Friday night saw most shows rise from last week's Halloween ratings. On ABC, Last Man Standing started things off even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. ABC will definitely take this for 8pm Friday. Cristela couldn't benefit from the better lead-in as it was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Some weeks, retention looks really good for this show, while other weeks it looks a little more troubling. This was one of those troubling weeks. At 9pm, Shark Tank was dead even with last week. 20/20 closed out the night up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a season high. A 1.7 demo is better than half the 10pm dramas on network TV right now.

Over on CBS, The Amazing Race was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Hawaii Five-0 followed with its 100th episode and it was down half a million viewers and up a tenth in the demo. The best news for CBS came at 10pm where Blue Bloods was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. 10pm shows on Friday are holding their own compared with every other night of the week and none of them get the viewer total that Bloods does. Finally on NBC, Dateline NBC was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It was a good night for the newsmagazines. Grimm rebounded some at 9pm as it was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Constantine closed things out even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. That was not enough of a rebound compared to Grimm and I still think NBC will put Hannibal back here at midseason.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 20/20 (ABC)

LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Cristela (ABC)
