Spotted Ratings, Friday 9/9/11 (FINALS)

WHAT MATTERS:

• NBC's 9/11-themed edition of Dateline (1.8) nearly doubled all other programming on this Friday. It was the highest-rated Dateline since March 25.

• The last two episodes of Friends with Benefits (0.7 at 8:00, 0.7 at 8:30) were each up a tick as was ABC's burnoff Karaoke Battle USA (0.8). Fringe fans, don't look now but its encore (0.6) has now gained two tenths in the last two weeks. Good sign for the fall...?

Above based on FINAL adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
