Not much good news for anyone–including the night’s winner.
FOX: The network ran the table 8-10PM, but with ugly numbers: GLEE and NEW GIRL both set season lows, and RAISING HOPE was just 0.1 above its low. For the first time in quite a while, Glee was below a 3 rating.
ABC: LAST MAN STANDING was up from last week, although its 2.6 was still just 0.2 above that season low. MAN UP!, on its way out, hit a new low. Reruns of THE MIDDLE and SUBURGATORY averaged a 1.2, even lower than Middle had done last week. BODY OF PROOF also set a new low, with an awful 1.5 for a new episode.
NBC: Hardly anyone wanted to celebrate Christmas with Michael Buble, as his special managed only a 1.5. After that, BIGGEST LOSER perked up to a 2.2, which was down from last week but still above other recent episodes.
CBS: An all rerun night, with NCIS way down from last week’s repeat (2.1 vs 2.9). Notably, though, the repeat UNFORGETTABLE managed to beat the new Body of Proof on ABC.
CW: 90210, unlike Gossip Girl, is still holding its own in CW terms with a 0.8. RINGER was a repeat.
Tonight will be the first with regular schedules, no specials or repeats, in a while. The number to watch will be the 2d episode of FOX’s I Hate My Teenage Daughter, this time airing against new episodes on the other networks.
