>On Thursday the February sweep will begin and suddenly original episodes will abound on the network schedules. In the meantime, we have a night like last night where FOX was the only broadcast network with a full slate of fresh episodes.

FOX again was the only network to show up last night with a full schedule of original episodes. Glee bounced back to relatively high levels for this season, while New Girl and Raising Hope were at recent levels (closer to season lows). Last year on this night, FOX aired a Glee repeat (1.7) at 8 pm followed by Million Dollar Drop (1.8).

NBC’s Biggest Loser turned in a disappointing number, considering it was facing mostly repeats on CBS and ABC. Parenthood, a show that has never repeated well, came in under a 1 rating and even lower (one tenth of a rating point) than the disastrous Rock Center on Monday. Last year on this night: Biggest Loser (3.3) from 8-10 pm and Parenthood original (2.2).

ABC had two repeat episodes of Last Man Standing in the 8 pm hour (1.5 in the regular time period and 1.7 at 8:30), which didn’t help Celebrity Wife Swap (setting a season low). Last year on the same night: No Ordinary Family (1.1), V (1.7) and Detroit 187 (1.2).
