NBC continues to rate incredibly well during the new year, as the network was once again the most-watched for the evening among households, viewers and adults 18-49, with strong numbers from week two of the new season of The Biggest Loser and season-high numbers for the nights most-watched program Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Elsewhere on the evening, CBS’s presentation of The 38th Annual People’s Choice Awards was very negatively affected by the changed format (due to the WGA writers strike) as the program posted series low numbers (off a staggering 56% among viewers and 54% among adults 18-49 from the year prior).

The CW got some good news, as the season five premiere of One Tree Hill got off to a great start (mostly on par with last season’s premiere), giving the network a much needed ratings boost.

ABC meanwhile struggled, dropping to a very weak last place for the evening among adults 18-49, as the network failed to successfully return Carpoolers and According to Jim posted another poor showing after last week’s season premiere.  The networks coverage of The 2008 New Hampshire Primary also failed to garner many eyeballs to the network.

Fox has no trouble taking the evening thanks to the networks broadcast of the BCS National Championship Game, despite the game posting numbers well below last year’s game.

Elsewhere on the evening was the series premiere of Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann on ABC, which had a respectable debut. On NBC, episode two of American Gladiators held on to a solid portion of its series premiere numbers from the night before, and Medium premiered on par with last seasons premiere.

NBC continues to perform well with their season premieres, as the network manages a solid tie for first among households, was just 30,000 viewers away from first among total viewers, and posted a tie for first among adults 18-49.

The solid showing was due to another impressive outing from Deal or No Deal and a much-needed strong premiere for the new season of The Apprentice (The Celebrity Apprentice).

Fox meanwhile tied for first among households, but came out on top among viewers, again just slightly, and was tied for first among adults 18-49 thanks to its Orange Bowl coverage. Good news for the network was slight growth from the year prior for the bowl game.

CBS meanwhile managed to hold their own, despite airing an entire evening of repeats. In fact, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation was the nights most-watched program among both households and viewers.
