The networks rebounded from last week’s Black Friday black hole and CBS was back on top in total viewers with new episodes of “Undercover Boss,” “CSI: NY” and “Blue Bloods.”

“Blue Bloods” was the night’s most watched show overall, while “Undercover Boss” posted the highest 18-49 demo score and reached a 2.0 in the 8:30 p.m. half-hour. (“Boss” was the only show of the night to even reach a 2.)

The CW’s struggling “Nikita” improved slightly by shifting back to its previous 8 p.m. timeslot. After not airing at all the last two weeks, “Nikita’s” fifth episode this season drew a season high in total viewers and matched its season high (0.4) in 18-49.

CBS led the night with 9.9 million viewers and a 6.4 rating/11
share in households. ABC followed with 6 million viewers and a 3.9/7 share. FOX (4 million viewers and 2.6/4) narrowly topped NBC (3.7 million, 2.6/4).
The CW (1.2 million, 0.8/1) trailed, per usual.
