On Friday night, ABC's lineup was entirely up as other shows were mostly down. At 8pm, Shark Tank was up seven tenths in viewers and a good four tenths in the demo for its best demo since March 16. At 9pm, Primetime: What Would You Do? was up seven tenths in viewers and also three tenths in the demo. At 10pm, 20/20 was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Over on NBC, Who Do You Think You Are? was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Grimm was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Dateline NBC was up nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.

CBS had a troubling night with series lows across the board. At 8pm, Undercover Boss was down nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. This show started strong on Fridays but has faded during the spring and CBS would be wise to hold it until midseason. At 9pm, CSI: NY was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Rumor has it that this may survive while the more expensive CSI: Miami gets cancelled, but a 1.3 demo isn't helping its case. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. Finally on FOX, The Finder was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo while Fringe was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Maybe some of its fans were out watching The Avengers?
