Friday TV Ratings 3/22/24: March Madness Slightly Down from Thursday, WWE SmackDown Drops (Final Ratings w/Analysis)


Ratings Analysis: CBS's second night of March Madness coverage (1.09/1.52) was down from the first night (1.50/1.26), but the numbers were still high enough to keep them in the lead. WWE Smackdown (0.61, -0.07) declined on Fox and had to settle for second place for once. ABC's Shark Tank (0.27) was in repeat-mode, but that didn't stop 20/20 (0.30, +0.08) from surging. Dateline (0.21, +0.02) inched up on NBC and built significantly on the Deal or No Deal Island rerun (0.12) that led into it. On the CW, Penn & Teller: Fool Us (0.07, +0.01) grew, Totally Funny Animals (0.03, -0.01) dropped, and Totally Funny Kids (0.03, 0.00) held steady.
