Spotted Ratings, Friday 8/26/11 (FINALS)

WHAT MATTERS:

• Though CBS' preseason NFL game (2.0) was a lot stronger than the last two Fridays' games on Fox, most other shows were also up week-to-week. That included burnoffs Karaoke Battle USA (1.0), which actually hit a new high in week three, and Friends with Benefits (0.7 and 0.6), which rallied from a couple weeks of 0.5's to tie its premiere ratings. Newsmagazines Dateline (1.4) and 20/20 (1.3) were also on the upswing.

Above based on FINAL adults 18-49 ratings unless otherwise noted.
