In addition, 20/20 posted its 2nd-highest ratings of the season and was once again Friday's dominant #1 newsmagazine, outdelivering both installments of NBC's Dateline on the night (8-9pm and 9-10pm) in Total Viewers and key Adults (AD18-49/AD25-54).

Last Man Standing (8-8:30pm - 5.2 million and 1.1/5 in AD18-49): At 8pm, ABC's Last Man Standing won its half-hour in Adults 18-49.

20/20 (10-11pm - 8.1 million and 1.8/6 in AD18-49): During the 10pm hour, ABC's 20/20 dominated its slot in Adults 18-49 (1.8/6) and Adults 25-54 (2.5/7), outdelivering NBC's original Hannibal (0.9/3 and 1.0/3) by 100% and 150%, respectively. It was the ABC newsmagazine's 8th week in a row as the #1 regular program in the hour with young adults. 20/20 reported on people who make money by taking it away from someone else. 20/20 shot up week to week in Total Viewers (+41%), Adults 18-49 (+20%) and Adults 25-54 (+25%), scoring its 2nd-highest ratings this season in both key Adult demos.
