- The shows I said last week would be most affected by Valentine's Day were the only ones that showed any significant post-Valentine's bounce-back: The Vampire Diaries, a two-hour American Idol and Grey's Anatomy, which was up multiple tenths despite facing Idol.
- Most other shows didn't really bounce back at all, including the CBS lineup, while a couple were some were actually down: Community, week two of Zero Hour and, most surprisingly, the Parks and Recreation wedding. I would say this is a worrisome result for Parks, yet it was still the highest-rated comedy on NBC this week. And they aired four original hours!!
