Those predicting downward adjustments for 90210 and Remodeled might be disappointed since there were no 18-49 adjustments versus Tuesday night's preliminary ratings. There were several adjustments to the encores, including a 0.4 bump up for The Big Bang Theory repeat and a 0.1 increase for American Idol.
Because the State of the Union Address/Response didn't contain advertising it was sustained (Nielsen-ese for "it's not counted in the ratings averages") and are not included below because I didn't see them -- but you can see the aggregate final numbers for the address here.
