CBS returned to regular programming last week. Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage returned after two weeks off, down two hundred thousand viewers. The show is in no danger and will easily be renewed. Matlock returned, up two hundred thousand viewers. Poppa's House picked up one hundred thousand more viewers over its last new episode, while NCIS: Origins was up three hundred thousand viewers. The Summit wrapped its first, and likely only, season up one hundred thousand viewers. Tracker lost half a million viewers last week, but it's in no danger.

NBC once again ran mostly holiday specials and football last week. St Denis Medical picked up another hundred thousand viewers. Its chances for renewal are looking very good. Brilliant Minds was up a few tens of thousands. Its renewal chances are far less likely. Night Court was also down a few tens of thousands but should be renewed. The Irrational was basically even with the previous week, but still low. Fans should be concerned. Brilliant Minds, Irrational, and Found are all low-hanging fruit for cancellation.
