- We'll start with Law & Order: LA, whose revamp and promotional blitz produced a mere 1.5 demo, lower than anything in the fall run. That would certainly seem to be a bad sign. And it's another strike against my seemingly well-thought out "Do hiatuses kill shows?" post. The Event dropped 26% across its hiatus, and now LOLA's gone down 32% from its last pre-hiatus original 131 days ago. (Though to be fair, most of LOLA's later episodes were lower than the 2.2 the show spiked to for its last ep.)
- But LOLA was far from the only show to receive bad news on the evening. House, The Chicago Code and Dancing with the Stars were all double-digits below average, but the real disaster areas happened on NBC (where Chuck (1.3) was at horrific series-low levels and a whooping 29% below average and, well, we already talked about LOLA) and CBS (where the entire lineup hit outright season lows and finished 20%+ below average). How I Met Your Mother and House both hit their lowest numbers since their first seasons.
- The only remotely positive result in broadcast primetime was Castle, which dropped a tick in finals but still posted one of its strongest results of the season.
