ABC had some troubling news for its new shows on Tuesday night, particularly from lead-off No Ordinary Family, which was down over a million viewers and half a demo point from last week, easily hitting series lows. This is very troubling news for a show that showed a rebound last week from a negative trend. The show will get a try out at 9pm starting in two weeks for three episodes, is it still salvageable? The results edition of Dancing with the Stars followed and was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week. Next week's finale will obviously be big. Finally Detroit 1-8-7 was up four tenths in viewers but even in the demo. These are also troubling numbers and it may drop further when it loses its Dancing lead-in. Which drama is ABC more likely to stick with as they probably don't want to can all their new fall dramas? Hopefully it will be Detroit!

CBS had mostly steady numbers for its Tuesday lineup of dramas. Veteran NCIS was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo while its spinoff was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally, The Good Wife was down six tenths in total viewers and even in the demo. These results remain incredibly steady for CBS even when the competition is up or down.

NBC had its regular low-rated night. The Biggest Loser was up a tenth in viewers and the demo as it nears its fall edition finale. Despite the slightly stronger lead-in, Parenthood was down two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. The demo is a season low for a show that was NBC's best drama demo performer last week (at a low 2.1). How will it fare when it moves to Mondays in March? And how will Law & Order: Los Angeles fare at this slot in February?

FOX had positive news from its lineup. Glee was up seven tenths in total viewers and four tenths in the demo. The demo numbers is the best for the show since the second episode of the season as it finally hit a 5 again with guest star Gwyneth Paltrow. Raising Hope benefited from the gains and was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show clearly has a loyal audience. A rerun of Hope did ok for rerun standards and was up over a million viewers from a new Running Wilde last week. Will Wilde ever come back to the schedule when Hope repeats can do better?
