ABC was new on Tuesday night starting with No Ordinary Family which was up a decent 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. The viewer total is the best since January 18 and while it might be making an eleventh hour push, its failed is almost sealed especially with an original episode airing this Saturday night. It was followed by a Best in Film special that performed adequately and on par or above recent Tuesday entries V and Detroit 1-8-7. The results edition of Dancing with the Stars and series premiere of Body of Proof will air next Tuesday.

CBS won across the board with its drama lineup. At 8pm, NCIS was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing three weeks ago. However, it's kind of surprising it didn't go up in the ratings with Glee being a repeat. It was followed by NCIS: Los Angeles which was up nine tenths in viewers but also even in the demo. Finally, The Good Wife was up three tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo despite very little competition. CBS needs to find a new slot for this critically acclaimed show where the demo performance won't be as glaring.

NBC was new from 8-10pm with The Biggest Loser which was even in viewers but up three tenths in the demo for its best performance since February 8. Loser remains one of NBC's strongest demo draws. A low rated Parenthood repeat closed out the night. FOX started things off with repeats of Glee and Raising Hope. It was followed by a new Traffic Light which bombed big time and was down down nine tenths in viewers and half a demo point for easy series lows. Will FOX really keep this on the air after it lost a ton of Raising Hope's REPEAT audience? This is another sitcom bomb for FOX.
