People will watch anything over an episode of CHUCK.
NBC: Facing nothing but repeats, a new Chuck could do no better than 4th place in its hour with a sad 0.8. The GRIMM repeat did half the rating of the CSI MIAMI repeat at 9, but a new DATELINE did manage to win the hour at 10PM with a 1.2.
FOX: The repeat KITCHEN NIGHTMARES won the first hour, but at 9PM a FRINGE rerun plummeted to 0.4.
CBS: Steady, with its reruns all within 0.9-1.2.
ABC: A run of the first CHRONICLES OF NARNIA picture managed a 1.0 for the night.
CW: Repeat, off-night SECRET CIRCLEs could only muster a 0.3.
Tonight, thanks to New Year’s Eve, ABC will be all-new with Dick Clark specials, and NBC will have Carson Daly for a fresh hour at 10PM. Sunday sets up as a very big night for NBC: against reruns on all the other networks (including 3 back-to-back Once Upon A Times on ABC), the Peacock has an all-the-marbles showdown for the last NFL playoff spot between Dallas and the NY Giants.
Happy New Year from The Sked!
