In the 10 p.m. hour, 'Weakest Link' (0.32, +0.08) improved significantly after taking a week off. On Fox, 'Stars on Mars' (0.17, -0.01) dipped some more, but 'Crime Scene Kitchen' (0.19, +0.01) grew by a hundredth. ABC had another strong rerun of 'Celebrity Family Feud' (0.37), but most of that audience was gone by the time repeats of 'The Wonder Years' (0.19/0.13) rolled around. At 10, a 'Hip Hop at 50' special (0.13) placed dead-last in its slot. CBS went with reruns of 'NCIS' (0.21), 'NCIS: Hawai'i' (0.21), and 'NCIS: Los Angeles' (0.22). On the CW, 'The Rising' (0.03, -0.02) crumbled, but 'Barons' (0.02, 0.00) held even for its final episode. The latter is being pulled off the air in favor of 'Nancy Drew' reruns.
