In the latest TV ratings, Fox’s Friday Night SmackDown drew 2.1 million total viewers and a 0.5 rating, ticking down week-to-week yet still leading the night in the demo.

NBC’s Dateline season opener, meanwhile, delivered Friday’s largest audience: 2.7 million. Leading into that, College Bowl (1.8 mil/0.2) matched last week’s Season 2 premiere.

CBS’ Secret Celebrity Renovation (2.2 mil/0.2) dipped, leading into a Fall Preview special that did 1.6 mil/0.1.

Over on The CW, with preemptions now factored out, Killer Camp (160K/0.0) added a few eyeballs, as did the Dynasty series finale (185K/0.0, TVLine reader grade “B+”; read post mortem).

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. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
