The final competition of “Dancing with the Stars” on ABC was the most viewed show last week, but NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” topped the key 18-49 demo. CBS, however, won the overall Household ratings race with its stable of scripted shows, including lots of crime dramas. Fox, we would note, placed only two shows in the top 20 for HH, but won the 18-49 demo with six shows in the top 20.
For the 18-49 demo, Fox won with a 2.6 average rating and 8 share. CBS and NBC tied at 2.5/7, with ABC 2.4/7, Univision 1.2/4, Telemundo 0.5/1, TeleFutura and CW 0.4/1, Ion 0.3/1 and Azteca America 0.1/0.
In HH CBS was at 6.4/11, ABC 5.6/10, NBC and Fox 4.1/7, Univision 1.6/3, Ion and CW 0.8/1, Telemundo and TeleFutura 0.5/1 and Azteca America 0.1/0.
Here are the week’s top 20 shows.
