>An incredibly quiet final Tuesday of 2011 last night on the broadcast networks, with CBS’s 1.4 rating leading the pack.  Last year on this night, NBC had an incredible performance from a rescheduled Sunday Night Football game, which was moved to Tuesday because of a roof collapse (from heavy snow) in Indianapolis.

             Nightly Adult 18-49 Rating
Tuesday      CBS    ABC    NBC    FOX
12.27.2011   1.4    1.3    0.8    0.8
12.28.2010   1.6    1.0    7.8    1.3

CBS had another solid repeat rating from NCIS at 8 pm.  The night would have been fine if the 9 and 10 pm dramas repeated, but instead the night was derailed by the 34th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, which could only muster a 1.1 rating, down from last year’s 1.5.

ABC averaged a 1.3 rating last night with some acceptable repeat performances throughout the night: Last Man Standing (1.5), Last Man Standing (1.5), The Middle (1.4), Suburgatory (1.2) and Body of Proof (1.1), with each show up from last week except the 8:30 Last Man.  Last year on this night: Rudolph’s Shiny New Year (1.1), No Ordinary Family (0.9) and Detroit 187 (0.8). 

NBC repeated its normal schedule last night, with the “Where Are They Now” episode of Biggest Loser at 8 pm and Parenthood at 10 pm both struggling below a 1 rating.   

FOX viewers continue to completely resist repeat telecasts, with Glee sinking all the way down to a 0.7 rating.  Last year on this night: Glee repeat (1.3) and Glee special repeat (1.4).
