Finals Update: A repeat of MacGyver (0.6) adjusted up while repeats of Hawaii Five-0 (0.5) and Riverdale (0.1) adjusted down.
Friday night got a little more interesting as ABC had the premiere of newsmagizine What Would You Do? (0.9). That was a good bit above what it was doing Tuesdays at 10 in 2015-16 season, but exactly even with last year's summer premiere. It also managed to build from its Shark Tank repeat lead-in (0.7). At 10, 20/20 (1.0) managed to pull ahead of NBC's Dateline (0.9) as the former tackled the story of Otto Warmbier. Both had similar-sized lead-ins with Dateline having a repeat of America's Got Talent (0.9).
After airing an original 48 Hours last week, CBS stayed out of the original game with drama repeats (0.5/0.6/0.6).
Fox had repeats of their Wednesday and Thursday centerpieces (0.4/0.4).
The CW showcased the season finale of The Originals (0.3), steady with last week, and the start of a Riverdale (0.2) repeat marathon.
