In the latest TV ratings, Fox’s SmackDown led Friday in the demo, while CBS’ Blue Bloods rerun copped the night’s largest audience.
FOX | Friday Night SmackDown (with 2.3 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo rating) was up week-to-week.
ABC | NFL Draft coverage averaged 2.4 million viewers and a 0.5 demo rating.
NBC | A season-ending double helping of Grand Crew drew 1.4 mil (a season high!) and a 0.2 rating, followed by not even 1 million viewers (a season low) and another 0.2 rating.
THE CW | Whose Line Is It Anyway? (490K/0.1) dropped some eyeballs week-to-week, while The Great American Joke Off [sic] (400K/0.0) added viewers but dipped in the demo.
CBS | That Blue Bloods repeat drew 3.4 million viewers.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. This is only an exhibition, this is not a competition. Please, no wagering.
Love Grand Crew, but wasn’t a big fan of the narrative device in the final two episodes. I wonder how it does for streaming as a move to Peacock might be the best chance for it to survive.
I agree, the narration was annoying. But I loved the fact that the snooty guys in the wine-tasting competition were named “the Crane brothers,” and looked kind of like a young Frasier and Niles.
That was a great twist. I like the idea of Noah writing a book.
Would be awesome if CW picks up the Grand Crew
The CW…….?
Haven’t been keeping up with the news about the CW I guess?
It was a joke because of the terrible ratings the Grand Crew been getting
My daughter and I love Grand Crew
I am so bored of reruns on CBS. it is one thing in Summer or during the holidays but all the time is a little much.
Grand Crew felt like a series finale, but I need more of the crew! (Although I do agree with JD that the narrative device is a choice.)
I watched The Shootist on the Outdoor Channel and was completely entertained. Never saw it before. I love me some John Wayne. I, too, hate reruns. Although I am tickled that Blue Bloods’ reruns continue to beat all the competition. That says something.
Grand Crew is an awesome show. NBC switching it to Friday night did not help. I didn’t even know it was a double episode until Saturday on Hulu. It would be great if it was truly a hulu show or only peacock.
There were no advertisements stating that it was airing for a second season where I live. I stumbled on the shows second season on my television On Demand shows by literal accident. I was wondering when the show would air again and found I had missed the entire season. I just binge watched it. The season was HILARIOUS!
Really liked this show. Hope it has a third season.
Season 3…GRAND CREW…WE WANT IT!
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!!!
