Primetime Ratings, Friday, January 27, 2012

Another series bites the dust as Chuck aired its final episode. Whereas it was a good send-off, the computer nerd spy is surely going to be missed. The station of the night goes to CBS once again with an average of 8 Million viewers for their shows. Then again, who doesn’t like a little CSI: NY now and then?
