On Friday night, ABC started with the season finales of its comedies. At 8pm, Last Man Standing was up 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo while Malibu Country was up 1.4 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Last Man Standing will definitely be back next season and if I had to guess, I think Malibu Country will too. They have done well enough in a tough timeslot. After a Shark Tank repeat, 20/20 was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. CBS had more basketball on the night which preempted their regular lineup. NBC saw Fashion Star and Grimm both go up a tenth in viewers and stay even in the demo. On FOX, Touch was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo.
