On another night riddled with football preemptions and likely to be adjusted by Monday numbers, there was little to say.  ABC’s WE DAY special went largely unseen at 0.4, and the night’s original 20/20, down 0.2 to 0.7, barely outraged its SHARK TANK rerun lead-in.  NBC’S DATELINE won the night with a paltry 1.0, […]
