Final Broadcast Ratings: September 19, 2014

CBS and NBC share the Friday night leadership, with both networks posting a 1.0 rating in the A18-49 demographic, while CBS is the top overall draw, with 5.4 million viewers.

CBS' rise to the top was the direct result of a special Friday edition of BIG BROTHER. The reality series posted a 1.6 demo rating, along with 5.2 million viewers. If BB is any indication, CBS could be looking good with THE AMAZING RACE taking the time slot this fall, continuing reality series success.

FOX continues to look horrible with UTOPIA drawing no better than the CW's MASTERS OF ILLUSION. Although it is a big hole to fill, can FOX continue with UTOPIA and its terrible ratings?
