CBS still does well with reruns...
American Idol was down from last week but it managed to win its hour and give Glee a boost for the best overnight ratings of the season. On ABC, Grey's Anatomy was up from last week and led the hour in the demographic while both 30 Rock and Beauty and the Beast improved. The latter show had its best rating in over two months.
