Finals Update: Last Man Standing (1.1) adjusted up, putting it up year-to-year from its 5th season finale. The Originals (0.3) adjusted down. 

On a night jam-packed with finales, ABC's Last Man Standing (1.0) finished off a 6th season steady with its previous outing and its 5th season finale. On the other hand, Dr. Ken (0.7) fell a tenth from its last outing to a brand new series low, a far cry from last year's 0.9, Ken's fate is still up in the air so this data point is not a good sign. ABC had yet another repeat of Shark Tank (0.7) at 9, it will return for a new episode next week alongside the debut of the Toy Box. The alphabet network capped off the night with 20/20 (0.8) up a tenth from its last installment. 

With NCAA over, CBS had the return of their drama line-up, MacGyver (0.9) and Hawaii Five-0 (1.0) both inched down from their last results, but Blue Bloods (1.1) managed to rise despite the long break.

After 6 years, Grimm (0.9) ended a 6-season run up a tenth from its last outing and matched its season high, it was also even with its 5th season finale. NBC capped off the night with more Dateline (0.9), it was down a tenth from last week and had  0.9/1.0 half-hours. 

FOX had a finale of their own as Sleepy Hollow (0.5) ended its fourth (final?) season even with its last episode. Leading into the meager drama was an equally meager Rosewood (0.5), the sophomore drama was down a tenth and hit a new low. 

It was steady as usual over on The CW as The Originals (0.4) and Reign (0.2) both matched their last outings.

Finals Update: NCAA Coverage adjusted down and averaged a 1.3 from 8-10. Dateline (0.8) adjusted down.

CBS retired their drama trio for a night in favor of a night of March Madness (1.4/1.8/1.4), it performed significantly better than a typical drama night and single-handedly beat out any other programming of the night.

ABC's comedies, Last Man Standing (1.0) and Dr. Ken (0.8), remained frozen at their series lows, both shows have only one more episode to air before their respective season finales. After the comedies, ABC benched Shark Tank and 20/20 for a 2-hour Manson special (1.1). At 9, it was significantly below an average Shark Tank, but it was a good bit above an average 20/20 installment at 10.

NBC's Grimm (0.8) inched up from last week but Dateline (0.8/0.9) was down from last week's 1.0.

Fox's Rosewood (0.4) continued to air out repeats alongside anemic Sleepy Hollow originals (0.4).


The CW had the season premiere of The Originals (0.3) and more of Reign (0.2). The former was significantly below an average Vampire Diaries installment.

(R) = repeat

(F) = finale

Finals Update: When We Rise (0.4) adjusted down.

After weeks of ho-hum ratings, Friday night finally saw some change for once as ABC pushed Shark Tank (1.4) an hour earlier to make room for the last batch of When We Rise (0.5/0.4) episodes. Shark Tank managed to match last week's outing, but When We Rise could only match its miserable day-ago outing as it leaves the grid for good.

NBC had the finale of disappointing freshman Emerald City (0.7). City managed to inch up after a string of 0.6s but it still didn't make much of a case for renewal. Grimm (0.8) and Dateline (0.8) were even with their week-ago outings at 8 and 10 respectively.

FOX went with a repeat of Rosewood (0.4) which in turn sank Sleepy Hollow (0.4) to a dreadful new low.

The CW had more of The Vampire Diaries (0.4) and Reign (0.2), both even with last week.

CBS had an all repeat-night with MacGyver (0.7), Hawaii Five-0 (0.8), and Blue Bloods (0.7) and they were still within striking distance of the NBC originals.

After posting some very strong results this winter, ABC's Last Man Standing (1.1) and Dr. Ken (0.8) came back down to earth, matching their season lows. Shark Tank (1.1) slipped alongside the comedies, but remained a tick above its low. At 10, 20/20 (0.9) was the winner of this slow night as it managed to match last week's result despite its lead-in's slippage.

The drops were even more brutal over on CBS as MacGyver (0.9) crashed three-tenths from last week and could only match its season low. Hawaii Five-0 (1.1) and Blue Bloods (1.1) had slightly better trends, down two-tenths and a tenth respectively.

Amidst all the drops, NBC's Grimm (0.8) managed to inch up from last week's low as did Dateline (0.8) at 10. Sandwiched between the two, Emerald City (0.6) remained frozen at its miserable low.

FOX's Rosewood (0.6) gave back a tenth but Sleepy Hollow (0.5) didn't get any worse.

The CW had The Vampire Diaries (0.4) and Reign (0.2), both were stable with last week's outings.
