Final Broadcast Ratings: September 28, 2018

FOX not only wins the first Friday night of the new season, it wins a night the network traditionally places a distant fourth place. The revived sitcom, LAST MAN STANDING was the #1 program of the night, posting a solid 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49. New comedy, THE COOL KIDS retained 83% of its A18-49 audience and 85% of total viewers. HELL'S KITCHEN continues the winning ways, taking the hour in all three demographics.

CBS was second on the night, with its three crime dramas and had three of the five most watched shows of the night. BLUE BLOODS was #1 in the 10 PM hour.

ABC and NBC didn't do much on the night, as NBC aired encores from 8 to 10 PM and ABC aired a special edition of its TRUTH and LIES, for the first two hours.
