WHAT MATTERS:
- NBC's second go at primetime boxing (0.8) was down by three tenths from the first one a month ago, perhaps nicked a bit by additional competition from NASCAR (1.0). Though NASCAR came out on top, it was 33% behind the year-ago race.
- ABC hit a new low with what seems to be the final edition of In an Instant (0.5).
WHAT MATTERS:
- The third installment of In an Instant (0.6) inched down again, seemingly suffering from a newsmagazine logjam at 9/8c with 48 Hours and Dateline each in play. It went 0.5/0.6 in the 9:00 hour before perking up to 0.7 in the last two half-hours.
WHAT MATTERS:
- NBC got good returns from the return of broadcast primetime boxing (1.1), with 18-49 results about on par with recent Fox UFC telecasts (and slightly better total viewership).
- ABC's In an Instant (0.7) also did OK by Saturday standards, dropping just two tenths from the Friday telecast that led out of Shark Tank. If it could tie 48 Hours on a regular basis, ABC would probably be pretty happy with that.
WHAT MATTERS:
- A one-week move to 8/7c was no problem for Shark Tank (1.9), but its two-hour lead-out preview of In an Instant (0.9) still had a light sampling, far below usual 20/20 numbers. The docudrama film series will be on Saturday starting tonight.
- Despite the added 8/7c competition, The Amazing Race (1.2) inched up in its second Friday episode, while Hawaii Five-0 was even at 1.2 and Blue Bloods (1.4) had a good outing. (It never got as high as 1.4 on an Amazing Race night in the fall.)
- NBC slightly grew week-to-week by installing a repeat of Law and Order: SVU (0.6) at 8/7c leading into Dateline (1.3), while Fox's World's Funniest Fails (0.8) and Glee (0.6) and the CW's Hart of Dixie (0.4) were all even again.
