ABC aired a special episode of Shark Tank at 8pm and it was below its usual Friday numbers but up significantly from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. If ABC were to move this show here, it could fix its long-time Thursday 8pm problems, but it would be at the expense of the Friday lineup. At 9pm, Grey's Anatomy was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. At 10pm, Scandal was up a tenth in viewers and the demo ahead of next week's season finale. On FOX, Hell's Kitchen was the most affected by Shark Tank as it was down eight tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo. At 9pm, American Idol was down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. It actually went up for once! At 9:30pm, Surviving Jack was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. This show could be a surprise renewal with the deck stacked against it.

On CBS, the 8pm hour took a hit. The Big Bang Theory was down 1.4 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. The Millers was down 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Two and a Half Men was up four tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. The Crazy Ones was the only sitcom to not drop in the demo as it was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It still has a small chance to return if both Friends with Better Lives and Bad Teacher bomb badly. At 10pm, Elementary was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. NBC had a terrible night. At 8pm, Community was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Parks and Recreation was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, tying a series low. At 10pm, Parenthood was down a tenth in viewers and the demo, also tying a series low. This is not a good time for a bubble show to be exploring new lows.
