BOWLED OVER

NBC series returned with new episodes on Monday, but did viewers return with them? Surface averaged 8.6 million viewers, down a full mil from the drama's last fresh episode, while Las Vegas and Medium conducted business as usual with 11.5 and 12.1 million, respectively. Of course, NBC faced "special" competition from ABC, whose coverage of the Fiesta Bowl finale and Sugar Bowl averaged 16.8 million viewers. Elsewhere, Contra Viento y Marea (with 4.8 mil) bested Arrested Development's savage send-up of its struggles with Fox by about 500,000 viewers, while Alborada improved on that at 9 o'clock by drawing a full 4.9 million viewers. Did I mention that Univision programming is included in the Nielsens as of Jan. 1? Sí!
