CBS was the only network with a full schedule of original episodes, so it easily won the night in totl viewers, but was edged out by ABC in the A18-49 demo ratings. BLUE BLOODS and its 10.7 million viewers. The veteran crime drama was the most watched show of the night and was third in the A18-49 demo ratings, with a 1.3.

BOSS drew a 1.5 demo rating, along with a solid 7.5 million viewers, winning the 8:00 p.m. hour.  UNDERCOVER BOSS was Third in the A18-49 ratings.

Bad news continued to the relocated drama VEGAS. In its second week on Fridays, it dropped to a 0.8 demo rating and drew just 7.2 million viewers.
