Fox’s two-hour WWE Friday Night SmackDown once again pinned the demo wars competition, racking up an 0.8 to hold steady from last week and scoring a 2.62 million audience for its segment. The victory continues Fox’s post-World Series reign atop the demo wars.
CBS was nipping at its heels, though, just a tick back in demos and more than tripling its total audience reach with its drama-heavy lineup. All three of the shows in the CBS offerings held steady from last week. Hawaii Five-0 had an 0.7 and 7.05 million to start the eye network’s night, with Magnum P.I. at 0.6 and 6.65 million. Blue Bloods was also at 0.6 and sported the largest total audience of the night at 7.36 million.
