TV ratings: CBS is the 'Boss' of Sunday
By Rick Porter

Fast National ratings for Sunday, March 14, 2010

"Undercover Boss" carried CBS to a ratings win Sunday night, while a handful of new shows had mixed results. "The Celebrity Apprentice" got off to an OK start for NBC, building in its second hour, and game show "Minute to Win It" also grew from start to finish. FOX's "Sons of Tucson," meanwhile, was unimpressive.

CBS scored 11.35 million viewers and a 6.8 rating/11 share in households for the night, beating out ABC's 9.1 million and 5.6/9. NBC (7.1 million, 4.3/7) finished third, and FOX was off the pace a bit with 4.3 million viewers and a 2.5/4.

In the adults 18-49 demographic, CBS' 2.8 rating was good enough to take the top spot. ABC and NBC tied for second at 2.6, and FOX posted a 2.0.

Sunday hour by hour:

7 p.m.

CBS: "60 Minutes" (11.7 million viewers, 7.5/14 households)
ABC: "America's Funniest Home Videos" (7.5 million, 4.3/8)
NBC: "Minute to Win It" series premiere (4.6 million, 2.8/5)
FOX: "'Til Death" - two episodes (2 million, 1.2/2)

18-49 leader: "America's Funniest Home Videos" (1.9)

8 p.m.

CBS: "The Amazing Race" (10.2 million, 5.9/10)
ABC: "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" (8.6 million, 5.1/8)

18-49 leader: "The Amazing Race" (3.0)

9 p.m.

CBS: "Undercover Boss" (13.3 million, 7.7/12)
ABC: "Desperate Housewives" (11.8 million, 7.3/11)
NBC: "The Celebrity Apprentice" season premiere (7.4 million, 4.6/7)
FOX: "Family Guy" (6.7 million, 3.9/6)/"Sons of Tucson" series premiere (4.5 million, 2.6/4)

18-49 leader: "Undercover Boss" (3.8)

10 p.m.

CBS: "Cold Case" (10.2 million, 6.3/11)
NBC: "The Celebrity Apprentice" season premiere (9.1 million, 5.7/10)
ABC: "Brothers & Sisters" (8.7 million, 5.8/10)

18-49 leader: "The Celebrity Apprentice" (3.6)

Daylight Saving Time strikes! Against weaker than normal competition, both House and Chuck dropped 17 percent in adults 18-49 versus last week. House to a 4.0 rating and Chuck sunk to a 1.9.

With CBS in repeats other than a new episode of Rules of Engagement, and ABC running a 20/20 special on The Bachelor and a repeat of Castle, it might have been a night for FOX and NBC to feast but it was not to be. Strong performance with its reruns helped CBS to finish in second place for the night. NBC was again last of the four major broadcast networks.

24 was down from last week too, but only one-tenth of an adults 18-49 ratings point.

Even in reruns CBS’s 9pm comedy block performed. And don’t feel bad Jay Leno, you couldn’t beat repeats of CSI: Miami at 10pm, but neither could a new episode of Law & Order, which lost to the repeat and tied with a repeat of Castle.

But while things were bad for NBC and FOX at 8pm, things looked up for Life Unexpected which delivered its best numbers since it’s second week on January 25 ( women 18-34 (1.8/6), adults 18-34 (1.3/4), women 18-49 (1.4/4) and total viewers (2.11mil).

Fast National ratings for Tuesday, March 16, 2010

"American Idol's" top 12 covered the Rolling Stones Tuesday night and scored a decisive ratings win in the process. The show was down a good amount, however, from last year's first show on the big stage.

FOX averaged 22.6 million viewers and a 12.8 rating/20 share in households for the night -- the best of Tuesday by far, but off by more than 2 million viewers from the comparable show last year (25.2 million, 14.5/22). CBS (15.35 million, 9.6/16) was a solid second. There was a big drop from there to third-place NBC, which drew 6.8 million people and a 4.3/7. ABC (5.7 million, 3.5/6) came in fourth, and The CW (1.5 million, 1.0/2) trailed.

The story was pretty much the same in the adults 18-49 demographic. FOX dominated with an 8.0 rating but was down significantly from last year's 9.2. CBS was the best of the rest at 3.1, followed by NBC at 2.6. ABC averaged a 2.2 and The CW a mere 0.7.

Fast National ratings for Wednesday, March 17, 2010

"American Idol" sent its first finalist home Wednesday and delivered FOX a ratings win in the process. Not that there was much competition -- aside from "Idol," no show airing in primetime managed to grab 10 million viewers or break the 3.0 rating mark in adults 18-49.

FOX drew 14 million viewers and an 8.2 rating/14 share in households for the night. That was more than double the viewers of second-place CBS (6.9 million, 4.5/8). NBC (6.7 million, 4.4/8) was close behind in third. ABC (3.8 million, 2.6/4) came in fourth, a little ahead of The CW (3.1 million, 2.1/4).

In the adults 18-49 demo, FOX's 4.5 led the field by a wide margin. NBC took second, albeit with just a 1.8. CBS, 1.7, finished third, followed by The CW, 1.4, and ABC, 1.3.

Scripted series took a backseat to the NCAA Basketball Tournament Thursday night in both ratings and demo. ABC's "FlashForward" returned after a long hiatus and earned mediocre numbers considering that the NBC comedies were its only new non-sports programming competition.

CBS scored with its first round of the tournament, averaging 10.3 million viewers and a 6.5 rating/11 share in households for the night. NBC's comdies followed with 6.6 million and a 4.2/7. Next came ABC (5.8 million, 3.8/7), FOX (5.3 million, 3.5/6) and The CW (1.4 million, 1.0/2).

The Eye Network also nabbed the adult 18-49 demographic win, drawing a 3.7 rating. NBC followed with a 2.7, then ABC, 1.6, FOX. 1.4, and The CW, 0.6.

CBS once again claimed victory Sunday night, winning every hour in both viewers and households, but ABC's "Thin Ice" results show and the premiere of "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" left the network feeling a little hungry. Also, both NBC's "Minute to Win It" and FOX's "Sons of Tucson" dropped from their premieres a week before.

CBS averaged 13.19 million viewers for the night and an 8.0 rating/13 share, handily beating out ABC's 7.2 million and 4.6/7. NBC was next with 5.6 million and 3.4/6 and then FOX (4.5 million, 2.7/4).

The adults 18-49 demo title also stayed with CBS with a 3.7 rating, far ahead of ABC and FOX's 2.1, tied for second place. Last was NBC, 1.9

The premiere of the 10th "Dancing with the Stars" scored big ratings for ABC Monday night -- big enough to potentially challenge "American Idol" for the week's most-watched show.

"Dancing" was way up from its fall debut and also helped lead-out "Castle" score some of its highest ratings ever. CBS and NBC, meanwhile, took hits to their usual numbers.

ABC averaged 20.2 million viewers and a 12.7 rating/20 share for the night, finishing well ahead of CBS' 11 million viewers and 6.8/11. FOX (6.8 million, 4.2/6) came in third. NBC took fourth with 5.2 million viewers and a 3.3/5, and The CW (1.9 million, 1.3/2) trailed.

"American Idol" improved on its performance from last week, rising by more than a million viewers as it ran away with Tuesday's ratings crown. As things stand now, though, it trails the "Dancing with the Stars" premiere for the week's most-watched honors.

FOX scored 23.8 million viewers and a 13.3 rating/21 share in households for the night, more than doubling the viewer total for second-place CBS (10.7 million, 6.9/11). NBC (7.7 million, 4.7/8) and ABC (6.1 million, 3.8/6) both saw their fortunes rise a bit against CBS' rerun slate. The CW, per usual, brought up the rear with just 1.3 million viewers and a 1.0/2.

In the adults 18-49 demographic, FOX's 8.3 rating beat the combined total of the other four networks. CBS was the best of the rest at 2.9, followed by ABC at 2.4 and NBC at 1.9. The CW drew a 0.6.

Wednesday's ratings played out the way they typically do -- the addition of "Survivor" to the night notwithstanding -- which means that the "American Idol" results show gave FOX a sizable victory for the night.

FOX averaged 13.9 million viewers and an 8.1 rating/13 share among households in primetime. CBS, led by the NCAA tournament-displaced "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," took second with 8.9 million viewers and a 5.6/9. NBC (7.2 million, 4.7/8) beat out ABC (6.3 million, 4.1/7) for third place, and The CW trailed with 2.05 million viewers and a 1.4/2.

"Dancing with the Stars" fell off some from its premiere but still had a big night Monday, while "Castle" followed last week's series high with an even bigger audience this time around.

ABC dominated primetime with 19.9 million viewers and a 12.5 rating/20 share in households. A night of (mostly) repeats on CBS (8.3 million, 5.2/8) came in second. FOX (6.9 million, 4.3/7) came in third, ahead of NBC's 5.45 million viewers and 3.4/6. The CW (1.85 million, 1.2/2) brought up the rear.

The story was the same in the adults 18-49 demographic, where ABC's 4.9 rating was the night's best by a wide margin. CBS' 2.8 was good for second. FOX finished third at 2.2, followed by NBC, 1.8, and The CW, 0.9.

"American Idol" led Tuesday night's ratings the way it always does, while ABC had some good news and some bad news with its revamped lineup.

The good: The "Dancing with the Stars" results show performed pretty well against "Idol" and helped give "Lost" a bit of a bump over recent weeks as well. The bad: Following "Lost," the return of "V" failed to abduct many new viewers -- although it was at least stronger than "The Forgotten" had been in the time period.

FOX drew 21.3 million viewers and a 12.1 rating/19 share in households in primetime. ABC (10.5 million, 6.6/11) came in second, a little ahead of CBS (9.6 million, 6.3/10). NBC took fourth with 7 million viewers and a 4.4/7. The CW (1.3 million, 0.8/1) was in the back of the pack.

FOX dominated the adults 18-49 demographic with a 7.5 rating, more than doubling the 3.3 for ABC. NBC came in third at 2.7, followed by CBS, 1.8, and The CW, 0.7.

"American Idol" gave FOX an easy ratings victory Wednesday night, but there was otherwise very little to note on an evening when only one other show -- "Law & Order: SVU" -- even sniffed the 10 million-viewer mark.

FOX led the night by wide margin, scoring 14.1 million viewers and an 8.3 rating/14 share in households. NBC (7.3 million, 4.7/8) came in second. CBS took third with 6.6 million viewers and a 4.3/7, finishing a little ahead of ABC (5.8 million, 3.6/6). The CW drew 2.1 million people and a 1.5/3.
