For its second hour from 10-11 p.m. ET, "Talent" topped the encore-drama competition on ABC and CBS combined in every key category -- adults, men and women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, plus total viewers.

"Betty White's Off Their Rockers" (1.1/4 in 18-49, 4.0 million viewers overall with an 8 p.m. encore; and 1.0/3 in 18-49, 4.0 million viewers with an 8:30 original) returned after a three-month absence and matched its prior 18-49 rating (1.1/3 at 8:30 on March 19). In total viewers, the 8:30 "Rockers" delivered the show's biggest audience since February 26.

Wednesday: NBC's three Wednesday encores all equaled the 18-49 ratings for their prior telecasts three weeks earlier, with a "Dateline NBC" rebroadcast averaging a 1.1/4 in 18-49 at 8 p.m. ET and 5.2 million viewers overall, a "Law & Order: SVU" encore delivering a 1.0/3 in 18-49 and 4.7 million viewers overall at 9 and a "Chicago Fire" rebroadcast averaging a 0.7/3 in 18-49 and 2.9 million viewers overall at 10.

A rebroadcast of "America's Got Talent" (0.9/3 in 18-49 3.4 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) tied for #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in the time period in adults, men and women 18-34.

Friday: NBC finished #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox Friday night in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and total viewers with the top two shows of the night, "Dateline NBC" (1.3/5 in 18-49, 6.1 million viewers overall from 8-10 p.m. ET) and "Ann Curry Reports: A Face in the Crowd" (1.3/5 in 18-49, 6.0 million viewers overall from 10-11 p.m.). "Dateline" reported its top Friday 18-49 rating since March 1 and biggest Friday audience since June 7.
