> The only shows last night with ratings north of a 3 were reruns. FOX:  Even with weaker competition on both CBS and ABC, TERRA NOVA couldn’t climb more than 0.1 from last week’s season low, and with only 2 episodes left this season (the finale is a 2-hour special), time is running out.  HOUSE […]

ABC:  The first “midseason arc” episode of REVENGE looked almost exactly like all the other episodes, so it was fitting that the rating stayed even.  The show will now take a break from fresh episodes until the end-of-season push in April.  […]
