CBS is expected to win Sunday night in total viewers and adults 18-49. Its fast nationals are scrambled due to a 44-minute NCAA basketball overrun that boosted the otherwise sleepy Sunday 7-8 PM hour.
ABC’s Once Upon A Time (2.9/8 in adults 18-49, 8.6 million total viewers) was up a tenth from its 18-49 fast national last week, even with the final, which was a series low. Desperate Housewives (2.8/7, 9 million) was even with its fast national, down a tenth from the final, and posted its largest audience in four months. After a promising second-week bump, newbie GCB (2.0/5, 6.3 million) fell 13% in Week 3 to a series low.
On the flip side, after a disappointing second-season premiere, Fox’s animated comedy Bob’s Burgers (2.1/5) was up 11% in its second airing last night. Its lead-in, The Simpsons (2.4/7), was up 4%, while from 9-10 PM Family Guy (2.8/7) and American Dad (2.2/5) were flat.
NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice (1.8/4) was down 10% from last week to match the celebrity reality series franchise’s lowest demo rating ever. Harry’s Law held steady at a 1.1/3.

I’m not liking GCB at all, after giving it two tries. I say ABC should move Revenge here followed by Devious Maids or body of proof or private practice.
Harry’s law was excellent last night, but I think it should move back to wednesdays.
Dancing with the stars begins tonight!
Say goodbye to GCB, easily the most lame and irritating show o’the year.
Kiss it goodbye to GCB indeed!
After those ratings, neither Pan AM or GCB will have a future after the upfronts. ABC needs to get something going in that timeslot to make it viewable once again. Pan Am had some initial promise but slowly declined as the months went by and this GCB show is just terrible and not funny. Watch Trump claim Apprentice did the best out of all the shows last night.
300 million Americans with TVs and this is all the Networks can muster on a Sunday night. No wonder Uni leaver is heading to MIP TV in Cannes to ask the question… WTF is the point of sepnding major bucks when no one a hit now is less the 10 milllion viewers with 60 percent of them are DVR ing the shows.
I agree with Jake about GCB- I am done with that particular. The whole show began wearing thin on me very quickly. A series low 3 weeks in is not surprising at all-not in the least. In the fall,it may be a good idea for ABC to start experimenting i.e.- moving some programs around ala CBS. Sundays at 8pm are totally set with Once Upon A Time,but, the rest of Sunday nights in the fall-who knows? Devious Maids? There is no guarantee that will be any type of a ratings hit whatsoever.
I thought ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ was the highest rated show ever to be on TV. According to Donald Trump, everyone in the world watched it. Twice.
You are so right. That egomaniac Trump wants you to believe his show gets “Super Bowl numbers”. Even if you’re a billionaire, you can still be an idiot.
sadly, they should have stuck with PanAm and let the characters, and audience, grow.
DONT put my fav show, Revenge, on Sun @ 9-I had to watch DH for 8 years at that spot, maybe THE most heavily programmed timeslot in ALL TV! And Im not even considering sports and specials on then, either. Leave it on Wed, and put on some other junky show then, PLEASE, ABC?
bob’s was hilarious. show is really hitting its stride.
what? no love for GCB? how can anyone not love annie potts? the overt hipocrisy makes me giggle. the only thing missing from GCB is… jaime pressly.
Bobs is HILARIOUS!!! Great writing!
@faux pas-the ONLY thing I liked on GCB was Annie Potts & that’s my problem: I didn’t like most of the other people. Look,if you enjoy it-good for you,but, personally I found a lot of this program to be somewhat irritating IMHO.
