By Chris Ariens 

ABC’s “20/20” was Friday night’s #1 show beating CBS’ season premiere of “Numb3rs” and NBC’s “The Jay Leno show” in head-to-head competition. “20/20” drew a 2.3/7 in A18-49, topping the CBS drama (1.7/5) and “Leno” (1.5/5). The newsmagazine also finished #1 in A25-54 (2.6/8).

This was “20/20’s” highest A18-49 and A25-54 rating since February, and with 7.1M Total Viewers, its biggest audience since March.

ABC News correspondent Mary Fulginiti reported on a Texas murder mystery involving four high school friends.
