What follows are the fast affiliate results for Sunday, Jan. 20 overall by network and by half-hour in the order of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and the CW. Note: Results for Fox were not available in the 10 p.m. hour, so the remaining shows were not ranked.
Wow...it looks like FOX is back in the game. It looks like they'll average over 20 million viewers for the week. Is this the biggest week for FOX, besides the Super Bowl? I don't remember seeing numbers like those before, even with American Idol. Does anyone know what show FOX plans to show after the Super Bowl game? If the strike doesn't end soon, I bet FOX can compete with CBS with the poor programming that CBS has. Kudos to FOX BTW, what kinda plays were the Packers running in the second half? They could of done a lot better. Sad ending for the season, hopefully next year they can compete again.

FOX is planning an episode of House after the big game if the information out there is still correct.

Too bad the #'s were a little low for TAR, but it was a really good finally. I wish Gramps/Skippy would have won, but for a guy who is 69 yrs old he performed really well. I can't wait until the next season. BTW does anyone know what is going on with the next installment? Whether they are taping it yet or have done any casting.
The CW may have hit an all-time network low with those numbers last night (MyNetworkTV has been lower, however).
ABC is to be commended for getting a salvageable A18-49 number with their skedding of the fresh 2-hour Extreme Makeover episode.
And the CBS news documentary on Global Warming got a pretty decent viewership and demo given that probably every single viewer that watched their playoff championship game switched over to FOX.
NBC got nondescript ratings for a nondescript line-up.

I agree those are not bad numbers for TAR considering. The demo number is higher than it was many weeks last spring. As for the conclusion, yes it was entertaining and gramps actually id well last night, it was Jr that lost the race for them. I say time to take him to the wood shed gramps.
This could be the highest rated SB ever, or at least the most watched. Of course a lot will depend on whether the Giants can hang. Well, in any case, even the low rated Super Bowls average close to 90 million so no crying for FOX or the NFL either way.
Forget the final score - how many shots of Papa Manning burying his face in his arms do you think we will see during the Super Bowl? I'll say 14 .

IDK if it is luck that they have Idol and payed more money for the NFL than the GDP of some third world countries.
As for CBs they are in no more trouble than ABC and NBC, all the nets other than FOX are losing big time. Actually, FOX is losing as well because of the strike. Imagine if FOX could combine these numbers with a full slate of House, Bones and 24. The strike really hurts the enrire industry.
