On Tuesday night, ABC started with a repeat of Last Man Standing but the rest of the lineup was new. Cougar Town was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite a repeat lead-in this week which isn't bad but probably not good enough. At 9pm, the results edition of Dancing with the Stars was up 1.3 million viewers but down a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Private Practice's second go-round on Thursdays was much more successful than its first as it was up a strong 1.6 million viewers and half a demo point. Did people not know it was on Tuesdays last week? Either way, this is a clutch performance for a bubble show and ABC has between now an upfronts to sort out the muddled mess of Practice, Body of Proof, Scandal, and GCB. It doesn't seem likely that all of them would return. 

NBC had a very similar week to last week. At 8pm, The Biggest Loser was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The results edition of The Voice remained the top demo draw as it was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Fashion Star was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Over on FOX, Glee's Whitney Houston tribute episode was up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo while New Girl was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, which is surprising since the lead-in was up. A repeat of Girl closed out the night.
