The two-day premiere will lead out o…

But NBC’s Dateline (0.7…

Concluding a year that started in tragedy with a celebration, Blue Bloods (0.8/3) wrapped up its eighth season last night on top.

While the CBS NYPD family drama was down 11% from the Season 7 ender of May 5, 2017 to hit a finale low, Blue Bloods was tied with lead-in Hawaii Five-O (0.8/3) for the highest rated show…

The missing-plane mystery thriller comes from an outside studio, Warner Bros. TV, and as we noted yesterday, along with the buzzy pilot, the studio also had…

As usual, CBS was the Big 4 viewership victor (6.94 million) on Friday night and matched Fox's 0.7/3 among adults 18-49 but the House of Moonves certainly felt a sting. Kicked off by the parental themed Season 2 finale of MacGyver (0.6/3) and followed by Hawaii Five-O (0.7/3) and Blue Bloods (0.7/3) CBS saw its entire…

CBS was all encores last night, Jane The Virgin (0.2/1) was back from its winter break with a spotlight on boundaries and consent and Gordon Ramsay cooked up a primetime win.

The last Friday of January 2018 saw an even Hell's Kitchen (0.9/4) take the top spot among adults 18-49. That victory pushed Fox, who played a…

The Exorcist (0.4/2) ended its second season and 2017 with a narrative bang last night. On a Blue Blood-less Friday that saw little movement for most shows, the bloody and unexpected death of a major character on the finale of the Fox horror drama was pretty placid among adults 18-49.

Like lead-in Hell's Kitchen…

Maybe it was the lingering remembrance of Pearl Harbor, an escape to the 50th state from the chill of December covering most of America or maybe it was just the love of an old fashioned antidote story, but Hawaii Five-O (1.1/4) had a very good night on Friday.

A somewhat steady primetime on the Big 4 and the CW found t…
