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 didn’t fare much better, also up a mere 0.1 from its season low.
ABC: Although they didn’t equal Dancing With the Stars‘ usual rating, a combo of the classic HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS and a SHREK holiday special performed well 8-9PM. Viewers have apparently decided that YOU DESERVE IT doesn’t, and the night was rounded out by a CASTLE rerun.
CBS: Thinking of reruns, The Eye won the night with one arm tied behind its back. With an all-repeat lineup, CBS was victorious in every half-hour of the evening.
NBC: The season finale of THE SING-OFF couldn’t come soon enough for NBC, although it did manage to climb slightly for its last performance. Facing repeats on the other networks, ROCK CENTER also crept up a bit.
CW: HART OF DIXIE‘s 0.8 was nothing to shout about, but the fact that it marked an increase of 0.2 from the waning GOSSIP GIRL was at least a bit promising.
Specials continue tonight, with CBS airing an odd combination of RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER and a VICTORIA’S SECRET show (an NCIS rerun provides a break between them), and ABC substituting a rerun of THE MIDDLE for the Dancing With the Stars results show.
