CBS
8:00 NCIS: Los Angeles #5 "Killshot" (REPEAT)
9:00 Criminal Minds #96 "Cradle to Grave" (REPEAT)

8:00 Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
9:00 Desperate Housewives #139 "Let Me Entertain You"
10:00 Brothers & Sisters #92 "Call Mom"
ABC has its usual lineup and the female-skewing shows should not hurt it too much against a marquee NFL game and a potential Game 7 of the MLB Playoffs. Expect numbers to down some though.

Prediction: AFHV – 6.2 million, 1.4/Home Edition – 7.9 million, 2.0/Housewives – 11.9 million, 3.7/Brothers – 8.3 million, 2.4

 

CBS

7:00 60 Minutes

8:00 The Amazing Race

9:00 Undercover Boss

10:00 CSI: Miami #195 "Manhunt"

CBS will likely have some NFL overrun which will help, but it also has a more male-skewing lineup against at least one major game. These are hard to predict because it’s hard to know when they’ll start.

Prediction: 60 Mins – 13.2 million, 2.4/Amazing – 10.5 million, 3.3/Boss – 11.9 million, 3.5/Miami – 10.2 million, 2.4

 

NBC

7:00 Football Night in America

8:30 Sunday Night Football: Minnesota at Green Bay

One of the biggest games on NBC’s slate this fall is Brett Favre’s second return to Lambeau. With tons of intriguing subplots and an important NFC North game, this could deliver some of the best numbers of the season even if it’s against baseball.

FOX
7:00 MLB Pregame/MLB NLCS Playoffs Game 7: San Francisco at Philadelphia
OR
7:00 The Cleveland Show #17 "Gone with the Wind" (REPEAT)
7:30 The Cleveland Show #20 "Cleveland's Angels" (REPEAT)
8:00 The Simpsons #464 "Judge Me Tender" (REPEAT)
8:30 American Dad! #89 "A Jones for a Smith" (REPEAT)
9:00 Family Guy #127 "Road to the Multiverse" (REPEAT)
9:30 American Dad! #91 "The Return of the Bling" (REPEAT)
Depending on what happens Saturday, this could be Game 7 of the NLCS Championship. If it is, expect good numbers (but it will be dampened some by NFL). If it isn’t, expect low numbers (around 4-5 million or lower) for these reruns.
