- ABC had a particularly big Friday return, riding big guest turns on Last Man Standing (1.6) and Cristela (1.3). For Last Man, which had Tim Allen's Home Improvement co-star Patricia Richardson, it was the biggest rating since the season two finale in March 2013. And Roseanne's stint on Cristela tied the series premiere rating from October. Shark Tank (1.9) and 20/20 (1.4) were pretty close to average, but still up from the most recent results.
- Fox's strong opening week of 2015 finally hit a bit of a speed bump with a low start for the final season of Glee (0.8 at 8:00 / 0.7 at 9:00). This was 60%+ below last season's premiere, but it wasn't that far behind where it settled for its miserable Tuesday run last spring. (And hey, it was up from the 0.6 finale!)
- CBS was nearly as impressive as ABC, with Undercover Boss (1.5) and Hawaii Five-0 (1.5) each inching up from their already impressive returns a week ago. The 100th Blue Bloods (1.4) was flat at last week's season high.
- And the week before the return of NBC's original dramas, the network removed its second hour of Dateline in favor of a very little-watched Golden Globes preview (0.5) at 10/9c.
