'SWAT' (0.43, +0.05) and 'Blue Bloods' (0.43, +0.02) were also able to grow from their premieres at 8 and 10 respectively. ABC also had something to write home about as both 'Shark Tank' (0.51, +0.04) and '20/20' (0.36, +0.04) rose to new season highs. Although 'Shark Tank' and 'Fire Country' were stronger competitors than usual, Fox's 'WWE Smackdown' (0.54, 0.00) was stable and won the night yet again. On NBC, 'Capital One College Bowl' (0.20, -0.01) and 'Dateline' (0.27, -0.01) shed a hundredth apiece.
