It was back to business as usual with the returns of several Friday programs, including Fringe and Grimm.
For Fringe (2.9 million total viewers, 1.1 rating in adults 18-49 demographic), it was the same old story. The heavily serialized multi-universe drama returned to match a series low posted from its last original in November.
During the winter Television Critics Assoc. press tour last weekend, Fox chief Kevin Reilly admitted that the network lost money with Fringe. "At that rating, on that night [Fridays], it’s impossible to make money," Reilly told reporters, "and we’re not in the business of losing money.”
Meanwhile, Fox's Kitchen Nightmares won its time slot at 8 p.m. with a 1.7 rating. The Gordon Ramsay series lured 3.8 million.
NBC's Grimm (4.6 million, 1.4) returned after several weeks off the air, down slightly from its most recent episode in December. Airing against Fringe in the 9 p.m. hour, Grimm placed second in its time period behind ABC and CBS which tied for No. 1. Grimm lead-in Chuck (3.2 million, 0.9) stayed flat as it nears the series finale.
CBS' A Gifted Man (8.7 million, 1.3) and CSI: NY (10.5 million, 1.7) both dropped from last week's returns. Blue Bloods (11.9 million, 1.8) remained the same.
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition wrapped up its series run on ABC with 6.3 million viewers tuning in from 8-10 p.m. and a 1.6 rating, relatively steady from the previous week. Newsmagazine 20/20 (5.6 million, 1.7), however, saw an uptick at 10 p.m.
The CW's Nikita (1.5 million, 0.5) and Supernatural (1.5 million, 0.6) both slipped.
In a rare tie, ABC and CBS top Friday with a 1.6 primetime average. Fox followed with a 1.4, with NBC (1.2) and the CW (0.6) trailing.
