TV Ratings Sunday: Football Wins, Oprah’s Christmas Rates Below Brothers & Sisters

Of course, Sunday Night Football & NBC won the Sunday night ratings as usual, as NBC averaged a 5.7 adults 18-49 rating on the night, far ahead of second place CBS‘ 2.9 rating, which was itself boosted by an NFL overrun.

ABC’s Christmas In the White House special did a 2.8 adults 18-49 rating, lower than the season average for Brothers & Sisters (of 3.17).

NBC’s Sunday Night Football Game 14: Eagles vs. Giants delivered a 7.0 adults 18-49 rating/17 share from 830-11p, on par with last week’s Game 13 (Vikings vs. Cardinals) which posted a 6.8/16 in the Fast Nationals before rising to a 7.8/19 from 8:31-11:16p in the Finals.

Against a close SNF game with popular teams and no NFL overrun, the Fox line up suffered compared to their last original telecasts on 11/29. The Simpsons was down 23% to a 3.2 adults 18-49 rating. The Cleveland Show fell 9% to a 3.0 rating. Family Guy dropped 14% to a 3.8 rating. American Dad was down 6% to a 3.1 rating.

ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was up 3% from last week to a 3.1 rating. CBS’ lineup was a jumble with the NFL overrun, you can see the preliminary half hours in the table below, but making comparisons is a bit difficult until the final ratings are out this afternoon.

TV Ratings Sunday: Football Wins, Oprah’s Christmas Rates Below Brothers & Sisters




LOL.......well, when one lies down with dogs they can expect to be overwhelmed by fleas........or in Oprah's case, those who flee.

Serves her right.....the arrogance of that woman in dismissing her audience and fan base as mindless twits who would basically do as she was "suggesting" by supporting obama, was astounding.

Not that she gives a rat's hat, I'd imagine. She's much too busy helping obama and the other elites rule the world to care

Did I miss Oprah, Barry and B!tchelle's Christmas special?!? Bummer! My life is no longer worth living!!!!!!!!

Another HUGE SUPRISE! Nobody wants to watch Obama and Oprah!

Im Besides myself

Must be all these racist haters out there!!
