Ratings: MacGyver, Five-0 Lead Night; Black Lightning Rerun Tops Crazy Ex
CBS’ MacGyver this Friday drew 7.7 million total viewers and a 1.0 rating, holding steady in the demo week-to-week to tie Hawaii Five-0 (9.1 mil/1.0, down a tenth) for the nightly win.
Blue Bloods (9.4 mil/0.9) delivered Friday’s largest audience, as it does, while dipping in the demo.
Elsewhere….
THE CW | An encore of the Black Lightning pilot (1.05 mil/0.3) outperformed last week’s fresh Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (660K/0.2) by 50 percent.
ABC | Child Support (3.9 mil/0.7) ticked down. Agents of SHIELD (2.4 mil/0.6) added a few eyeballs while steady in the demo.
NBC | Blindspot (3.6 mil/0.7) and Taken (3 mil/0.5) were steady.
FOX | Hell’s Kitchen (3.2 mil/0.9) slipped two tenths in the demo.

Why doesn’t anyone schedule multi camera comedies on Friday’s? I grew up on TGIF and miss shows like that. Seems like a missed opportunity.
Glad for black lightning. If rerun of the pilot outperformed last week’s fresh CEG! Imagine a new episode of Black lightning would do. That doesn’t look good!
Confused-you say CW aired CEG & BL rerun but tvseriersfinale & tvbythe numbers show Penn & Teller rerun & BL rerun
I misread what was written the first time also. It says that “Black Lightning” outperformed LAST week’s “CEG”, not that it was on last night.
CBS’ Friday night line-up can’t be stopped.
That’s why we have DVR’s. Recorded H5O and watched Taken. And Taken was good!
i did the same thing watched BLINDSPOT and TAKEN recorded MACGYVER AND H50 I LIKED THE CHARCTERS BETTER FROM SEASON 1 OF TAKEN BUT DO LIKE THE NEW GIRL
I’m not sure why the Blindspot writers think messing with Weller and Jane is a good idea, but it’s not. Stop.
When is Samantha Cage coming back on Macgyver? I’m surprised she hasn’t been in the last two episodes, I know she was shot but normally we’ll see the character that was shot in the hospital bed. It made sense she wasn’t in the first episode back due to the giant bombs, but her not being in the last episode was weird.
In last week’s episode she videochatted with everyone and said she was going back to Australia, and that she’ll miss everyone. Not sure if that means she’s gone for good.
I really hope so as I was never a fan of hers to begin with. She’s a pointless addition to our original team and doesn’t seem like a believable agent.
I’m digging taken season 2 so far hopefully it gets better ratings for season 3.
