TV Ratings: CBS Dramas, ‘MasterChef Junior’ and ‘Shark Tank’ Top Friday

CBS topped Friday night in both total viewers (9 million) and the targeted adults 18-49 demographic (1.4 rating), despite Undercover Boss (1.3 adults) and Hawaii Five-0 (1.4 adults) both showing modest losses -- like most of the night's broadcast offerings. The duo each shed a tenth of a point, while Blue Bloods (1.4 adults) held even at 10 p.m.
