Even in rerun form, SNL40 outperformed the usual NBC Friday line-up.

Demo Profile 2015 FRI.20 Feb

ABC:  It was a strong night for SHARK TANK and 20/20, each up 0.4 from last week to a respective 2.2 and 1.6.  LAST MAN STANDING was steady at 1.3, and CRISTELA dropped 0.1 to 0.9.

CBS:  UNDERCOVER BOSS gained 0.1 to 1.3, and both HAWAII 5-0 and BLUE BLOODS rose 0.2 to 1.4 and 1.5.

FOX:  WORLD’S FUNNIEST FAILS and GLEE remained at their respective 0.8 and 0.6.

CW:  HART OF DIXIE lost 0.1 to 0.4, and was followed by a pair of WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY reruns at 0.3/0.4.

NBC:  The SNL40 rerun scored 1.5, giving the network an extra few tenths from its usual Friday.

The networks air their usual Saturday debris tonight, although FOX has a DAYTONA 500: BASH AT THE BEACH special, and ABC features a COUNTDOWN TO THE OSCARS hour.  Tomorrow, of course, brings THE OSCARS themselves, which will scare away most of the other networks, although AMC couldn’t care less with THE WALKING DEAD and HBO will air its low-rated regular Sunday line-up.

CABLE RATINGS: Come back Monday for detailed demographic ratings for top cable programs from this day.
