NBC won 3 nights in the adults 18-49 demo last week and is on track to top at least as many this week after posting a nightly victory last night with Minute to Win It and a rebroadcast of Saturday Night Live Presents: A Very Gilly Christmas. (NBC already won on Monday with the Sing-Off finale and is guaranteed to dominate Sunday with football.) At 8 PM, Minute to Win It (2.1/7 in 18-49) was down 9% from last week but finished close second in the 8 PM hour. From 9-11 PM, Gilly Christmas (2.3/7) was down 26% from its premiere airing last December but still won the time period, drawing higher ratings than ABC and CBS combined in the 10 PM hour. For the night, NBC (2.3/7, 6.3 million) was tops in 18-49 and No.2 in total viewers.

CBS (1.9/6, 10.1 million) was the most watched network and second in 18-49 with all-repeats, NCIS (2.2/7, 12.3 million), which won the 8 PM hour, NCIS: Los Angeles (2.1/6, 11.3 million) and The Good Wife (1.3/4, 6.8 million).

Fox (1.7/5, 4.8 million) was third for the night with a Glee repeat (1.3/4, 4.1 million) at 8 PM, followed by Million Dollar Money Drop (2.0/5, 5.5 million), which was flat with the 9 PM episode of the game show on its premiere night Monday.

ABC (0.8/3, 3.7 million) barely registered with Part 2 of the Skating with the Stars finale (0.8/3, 3.4 million), which was up 60%  in the demo from the underwhelming Part 1 of the finale on Monday and on par with the reality show’s deliveries for the past couple of weeks. Repeats of No Ordinary Family (0.8/2, 3.1 million) and Detroit 1-8-7 (0.9/3, 4.6 million) stayed below the 1 demo rating mark.

Ratings Rat Race: ‘Dancing’ Rocks, ‘Skating’ Disappoints While ‘Mike & Molly’ Hits Highs

UPDATE 2PM: The final Nielsen ratings for last night are in, and the Bristol Palin-fueled Dancing with the Stars (23.7 million, 4.9/13 in adults 18-49) posted the strongest results for a Dancing performance finale in six seasons, since the fifth cycle’s Monday finale in November 2007. (Dancing airs two cycles every broadcast season.) Versus last year, the show was up by 3.3 million viewers and by 23% in 18-49. The strong ratings for Dancing followed a wave of publicity surrounding Palin’s ability to escape elimination despite so-so marks from the judges and make it all the way to the finals. She was also at the center of  several threat s, including one that involved a letter laced with white powder that was received at Dancing‘s production offices over the weekend.  Meanwhile, the premiere of the Dancing spinoff Skating with the Stars wound up with a final tally of 2.4/6 and 9.4 million viewers, holding onto less than 50% of its Dancing lead-in. Other adjustments in the finals: CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 gained a tenth to a 3.3/9, while Fox’s Lie to Me dropped a tenth to a 1.7/5. Read More »
