Most of the other networks yielded the floor to ABC for the night.
ABC: GREY’S ANATOMY hadn’t aired a new episode, remarkably enough, since November 10, and viewers were thrilled to have it back, providing the show with a season-high 4.5. PRIVATE PRACTICE, gone since November 17, was just below its season-high at 2.7. WIPEOUT‘s 2.8 was far below last year’s 3.8 season premiere, but good enough for 2d place in its hour.
CW: THE VAMPIRE DIARIES was also new for the first time since early November, and returned in form with a terrific (for its network) 1.4. THE SECRET CIRCLE was also in form, but that meant a 0.8, still above just about every other CW series.
CBS: Champions of the reruns (of course), with a win at 8PM for the repeat BIG BANG THEORY, and 2d place showings the rest of the night.
FOX: Decent 1.1-1.2 for 2 hours of BONES repeats.
NBC: Apart from a 1.1 for the 9PM OFFICE repeat, nothing topped a 0.9.
Tonight, despite the Cotton Bowl on FOX, the other networks air all-new programming with the exception of a repeat GRIMM on NBC.
