The usually reliable ABC Friday lineup had a surprisingly down year, mostly because longtime stalwart Shark Tank took a double digit decline in all three phases of the season.

Compared to Shark Tank, 20/20 was steadier for the most part, but didn't get the winter bounce it often does.

Shark Tank: It was a surprisingly bad season for this show seemingly out of nowhere; this was its lowest Plus for a fully Friday season since all the way back in 2012-13! (Though it aired for three years on Sunday and two of those were lower.) Throw in the departure of Mark Cuban after this upcoming season and the show is in a more uncertain place than usual. Like several unscripted shows that had around this decline (The Voice, The Masked Singer, American Idol), bumping the grade up a notch because of the smaller league average decline. Grade: C.

20/20: Couldn't get the winter bounce that has become commonplace for this show but otherwise was roughly even. Grade: C+.

The names in this last table link to the shows' War of 18-49 pages. Links with an asterisk(*) have been updated with the new info. Updates to younger shows will come later in the summer.
