ABC enjoys the onset of March.
ABC: The Alphabet Network won every timeslot last night, with both LAST MAN STANDING and MALIBU COUNTRY up a robust 0.3 (to 1.6 and 1.4, respectively), even though the only rerun they faced was on CBS. SHARK TANK was the highest-rated show of the night with 1.9, and 20/20 was up slightly to 1.5.
FOX: The night’s shows were also up, although at a lower level, as KITCHEN NIGHTMARES rose 0.2 to 1.3 and TOUCH gained a tick to 0.8. (Reports that pilots are being offered to Kiefer Sutherland, though, tell you where that show is likely headed.)
NBC: The network’s last all-news Friday (Grimm returns next week) was steady, with DATELINE down slightly to 1.3 and ROCK CENTER even at 1.0.
CBS: An evening of reruns was highlighted by 1.1 for UNDERCOVER BOSS, then back-to-back BLUE BLOODS were at 0.8/1.0.
CW: NIKITA continued its plodding pace, even at 0.3, and was followed by a VAMPIRE DIARIES rerun at 0.2.
Tonight is a typically dull Saturday schedule, all reruns and dross (plus a new SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE with host Kevin Hart and musical guests Macklemore and Ryan Lewis), but Sunday will be quite busy on the networks, with a 2-hour premiere of RED WIDOW on ABC and the return of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE on NBC. Cable features the season finale of ENLIGHTENED on HBO, and two premieres on History Channel: THE BIBLE miniseries, and THE VIKINGS, which is the network’s first continuing scripted series.
