Week 20 (Feb. 4-10) Analysis: The first full week of sweep sees Fox with the edge so far over CBS in 18-49, but CBS will win the week by tonight. Through the first four night averages, CBS has the lead in HH/total viewers, while Fox is on top in adults 18-49. CBS is close second place in 18-49, followed by ABC, then NBC a very distant fourth. Fox is second in HH/viewers, followed by ABC. Then NBC is a distant fourth and it continues to be a long winter for them. When the week is done, CBS will come back and take the week in 18-49 thanks to the Grammys tonight. More on that later. As for last week, week 19, CBS took home first in adults 18-49 obviously with the Super Bowl, crushing second place Fox. Then ABC and NBC tied but were way back there. Among total viewers, of course CBS took that crown easily over Fox. ABC was third and NBC was back behind in fourth.

Monday saw CBS take the night over Fox. Starting with ABC, a two-hour The Bachelor from 8-10pm did 7.9 million and a 2.4 18-49 rating, which is down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week but on par in total viewers. At 10pm, Castle was new and did 8.89 million and a 1.8 18-49 rating.  For NBC, they had a two-hour The Biggest Loser from 8-10pm doing 5.8 million and a 2.1 18-49 rating, which is down two tenths in 18-49 from previous week.  At 10pm, week five of new drama dud Deception didn't do much with 3.08 million and a 1.1 18-49 rating, down another tenth in 18-49 from previous week. CBS was all-new with its comedies, as new How I Met Your Mother did 10.3 million and a 4.0 18-49 rating, which was the best of the night actually. The season premiere of Rules of Engagement at 8:30pm did 9.4 million and a 3.1 18-49 rating, which is solid but could have been better. At 9pm, a new 2 Broke Girls followed with 11.36 million and a 3.7 18-49 rating, while solid not nearly as strong as a CBS Monday anchor should be and not #1 for the block. Next, a new Mike & Molly did 10.77 million and a 3.2 18-49 rating. A new Hawaii Five-0 at 10pm did 9.86 million and a 2.3 18-49 rating, which was good for first place. Fox aired an all-new episode of Bones at 8 and it did 9.06 million and a 2.4 18-49 rating, which was down two tenths in 18-49 from previous week. At 9pm, week three of new drama The Following at 9pm did 9.01 million and a 2.9 18-49 rating, which is down four tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Very good news since it didn't go down that much with all-new airings against it. The CW aired week four of The Carrie Diaries at 8 and did 1.51 million and a 0.7 18-49 rating, which is up two tenths in 18-49 from the previous week.  At 9,90210 was new and did only 0.79 million and a 0.4 18-49 rating, on par with previous week in 18-49. Needs to be canceled.

On Tuesday, it was CBS with the win in 18-49 with its dramas just getting by ABC. On CBS, a new NCIS aired at 8 and did 21.79 million and a 3.7 18-49 rating, which is down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. Next a new NCIS: Los Angeles at 9 did 16.67 million and a 3.1 18-49 rating, on par in 18-49 with previous week. And finally at 10pm, a new episode of freshman Vegas did 10.25 million and only a 1.5 18-49 rating, which is down four tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Not good. Onto ABC, at 8pm week three of The Taste did 5.34 million and a 1.8 18-49 rating, up two tenths in 18-49 from previous week. Not too bad. At 9, ABC preempted Happy Endings for a special The Bachelor on a special night and time from 9-11pm doing a very good 7.87 million and a 2.7 18-49 rating, as it grew throughout the night. Look for the season premiere of Body of Proof at 10pm on Feb. 19, and it has a shot of winning its hour weekly. NBC preempted Betty White's Off Their Rockers from 8-9pm for Betty White's Second Annual 90th Birthday Special doing 5.95 million and a 1.4 18-49 rating, which didn't do too well. At 9pm, Go On and The New Normal were preempted for the two-hour season premiere of Smash and it got clobbered with just 4.48 million and a 1.2 18-49 rating for a series low. Not good news since it moves to 10pm this week after the struggling comedies. Fox aired comedies as a new Raising Hope at 8pm did 3.87 million and a 1.6 18-49 rating, which is down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. A second all-new episode followed and did 3.53 million and a 1.5 18-49 rating, also down a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. A new episode of New Girl followed at 9 with 4.83 million and a 2.6 18-49 rating, which is the best of the block and on par in 18-49 with previous week. At 9:30pma new The Mindy Project did 3.6 million and a 1.9 18-49 rating, up two tenths in 18-49 from previous week as it benefited with no comedy competition. The CW aired a new Hart of Dixie at 8 and did 1.44 million and a 0.6 18-49 rating, up a tenth in 18-49 from previous week. A new episode of new series Emily Owens MD at 9 did 1.5 million and only a 0.4 18-49 rating, which is on par in 18-49 with previous week. New series Cult will take over soon.
