Ratings: Broadcast Finals for December 6, 2013

ABC returns it's full Friday night line up, in originals, and it is a winning combination as the network sweeps the night. SHARK TANK lead all programs on the night, grabbing just under 7.6 million viewers  and a strong 2.0 rating in Adults 18-49. It is the first time the reality program posted a 2.0 demo rating in about a month.

Christmas specials on CBS did well in the 8 p.m. hour. FROSTY THE SNOW MAN tied BONES for the best A18-49 ratings in the hour and the #2 show of the night. YES, VIRGINIA Held a good portion of the FROSTY fans, at the bottom of the hour.

Speaking of BONES, The crime drama is drawing audience levels close to what it was pulling in on Monday nights. It is the top drama of the night, Topping NBC's GRIMM. But the FOX success stops there. RAISING HOPE completely drops the night, losing 60% of the collected audience, by BONES. FOX should continue airing double shots of the comedy though the holidays and just cancel it ASAP.

NBC had a good night as all three hours were up from the previous week. GRIMM pulls in its best numbers since the premiere and DRACULA hits above a one demo rating in about a month, or more.
