The freshman ABC comedy tied for #1 in the half-hour with Adults 18-34 and Women 18-34.

Shark Tank (9-10pm - 6.5 million and 1.5/6 in AD18-49) Jumping over its lead-in by 67% in Adults 18-49 at 9pm, ABC's Shark Tank led its hour by 50% over its nearest competition (1.5/6 vs. 1.0/4 - 2nd hour of CBS' 2-hour Amazing Race). The ABC unscripted series held even week to week with young adults. Shark Tank was also the most-watched show overall in the hour (6.5 million).

20/20 (10-11pm - 5.8 million and 1.3/5 in AD18-49) At 10pm, ABC's 20/20 won its hour for the 2nd week in a row among Adults 18-49 (1.3/5) and Adults 25-54 (1.7/5), beating the 2nd hour of NBC's 2-hour Dateline (1.0/4 and 1.3/5) by 30% and 13%, respectively. The ABC newsmagazine held steady in Adults 18-49 to match an 8-week high - since 2/20/15.
