Ratings: ‘Shark Tank’ Drowns During Another Soft ABC Sunday

Second-place CBS is happy to have another NFL overrun kick off primetime

SHARK TANK – "Episode 625" – A scientist from Tampa, FL invented a very life-like, synthetic human cadaver that will make medical testing more effective; two friends from Seattle, WA hope the Sharks won't turn their idea to make personalized super hero action figures into a super zero; three ladies from Philadelphia, PA have an affordable online service to help you quickly achieve a high-end interior room design; and two men from Commerce Township, MI hope the Sharks will invest in their sunscreen full-body misting device. Also, an update on Judy Edwards and her son, Bobby Edwards from St. George, UT, who invented the Squatty Potty, a healthier way to get things moving along when you do your business in the bathroom, that Barbara Corcoran invested in during Season 6, on "Shark Tank" airing FRIDAY, MAY 8 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

No one expected ABC to compete last night, but the Disney-owned broadcaster sure didn’t want to see a “0” in front of “Shark Tank’s” key demo Nielsen rating either.

As usual, NBC dominated Sunday’s primetime with “Sunday Night Football” and its pregame show. CBS finished second with an afternoon NFL game bleeding into the 7-11 p.m. day part.

Even most Fox shows ticked up versus last week — so that’s… something.

NBC was first in ratings with a 4.6 rating/16 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 14 million, according to preliminary numbers.
