-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a Friday of split leadership, with ABC first in total viewers, and CBS No. 1 among adults 18-49. NBC finished second in both categories, with the CW a comfortable fourth and Fox a weak fifth.
NBC was the most-watched network at 8 p.m., with soon-to-be overused Deal or No Deal at 9.73 million viewers (and a second-place 2.2 rating/8 share among adults 18-49). How did you like that contestant that gambled away $110,000? Jeez! CBS won the hour among adults 18-49 care of repeat holiday specials Frosty the Snowman (Viewers: #2, 8.06 million; A18-49: #1, 2.7/ 9) and Frosty Returns (Viewers: #2, 7.42 million; A18-49: #1t, 2.4/ 8).
Also airing from 8-9 p.m. was ABC’s struggling Men in Trees (Viewers: #3, 5.97 million; A18-49: #4t, 1.3/ 5), which was far from convincing last night, and a repeat of Fox’s relocated Don’t Forget the Lyrics (Viewers: #4, #5, 3.88 million; A18-49: #5, #4t, 1.3/ 5). The CW’s always reliable Friday Night Smackdown! remained just that at 4.58 million viewers (#4) and a 1.5/ 5 among adults 18-49 (#4) from 8-10 p.m.
ABC was the most-watched network at 9 p.m. care of Women’s Murder Club, which tied NBC’s Friday Night Lights for first among adults 18-49. Take a look:
Friday 9 p.m.
Women’s Murder Club (ABC)
Viewers: 8.58 million (#1), A18-49: 1.8/ 5 (#1t)
Friday Night Lights (NBC)
Viewers: 5.44 million (#3), A18-49: 1.8/ 5 (#1t)
Yes, it is sad when the top-rated series in a time period can’t even crack a 2-rating among adults 18-49.
Over at CBS, two-hour special Movies Rock! A Celebration of Music & Film did not rock in the ratings, with just 5.87 million viewers and a 1.8/ 6 among adults 18-49 from 9-11 p.m. And Fox dud The Next Great American Band moved into the Friday 9 p.m. hour with a mere 2.99 million viewers and a 1.2/ 4 among adults 18-49. Comparably, that ranked last in the time period.
Top-rated honors at 10 p.m. (and it was nothing to boast about) fell in ABC’s corner with veteran newsmagazine 20/20 at 7.88 million viewers and a 2.3/ 7 among adults 18-49. Worth noting was growth of 23 percent in the demo for 20/20 out of Women’s Murder Club. NBC’s Las Vegas was second with 6.82 million viewers and a 1.9/ 6 among adults 18-49. Does anyone know, of even care, that Tom Selleck is on Las Vegas this season?
