Preliminary Ratings: Friday 04/01/2016

CBS sweeps the Friday night ratings, as all three regular series were back with new episodes. BLUE BLOODS was the #1 show of the night, posting the best numbers of the night in three of the four reported categories. HAWAII FIVE-O and THE AMAZING RACE were the next two best performing shows, with TAR posting the best A18-34 rating of the night.

Despite being in encores for its three regular series, ABC was the #2 network of the night. A repeat of SHARK TANK topped new episodes of both GRIMM and HELL'S KITCHEN.

NBC and FOX battle for the third spot of the night, with NBC coming out on top. Both networks did little with their all original nights. HELL'S KITCHEN is back on the night, but I would suspect that most viewers were unaware of the second move of the spring season.
