Fox finished tied with CBS and ABC for the night in 18-49, while CBS won in total viewers. CBS' Achilles' heel once again was the 8 PM slot, which claimed another casualty, once solid Canadian cop drama _Flashpoint_, which returned with a 1.1 demo rating._ CSI: NY _(1.5) was down 2 tenths, followed by _Blue Bloods _(1.5). down a tenth and last in the 10 PM hour behind NBC's _Dateline _(1.9) and ABC's _20/20_ (1.7)._ Friday Night Lights _(0.8) was up a tenth, while _Shark Tank _(1.2), _Smallville _and _Supernatural_ were steady. Will this further shake CBS' commitment to scripted programming on Fridays? Last night, a Royal wedding special at 8 PM (1.7/6, 8.6 million) delivered a rare decisive No.1 finish in the hour for the network among 18-49 and outranked the network's scripted entries in the slot this season,_ Medium, The Defenders _and especially _Chaos_. CBS'_ CSI: NY_ (1.7/5, 9.2 million) was flat as was _Blue Bloods _(1.6/5, 9.8 million). ABC's_ Shark Talk_ (1.2/4) was down 14%. It was followed by a Royal wedding _20/20,_ which drew a 1.5/5.

Full story at Bob's Blitz ~ http://www.bobsblitz.com Follow on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/bobsblitz CBS has pulled midseason series _Chaos_ off the schedule after three low-rated airings in the challenging Friday 8 PM time slot. The CIA dramedy most recently drew a 1.0/3 in 18-49 and 5.7 million viewers this past Friday. That was actually up a tenth in the demo from the previous week but way below what _Medium_ and _The Defenders_ were pulling in the slot earlier this season. For the next two weeks, CBS will air _CSI: NY _repeats in the 8 PM hour, with Canadian-made backup _Flashpoint_ stepping in May 6 with originals. CBS fought hard to land _Chaos_ in dramatic negotiations with producer 20th Century Fox TV that lasted a couple of months last summer. It got ugly for CBS last night when, in its second outing, midseason dramedy _Chaos_ (0.9/3 in 18-49, 5.6 million), fell 18% from its underwhelming premiere to finish a distant fourth at 8 PM in adults 18-49, behind a _Kitchen Nightmares_ repeat on Fox. _Chaos _also pushed down _CSI: NY_ (1.6/5,  off 11%, 9.4 million) and _Blue Bloods_ (1.5/4, down 12%, 10.3 million). As a result, despite_ Shark Tank _(1.2/4_) _slipping 9% from last week, ABC's unscripted lineup (1.4/4, 4.7 million) edged CBS' scripted series (1.3/4, 8.5 million) in 18-49 for No.1. In doing so, ABC hit a 13-week high on the night in 18-49. The season finale of NBC's _Who Do You Think You Are _(1.3/4, 5.8 million) held steady and won the 8 PM hour in both 18-49 and total viewers. NBC (1.3/4, 5.6 million) was tied with CBS for second place in 18-49. Fox and the CW aired repeats. Philiana Ng Solid performers "CSI: NY" and "Blue Bloods" help the network win the night in the adult demo. read more It seems like the fate of new CBS series _Chaos_ was sealed the day the network announced that the comedic CIA drama it fought so hard to pick up to series last summer was being assigned the Friday 8 PM slot. Last night, _Chaos_ premiered with a 1.1/4 in adults 18-49 and 6.4 million viewers. Its 18-49 rating was below the averages for _Medium_ and _The Defenders_ in the time period this season. It ties CBS' season low in the hour with first-run fare posted by a _Defenders_ episode. At 8 PM,_ Chaos_ finished behind ABC's _Shark Tank_ (1.2/5, flat with last week) and NBC's _Who Do You Think You Are?_ (1.2/5, down a tenth) in 18-49 and tied with Fox's _Kitchen Nightmares_ repeat. In total viewers, the CBS dramedy was No.1 in the hour. CBS' other Friday series, _CSI: NY_ (1.7/6, 10.3 million) and _Blue Bloods_ (1.7/5, 10.7 million) returned down after a hiatus to make room for CBS' NCAA coverage. _CSI: NY _was down 11% in 18-49 vs. its last original, _Blue Bloods_ was down 6%.
