ABC started strong but ended weak on Tuesday night. At 8pm, Last Man Standing was down 1.5 million viewers for a series low but back up three tenths in the demo from last week's series low. Perhaps Nick Jonas skewed the demo to better numbers? Either way, this remains a real solid performer. At 8:30pm, Man Up! was down 1.8 million viewers and a tenth in the demo to a series low. ABC has yanked the remaining scheduled episodes which were going to end in December anyway. There may as well be an official cancellation announcement. After repeats, Body of Proof closed the night down a huge 2.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. What happened here? After showing some promise without a big lead-in last week, Proof collapsed this week.

CBS was in repeats but to good encore numbers at 8pm & 9pm. NBC started with a Michael Buble special that skewed old but did alright in total viewers. The Biggest Loser slid to 9pm and was down four tenths in viewers and the demo from last week's 8-10pm episode. Over on FOX, Glee started off the night down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a season low in the latter category. At 9pm, New Girl was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low in the demo. The December doldrums are hitting everywhere. At 9:30pm, Raising Hope was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.
