It was a pretty standard Sunday night. With FOX's stronger cartoons in repeats, only two shows went above a 2.0 demo. CBS was all new with its regular lineup. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down from last week when it directly followed the Masters. However it was up from the usual numbers for the spring probably due to more coverage from the Boston bombing. At 8pm, The Amazing Race was down six tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, The Good Wife was down 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. This show does better at 10pm. It's time to move it there. At 10pm, The Mentalist was up 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week when it aired at 10:57pm. FOX had a mix of repeats and originals. The Cleveland Show was down half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Bob's Burgers was actually up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite following a repeat this week. This show has developed its own audience. American Dad! was down four tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo.

Over on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was down half a million viewers and even in the demo from its last new episode. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a new series low. What is happening to this show? It has been falling apart the last couple months. ABC might want to hold off on that spinoff for now. A Hallmark Hall of Fame movie at 9pm skewed old as usual. On NBC, Celebrity Apprentice was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Broadcast networks have had a tough time on Sundays this season with cable competition from (at various points) Game of Thrones, Mad Men, The Walking Dead, The Bible, Downton Abbey, and Vikings.
