THE SIMPSONS posted a 4.0/10 among Adults 18-49 and in the 8p half hour ranked No. 2 among Adults 18-49 and No. 1 in Adults 18-34 and Teens.  THE SIMPSONS was up +25% compared to its most recent original in Adults 18-49 (vs. 3.2/8 on 12/13/09).

At 8:30p THE CLEVELAND SHOW delivered a 3.3/8 among Adults 18-49 and ranked No. 3 in the half hour among Adults 18-49, No. 2 in Adults 18-34 and No. 1 in Teens.  Last night’s THE CLEVELAND SHOW was up +10% among Adults 18-49 compared to its most recent original on 12/13/09 (vs. 3.0/7).

At 9p FAMILY GUY posted a 3.9/9 among Adults 18-49.  FAMILY GUY ranked No. 3 in its hour among Adults 18-49, No. 2 in Adults 18-34 and No. 1 in Teens and compared to its last original airing (on 12/13/09) was up +3% in Adults 18-49 (vs. 3.8/9).

Competition
ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos (2.7/7), Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (3.3/8), Desperate Housewives (5.2/12) and Brothers & Sisters (3.6/9) all outperformed their prior season averages.

Due to an NFL overrun until 7:27p, Fast Nationals for CBS are approximate.  60 Minutes posted a 2.6/7 from 7:30-8:30p, a special NCIS repeat delivered a 1.8/5 from 8:30-9:30p and back-to-back Cold Case repeats followed from 9:30-10:30p (1.5/4) and 10:30-11p (1.5/4).

Due to the nature of live sports, Fast Nationals for NBC are approximate. In addition, note that NBC’s 7p NFL Pre-Game will be sustained by Nielsen.  Following Football Night In America at 7p (2.0/5), 730p (2.9/7) and 8p (4.5/11), NBC’s Sunday Night Football Game 17: Bengals vs. Jets delivered a 5.5/13 from 830-11p, down from last week’s Game 16 (Redskins vs. Cowboys) which posted a 6.0/16 in the Fast Nationals before rising to a 6.9/19 from 8:32-11:09p in the Finals.
