Spotted Ratings, Friday 3/15/13

WHAT MATTERS:

• Daylight saving had another field day, taking a chunk out of 8/7c occupants Last Man Standing, Malibu Country, Fashion Star and Kitchen Nightmares. (This was lessened after finals as the ABC comedies adjusted up.)

• At 9:00, Grimm inched down to a season low in its second week post-hiatus. The 9/8c leader was actually a repeat of Shark Tank, which was one of the show's strongest repeat outings ever.

• The finals evened out what had looked like a suspiciously strong performance out of Blue Bloods. However, the show still figures to post one of its strongest True2 performances because its Hawaii Five-0 repeat lead-in (also significantly adjusted down) was among the show's weakest lead-in this season.
