- It was another bellwether evening for ABC's unscripted Friday. Prior to this week, Shark Tank was arguably the most successful show on broadcast TV that had never broken a 2.0. Now, that label's gone, as it cracked the mark for the first time ever. It also helped Primetime: What Would You Do? swing upward.
- But the evening's scripted options were another story. Nikita bombed bad, down 50% year-to-year and hitting an outright series low in its return, and much of the post-Made in Jersey bounce fizzled on CBS with Hawaii Five-0 the repeat option at 8/7c this week. CSI: NY and Blue Bloods each dropped.
