Competition
Due to the nature of live sports, Fast Nationals for ABC from 7-7:30p are approximate. Following a NASCAR Dickies 500 overrun (1.8/5) at 7p, ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos (1.9/5) and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (3.0/7) each matched their lowest ratings of the season, while Desperate Housewives (4.3/10) and Brothers & Sisters (2.9/8) established new season lows, falling -14% and -12% from their last telecasts, respectively.

Due to an NFL overrun in the 7p hour, Fast Nationals for CBS are approximate. 60 Minutes delivered a 3.9/10 from 730-8p, while the Amazing Race 15 combined with 60 minutes to post a 3.5/9 from 8-9p, Three Rivers combined with The Amazing Race to deliver a 2.3/5 from 10-11p, and Cold Case combined with Three Rivers to post a 1.7/5 from 10-11p.

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 (2.6/7), 730p (4.1/11) and 8p (5.6/14), NBC’s Sunday Night Football Game 8: Cowboys vs. Eagles delivered a 7.6/19 from 830-11p, up from Game 7 (Cardinals vs. Giants) on Sunday 10/25/09, which posted a 5.2/13 in the Fast Nationals before rising to a 5.9/15 from 8:31-11:42p in the Finals.
