With CBS in repeats, FOX surged to surprising numbers on Tuesday night. At 8pm, Dads was up seven tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. It's a nice jump but not as impressive as what followed. Brooklyn Nine-Nine seemed to get its Golden Globes bounce a week late as it jumped 1.1 million viewers and half a demo point to its best numbers since the series premiere. This is a great showing for a show that already has momentum with its Globes win and the upcoming Super Bowl episode. At 9pm, New Girl was up six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. A week after losing to the competing The Goldbergs in the demo, it easily trounced ABC's comedy this week. New Girl's next episode will be immediately after the big game though I still think FOX should have started the post-Super Bowl hour with Brooklyn than New Girl. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was up half a million viewers and four tenths in the demo for its best numbers since November 5. It will be on hiatus now until April 1 as Glee returns to Tuesdays and Brooklyn moves to the 9:30pm slot. 

On NBC, The Biggest Loser benefited from the CBS repeats as well as it was up 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It seems like it should have gone up in the demo with a stronger lead-in and opposite a Person of Interest repeat. Finally on ABC, The Goldbergs followed a repeat of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and fell two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. The last time it followed a Marvel repeat, it held up very well but not so much this time. At 9:30pm, Trophy Wife was down a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Yet another new ABC show slips below the 1.0 demo line. Speaking of which, week three of Killer Women was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. ABC will now premiere Mind Games two weeks earlier, limiting Women's run to six weeks.
