Fast National ratings for Wednesday, Dec. 23, 2009
CBS' "11th Annual Home for the Holidays" adoption-awareness special hosted by Faith Hill and NBC's hour of "Jay Leno" were the only fresh programming for Wednesday night, but it was CBS' reruns of crime procedurals that eventually gave it the ratings win.
CBS topped the evening with 8.9 million viewers and a 5.7 rating/10 share in households, significantly ahead of second-place finisher ABC with 4.9 million viewers and a 3.0/5. This was followed by Fox (3.72 million, 2.3/4), ABC (3.65 million, 2.3/4) and The CW (737,000, 0.5/1).
CBS also took the 18-49 adult demo title, but just barely. Its 1.7 rating was just ahead of ABC's 1.6 from its slate of comedy reruns (and one Grinch that appealed to adult viewers as well). Fox had a 1.3, NBC a 0.9 and The CW brought up the rear with a 0.3.
Wednesday hour by hour:

When I'm offered a dinner with director Mike Judge, there's very little convincing needed.
Not only is Judge responsible for the underrated comedy "Extract" (available on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday, Dec. 22) but he's also the sly genius behind Fox's Emmy-winning "King of the Hill," the 1990s iconic cartoon "Beavis and Butt-head" and one of the best workplace comedies of all time, "Office Space."
It was a cool December evening when my fellow reporters and I descended upon Joe's Restaurant in Venice, Calif., where a custom-designed four-course tasting menu with wine pairings awaited us. With the help of champagne, the conversation kicked off with talk of Comic-Con, which Judge said was filled with "very likable nerds."
Speaking of nerds ...
I am one for taking this picture. Yes, I was seated next to Mike Judge. Okay, my name is misspelled, but still -- Mike Judge!
Our humble director probably caught on »

Nick Jonas stood up for his brother Kevin at Kevin's wedding over the weekend, and in a couple of weeks he'll be standing in for a slightly older pop-culture icon: Regis Philbin.
Jonas will co-host "Live with Regis and Kelly" on Jan. 8. That's six days after he embarks on a tour with his new band, Nick Jonas & the Administration, and a few weeks before the band's album goes on sale. The "Live" gig will be his first stab at hosting a talk show.
Philbin is on leave from the show while he recovers from hip surgery.
- Starz has given a second-season pickup to its series "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" -- a month before the show begins its first season.
The pickup allows the series, which is produced by Sam Raimi and is based on the Roman gladiator who led a slave revolt, to go back into production early next »

For me, it was a toss-up between The Office and Modern Family this year. The Dundler-Mifflin Christmas party was sort of like Halloween in that the outfits were so festive they could have counted as costumes. Stanley the mailman's Christmas sweater was the best, though the Dunphys' knit-based monstrosities on Modern Family, issued on high via webcam from half of Fred Willard's face, were a bit louder. Don't miss this holiday greetings e-card from 20th Century Fox, featuring two executives posing as a Modern Family married couple along with confessionals from the real Mf cast. There were follies aplenty »
