* At 8:30 p.m. ET, a second telecast of "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" (1.8/5 in 18-49, 6.0 million viewers overall) tied for the show's second-highest 8:30 rating ever, behind only this season's time-slot premiere (1.9 on January 8). Last night's 8:30 "Rockers" ranked #2 in the time period among ABC, CBS, NBC & Fox in adults 18-49, finishing within 0.3 of the slot lead among those networks. Versus its lead-in, the 8:30 "Rockers" grew by 13 percent in 18-49 rating and 6 percent in total viewers.

* From 10-11 p.m. ET, "Parenthood" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 4.8 million in total viewers) ranked #1 in the hour over the drama competition on ABC and CBS in adults 18-49 and other key demographics, making this the seventh straight "Parenthood" to out-rate the ABC and CBS drama competition in the slot in 18-49. Note that CBS's "Vegas" was in rebroadcast last night.

* From its first half-hour to its second, "Parenthood" maintained its 18-49 rating and grew by 5 percent in adults 25-54 (2.2 vs. 2.1) and 4 percent in total viewers (4.9 million vs. 4.7 million), while the ABC and CBS competition declined half-hour to half-hour in each of those measures. In the 10:30 lead-in to local news, "Parenthood" delivered a 22 percent margin of victory in the key news demo of adults 25-54 (with a 2.2 rating vs. a 1.8 for ABC's second-place "Private Practice"), up from a 5 percent margin from 10-10:30 (2.1 vs. 2.0 for "Private Practice").
