Finals Update: Shark Tank (0.9) and 48 Hours: NCIS (0.7) adjusted up. The Originals (0.3) and Reign (0.2) adjusted down.


ABC's Shark Tank (0.8) plummeted to a new low on finale night, but it didn't have much help from its Toy Box lead-in (0.5), the latter sunk a tenth from already anemic results. At 10, 20/20 (0.6) saw a brutal three-tenth drop from last week.

NBC's First Dates (0.7) continued to stay surprisingly stable alongside Dateline (0.8).


On CBS, Hawaii Five-0 (1.0) ended its season up a tenth and was the only program of the night to crack a 1 in the 18-49 demographic. Earlier in the night, Undercover Boss (0.9) rose two-tenths while 48 Hours: NCIS (0.6) performed significantly worse than a typical episode of Blue Bloods at 10.


FOX aired repeats of Lucifer (0.3) and Lethal Weapon (0.3), both were down from last week.

The CW saw The Originals (0.4) and Reign (0.2) both rise a tenth, but both will likely adjust down after finals due to preemptions in New York.
