- All the networks were at or near full strength on the last night before an 18-day Winter Olympics interruption. The biggest winner was the 200th episode of CBS' Criminal Minds (2.8), surging over 25% vs. its last original and tying its season high. It surely helped out CSI (2.0), fully recovering from a series low last week.
- Almost everything else was pretty steady, including American Idol (3.9), which scored its first week-to-week growth of the season. NBC's crime lineup of Law and Order: SVU (1.8) and Chicago PD (1.7) held up nicely opposite the surging CBS. A couple noticeable downturns: ABC's Nashville (1.3), back at a tie for a series low, and the CW's The Tomorrow People (0.5), suggesting that last week's uptick was just a blip.
