Hannibal didn’t eat anyone on the first Olympics-free Friday in a month.
NBC: HANNIBAL returned at 1.1, which was considerably below its series premiere 1.5 (which aired on a Thursday), but better than its postseason 0.7 season finale. It was also slightly up from the 1.0 season finale of Dracula in that timeslot. Hannibal had a 1.4 lead-in from GRIMM, down 0.1 from its last original airing in January. DATELINE started the night with a steady 1.2.
ABC: LAST MAN STANDING fell 0.3 from its last original airing to 1.2, while THE NEIGHBORS was down a more modest 0.1 to 1.0. SHARK TANK was even with its last pre-Olympics episode at 2.1, and 20/20 rose 0.4 from last week with its stronger lead-in, to 1.8.
CBS: UNDERCOVER BOSS fell 0.4 from its last pre-Olympics episode to 1.3. HAWAII 5-0 and BLUE BLOODS were both at 1.4, respectively down 0.4 and 0.2 from pre-Olympics.
FOX: After an 0.7 BONES rerun, both ENLISTED and RAISING HOPE were at 0.6, which was a new low for Enlisted (down 0.1).
CW: Reruns at 0.4/0.5 for WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY and 0.2 for STAR-CROSSED.
Tonight NBC airs NHL HOCKEY in primetime, and then the first new SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE in a month, with host Jim Parsons and musical guest Beck, as well as the debut of the post-Seth Meyers Weekend Update. ABC takes a primetime run of THE SOCIAL NETWORK. Tomorrow that network will air a little something called THE ACADEMY AWARDS, and the rest of the networks will scatter, although AMC has a new THE WALKING DEAD and HBO will air its regular line-up.
