Fox won the night with adults 18-49 led by New Girl which was steady vs. its last original with a 3.0 adults 18-49 rating. Raising Hope was also even with its last telecast with a 2.1 adults 18-49 rating. I Hate My Teenage Daughter was down 20% from its last telecast in December (which had an X Factor lead in) to a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating. Fox will say that Breaking In was up 31% from last year's season finale to a 1.7 adults 18-49 rating, but...retentionista and non-retentionista alike will not love those numbers. On balance I'd guess Fox is happy that Raising Hope held up OK at 8pm and that New Girl did fine without Glee as its lead-in.
I Hate My Teenage Daughter didn't exactly hit the ball out of the park with a 1.6 adults 18-49 rating, but unless or until any adjustments are made in the finals, it can claim head-to-head adults 18-49 supremacy over Cougar Town which was down 6% to a series-low 1.5 adults 18-49 rating. The River was steady (albeit at its low) with a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating.
The Biggest Loser was down 5% to a season-low 1.9 adults 18-49 rating (but please see disclaimer in red at the top of the post).
CW's 90210 returned with its first original in four weeks and was steady with adults 18-49 with a 0.7 rating and was also steady with adults 18-34 and women 18-34 vs. its last original. Ringer was up a tenth with adults 18-49 to a 0.5 rating. and had its best rating with women 18-34 (0. since November 29.
