NBC was the All-Star Celebrity Apprentice (1.7/4) network last night. New and encore episodes of the Donald Trump-hosted reality series made up the network’s entire Sunday night. The two-hour second episode, which saw the distinctly not A-listers head to Universal Studios Orlando, was flat with the final numbers of last week’s lowest-ever season premiere. NBC started the night with a repeat (0.8/2) of last week’s two-hour All-Star Celebrity Apprentice season premiere.
Another series’ second week was not as merciful. The one-hour second week of ABC’s Red Widow (1.2/3) saw the highly promoted family mob drama perilously fall 20% from its two-hour March 3 premiere. America’s Funniest Home Videos (1.4/4) started off the night for ABC, tumbling 18% from last week. While it didn’t fall, last night didn’t bring any good news for Once Upon A Time (2.2/6). Flat with last week’s show, the fantasy drama was tied for a series low. Back after three weeks, Revenge (2.0/5) rose 11% from its last original.
On CBS, 60 Minutes (1.6/5) was flat with its March 3 airing, while The Amazing Race (2.3/7) slipped 8% from last week; 60 Minutes was the most watched show of the night with an audience of 11.35 million. After last week’s 23% rise from its previous airing, The Good Wife (1.5/4) dipped 6% from its March 3 show. At 10 PM, The Mentalist (1.6/7) bopped up 7% from last week’s show.
Fox kicked off its Sunday animation block with a repeat of Bob’s Burgers (0.9/3). That was followed by a new American Dad (1.6/5), which was down 16% from its last original February 16, which aired at 9:30 PM not 7:30 PM. The Simpsons (2.2/6) and The Cleveland Show (1.8/5) were both even with last week. A new Family Guy (2.6/7) was up 8% from its last original February 17. The Seth MacFarlane-produced show was the night’s highest-rated program in the key 18-49 demo. A new Bob’s Burgers (1.8/4) closed out the night, up 6% from last week.
With 9.770 million watching on the first Sunday of Daylight Savings, CBS won the night in total viewers and tied with Fox for the top spot in adults 18-49.

How is it that Once Upon A Time is flat, Revenge is up, and Red Widow is down despite being smack dab between them both? Is it that bad?
Was it really necessary to say who got fired from “Celebrity Apprentice” in order to discuss the ratings? =/
…and we just set a new low in the “Don’t Spoil Me Bro” sweepstakes…
Seems like a good thing that Red Widow is a short run. And ABC should run from it. Awful
With Family Guy setting the bar at a 2.6, those are pathetic numbers all around. Only 4 programs managed to break over a 2.0. It seems like the animation domination block has lost a lot of steam. FOX still tied for first place but I bet they’re surprised the network they are tied with was CBS. So, there’s not much you can say for ABC and NBC. It appears ABC’s Sunday lineup has been decimated by all the big seasonal specials ABC put them up against in January and February and NBC is basically a “0.8″ kind of network. It’s becoming all too commonplace for NBC to have a program hit a zero point something low almost every single night.
The two lead characters Marta/Actress Radha Mitchell & villian-foe Schiller/Actor Goran Visnjic in RED WIDOW are the iceing on the cake (to me): their brilliant-intense chemistry makes the show in this new TV Drama-Crime Mystery. It’s on the edge energy and has potential and I would like to see/learn why there’s a feud between the Schiller and Petrov families. Looking forward to future episodes and hope RED WIDOW gets the go ahead for Season 2!!
Obvious network plant. Put your resources towards making better shows. Put less resources on having staffers shill on message boards.
Please don’t take the Red Widow off!!!! I love this show it’s so interesting. The reason most of the ratings are down on about all of the shows are because of the Jodi Arias trial most people are mesmerized by this trial and watch it day and night. I too am guilty, however I watch the Red Widow on Demand. Please don’t cancel anything until after the trial is over and you have a chance to see how well they can stand on their own!!!!!
I hope the show makes it is a great show. Too bad is not on USA where they have higher quality programs.
i wish donald trump could switch to fox,abc or cbs,after nbc on snl,made fun of christ i wont watch nbc.
I’m not watching NBC either. But only because their programming is awful.
BTW-SNL did not make fun of Jesus. It was a lame sketch that was reminiscent of what Family Guy did in 2005 with Mel Gibson’s “sequel” “Passion of the Christ 2: Crucify This”.
Many Biblical scholars agree that Jesus had a profound sense of humor which is implied in the Gospel of Matthew and you will find Jesus’ humor in the Gospel of John when he meets Nathaniel, one of his apostles.
So basically – lighten up.
Red Widow is finished as I expect this show to be gone in the next two weeks as it is hurting the entire lineup and could hurt local affiliates’ newscasts in the process. Regarding Donald Dump, watch him claim his show was #1 on all fronts and maybe time for NBC to cancel this crap in May and never bring it back again. It’s getting old and stale and doesn’t work anymore.
Well…Trump, like Romney, insults the 47%. Romney, you’re not hired and Trump, you’re fired dude.
Yea, its pretty bad. Not very likeable characters, with a been there done that plot.
