ABC had a quiet Tuesday evening. The season (and likely series) finale of Skating with the Stars was an embarrassingly low 3.4 million and 0.8 demo. It's unlikely this show will ever be a filler again. Repeats of No Ordinary Family and Detroit 1-8-7 were very low but Detroit built on Family in both viewers and the demo. CBS had a very solid night of repeats, particularly from the NCIS franchise which can dominate even in repeats. The Good Wife doesn't repeat nearly as well.

NBC did ok with its combination of Minute to Win It, which was down seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week and an SNL Christmas special. The special did fairly well, particularly in the demo, for being from last year and available on DVD. NBC has had a fairly good December after a rough fall. FOX aired night two of Million Dollar Money Drop which was up in viewers from Monday's premiere and even in the demo from the 9pm edition Monday night. This is solid news for a game show that FOX hopes will be an adequate filler.
