The first night of 2014 was the last of the network holiday blahs.
CBS: The Eye’s reruns scored better than anyone else’s, sparked by 1.3 for CRIMINAL MINDS.
ABC: CBS took the night, but MODERN FAMILY was the evening’s highest rated rerun at 1.5.
NBC: SVU was on top with 1.0.
FOX: For the second consecutive night, a DADS rerun topped the network’s other offerings with 0.8. If only anyone watched the new episodes…
CW: Reruns of ARROW and THE TOMORROW PEOPLE both at 0.3.
On cable, preliminary household numbers for ESPN showed a strong New Year’s for college bowl games, with a 5.3 for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl on New Year’s Eve (featuring Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M against Duke and 100 total points scored), and on New Year’s Day, 11.2 for the Michigan vs. Stanford Rose Bowl (up 17% from last year’s game), and 7.1 for the Central Florida vs. Baylor Fiesta Bowl (up 9%).
Things begin to get back to normal tonight, with fresh programming on NBC, CBS and ABC. For NBC, the major event is the return of the Dan Harmon-ed COMMUNITY, while ABC debuts two short-run series, reality show THE TASTE and CIA docudrama THE ASSETS.

RIP, Nikita. CW: Nobody cared very much about NIKITA while it aired, and its series finale, virtually buried on a holiday week Friday (Univision topped all the English-language networks last night), got just as little attention. It held its 0.2 from last week, the same rating as the CARRIE…
