled The Finder was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while the season finale of Fringe was up four tenths viewers and a tenth in the demo. I think its final 13 episode season will air in the fall.

CBS saw series lows across the board. Undercover Boss was down five tenths in viewers and a big four tenths in the demo. This show has fallen apart on Fridays in recent weeks. At 9pm, the season (or series) finale of CSI: NY was even in viewers and down two tenths in the demo for a series low. Rumor has it that this may get the edge over CSI: Miami but this performance did not help its case. At 10pm, the season finale of Blue Bloods was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a series low. On NBC, Who Do You Think You Are? started off the night down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Grimm followed down two tenths in viewers and the demo, tying a series low. Dateline NBC was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
