TVLine readers gave the premiere an average grade of "B"; read post mortem.

Leading out of that, Dynasty resumed its season (after an 11-week break!) with 260K and a 0.1, down sharply in audience from its double-episode December premiere.

Over on CBS, Undercover Boss (3.5 mil/0.4), Magnum PI (4.9 mil/0.4) and  Blue Bloods (5.8 mil/0.4) were all steady, with the latter's 250th episode copping Friday's biggest audience.

ABC's Shark Tank (3.4 mil/0.5) ticked down but still tied lead-out 20/20 and Fox's Friday Night SmackDown (2.1 mil/0.5) for the nightly demo win.

NBC's Winter Paralympics coverage averaged 1.3 mil and a 0.2, while a Thing About Pam encore added 1.6 mil/0.2 to Tuesday's so-so premiere numbers (2.8 mil/0.4).
