On Friday night, CBS brought back Undercover Boss after two weeks of failed replacement The Job. It returned down from the numbers it was getting before The Job but I wouldn't be surprised to see it climb back up soon. At 9pm, the season (and quite possibly series) finale of CSI: NY was up nine tenths in viewers and even in the demo. I would be very surprised if CBS renewed this long running drama for another year. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was up five tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On FOX, Kitchen Nightmares was dead even with last week while Touch was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.


Over on ABC, Last Man Standing was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Malibu Country was down the same for a series low. At 9pm, Shark Tank was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo for a night-best 1.9 demo. At 10pm, 20/20 was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Finally on NBC, Dateline NBC was down four tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Rock Center was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
