Rating the Ratings: Undercover Boss turned in another strong season in the Friday lead-off role for CBS, dropping by less than the league average. The year-to-year numbers may be a bit inflated since it was positioned more favorably on the calendar this year (started five weeks earlier and ended two months earlier). This may have helped keep Boss from ever dipping to the 1.1/1.0 low points from the last two seasons, but it was still impressive work on the whole. Despite this, CBS is taking Boss off the fall schedule yet again in 2014-15. This is probably not much about Boss; it's more about The Amazing Race needing a slot (which, in turn, is more about needing to give Madam Secretary pretty much the only slot where it has a prayer of success). Grade: B.
