It was a quiet Friday night where a 1.9 demo topped the night for all shows. On CBS, Undercover Boss started things off up 1.7 million viewers and a two tenths in the demo. This is still a reliable Friday performer. At 9pm, Vegas was up three tenths in viewers and the demo from its last Friday airing. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, Fashion Star was down three tenths in viewers and the demo while Grimm was down two tenths in viewers and the demo for a season low. It will move to Tuesdays now and air behind The Voice so those ratings will be interesting to monitor.

On ABC, Happy Endings took a bad fall from already bad numbers as the 8pm episode was down two tenths in the demo and the 8:30pm episode was down a tenth in the demo. There's no way ABC can justify bringing this show back, I don't care how close it is to syndication. At 9pm, Shark Tank was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. It had a big jump at the half hour which seems to imply that Endings could be bringing down these numbers. At 10pm, 20/20 was down 1.1 million viewers and half a demo point from last week's Boston bomber coverage. On FOX, Kitchen Nightmares was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo in its first new airing since March 15. Touch was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo from its last new airing.
