It was a pretty quiet Friday night for the broadcast networks. ABC started with Last Man Standing which was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, rebounding somewhat from last week. At 8:30pm, The Neighbors did not benefit from the improved lead-in as it was even in viewers and the demo. This is the clear weak link of the night. At 9pm, Shark Tank was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while 20/20 closed out the night up 1.4 million viewers and a good four tenths in the demo. On NBC, Dateline NBC was down seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo while 8pm comedy repeats did OK for Friday. 

CBS had good total viewer numbers but low demos, which isn't a terrible thing for Friday. At 8pm, Undercover Boss was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Hawaii Five-0 was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. This show seems to be fitting in nicely on Fridays. At 10pm, Blue Bloods was down three tenths in viewers and the demo. On FOX, week two of Masterchef Junior was down three tenths in viewers and the demo. It's still doing well enough for Fridays but it's getting a little closer to being too low.
