NETWORK UPDATE:  Both DANCING WITH THE STARS and the CASTLE season finale were up 0.1 in final numbers.  The same was true for FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES and BONES.  But 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY and THE BLACKLIST stayed put (so BLACKLIST was actually down for its season finale), and both the STAR-CROSSED series finale […]
