FAIL: Obama’s Primetime Interview With Barbara Walters Loses to Rerun of “Blue Bloods” in The Ratings…

(Orlando Sentinel)- Friday was not a good night for President Barack Obama in the ratings. He got a shellacking there, too, to follow the one in the midterm elections.

His conversation with Barbara Walters placed second in total viewers to a rerun of CBS' "Blue Bloods" and third in the 10 p.m. time slot in the 18-to-49 age group. On that count, Obama was behind Tom Selleck and NBC's broadcast of the fantasy film "Enchanted."

The Walters interview averaged 5.7 million viewers for ABC. The "Blue Bloods" repeat, the second of two Friday night, pulled in 7.6 million for CBS.

Here are the prime-time averages for the broadcast networks: CBS with 7.2 million, Disney-owned ABC with 4.9 million, Fox with 3.9 million for the two-hour "TV's Funniest Holiday Moments," NBC with 3.1 million and The CW with 1.5 million for reruns.

Yet there was a three-way tie in the 18-to-49 age group among CBS, ABC and Fox.

CBS offered reruns of "CSI: NY" (6.7 million) at 8 and "Blue Bloods" (7.3 million) at 9.

ABC started its night with a repeat of "Happy Feet" (4.5 million). NBC countered with "School Pride" (2.3 million) and "Enchanted" (3.5 million).
