Friday TV Ratings: Blue Bloods Hits Season High in Audience
In the latest TV show ratings, CBS’ Undercover Boss (with 4.1 million total viewers and a 0.5 rating), Magnum P.I. (5.6 mil/0.5) and Blue Bloods (6.1 mil/0.4) were all steady in the demo.
UCB and Magnum landed in a six-way tie for the nightly demo win, while Blue Bloods led Friday in total audience — and with a season high.
Over on ABC, Shark Tank (3.6 mil/0.5) slipped from last week’s season highs.
Fox’s Friday Night SmackDown (2.1 mil/0.5) dipped.
The CW’s Nancy Drew dropped a few eyeballs (420K) but apparently ticked back up to a 0.1 rating.
ABC’s 20/20 and NBC’s Dateline also landed in that six-way demo tie, both pulling 0.5s

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Warning: Contents may be hot!
Magnum P.I. was excellent last night! The show is my weekly trip to Hawaii:)
Magnum P.I. continues to get better and better this season.
So happy for Nancy Drew!
Nancy Drew had only 420k viewers? That’s it? Oh man!
It’s been averaging 350K this season, so….
Nancy Drew had an 0,1 rating for last week’s episode (yes 0,05 rounds up) and the December 10th episode (0,06)
Ah yes, Dec. 10; fixed.
Nancy Drew has been soooo good this season, the last three episodes especially. I know it gets the biggest bump from dvr watchers but it’s such a shame it’s exiled to Fridays.
Blue Bloods. Can’t get enough of Tom Selleck. Actually this was a pretty funny episode, what with the Jimmy Buffett fake, the wacko on-line trolling, and the “first concert” dinner conversation. I didn’t buy the “generous” cop’s story that her family all hates her – that would be a pretty horrible family. But I liked how they turned a negative (all the saluting) into a positive. Good show.
Move Nancy Drew to a better day, she deserves it, writing and acting are better than a Friday slot show.
When is blue bloods being aired on English satellite TV also law and order s v u
