The Amazing Race

'The Amazing Race'

ABC notched another Friday win, with steady episodes of its entire block. That meant a night-winning outing for Shark Tank with a 1.9 rating among adults 18-49. Comedies Last Man Standing (1.3 adults) and Cristela (1.2 adults), airing its second episode, also held — as did 20/20 (1.1 adults).

The Amazing Race had the most growth for the night, jumping 27 percent (three-tenths of a point) to a season high 1.4 rating in the key demo. Dramas Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods were each steady with a 1.2 adults ratings.

The rest of the broadcast landscape saw little week-to-week movement either, with Dateline pulling a 1.2 rating with adults 18-49, and Fox's Utopia (0.7 adults) and the CW's America's Next Top Model (0.4 adults) trailing Friday's originals.
