The early part of Friday is all kinds of flipped around. Everthing in the first hour is new to the timeslot or is completely new. Ah, the vagaries of scheduling. CW goes to college with Tyra for the 609th cycle of America's Next Top Model which is followed by Nikita. Fox moves Touch to Friday and leaves Fringe untouched for its final season (at least in this universe). ABC slides Last Man Standing to Friday and adds Reba's Malibu Country. Shark Tank follows them and leads into 20/20. CSI: NY made the cut (unlike CSI: Miami) and starts the night for CBS. Newcomer Made In Jersey actually pairs nicely in both content and demographic with Blue Bloods. NBC didn't (mercifully) kill Whitney, but moved her to start Friday. (An act of suicide?) Traditionally a non-family (think ABC's TGIF block of the 90s) sitcom doesn't really work on Friday, but it fits for the quirkiness of Community. Surprise hit from last year, Grimm, returns, as does Dateline NBC.

The night's sort of a hodgepodge, but CBS gets the win.
