Those two networks also had the top two shows of the night in the demo, ABC’s 9 p.m. reality show “Shark Tank” and CBS’s 10 p.m. drama “Blue Bloods,” which each posted a 1.2 rating among 18-49s.
“Blue Bloods” was also the top show of the night among viewers 25-54 (1.6 rating) and total viewers (10.12 million).
Meanwhile, NBC was third for the night among 18-49s with a 0.9 average overnight rating and a 4 share. Fox was fourth at 0.7/3, Univision fifth at 0.6/3, Telemundo sixth at 0.5/2 and CW seventh at 0.4/1.
CBS dominated the night among households, posting a 5.1 average overnight rating and a 9 share.
That was well ahead of second-place ABC’s 3.4/6. NBC was third at 2.6/5, Fox fourth at 1.8/3, Univision fifth at 1.0/2 and Telemundo and CW tied for sixth at 0.8/1.
