On Friday night, Grimm returned and it was NBC's top rated Friday show but it didn't have a strong a premiere as it has other years when its premiered around Halloween. That could have been due to the comedy lineup. Undateable was dead even with last week while Truth Be Told, which had its order cut to 10 episodes, was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. The fourth season premiere of Grimm was on par with its season finale with a 1.1 demo but it hit a series low in total viewers. This show is past its peak but I think it still would have a little life left if it was in a better situation. At 10pm, Dateline NBC was killed by 20/20. It fell 1.4 million viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's two hour edition. Game 3 of the World Series on FOX, which saw the Mets get a win, delivered good numbers for Friday night.

On ABC, Last Man Standing and Dr. Ken had another good week. Last Man was down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while Dr. Ken was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Shark Tank followed and was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. As mentioned, 20/20 had a big week with an interview with Leah Remini about Scientology. It was up three million viewers and half a demo point. Finally on CBS, The Amazing Race was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo and Hawaii Five-0 was down two tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. Blue Bloods had a down week as it fell seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The viewer total was a series low.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: 20/20 (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Dateline NBC (NBC)
