CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  Perhaps not surprisingly, this President’s STATE OF THE UNION address was a smash for Fox News, at 1.85/2.76/11.7M, far above CNN’s 0.85/1.09/3.1M, while on MSNBC it was actually the DEMOCRATIC RESPONSE that outrated the speech itself, peaking in the 10:42PM segment at 0.53/0.69/3.3M.

A bigger surprise was that despite enormous hype, E!’s 2-hour premiere of the docuseries CITIZEN ROSE had a lousy start at 0.07.
