- The only real notable this Friday was the CW debuting its new Friday original lineup. Whose Line Is It Anyway? (0.6 at 8:00, 0.6 at 8:30) might be considered a bit underwhelming since many of its recent repeats have pulled 0.5's, and they're down by about half from the huge premieres last summer. But keep in mind this has always been a show (dating back to its ABC/syndication days) with big repeat value. The finals took a meaningful downturn for Hart of Dixie, now amount about the drop one would expect in this move. (It was technically even with the last episode, but that was a season low against the Olympics.)
- CBS once again aired a basketball lineup with ratings worse than its usual Friday original ratings (but at least better than the repeat ratings this time). Both games were actually up from the pathetic 0.8/1.0 CBS got on the first Friday of last season.
