ABC had mixed results with its Sunday night. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo from last week and this seems to be about where the show is every week which isn't bad for a show that's over 20 years old. At 8pm, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was up a strong 3.2 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo compared to last week when it aired against the Grammys. The viewer total is a season high but now Makeover will take a break for the Oscars next week and then six weeks of new show Secret Millionaire. At 9pm, Desperate Housewives was up 1.4 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's episode against the Grammys. It was a nice jump but actually not as high a jump as it should have been for this aging series. At 10pm, Brothers & Sisters was up just half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's lows and that should definitely have been a higher jump. If there's any show that ABC needs to move elsewhere, it's this one.

CBS's lineup was back in tact for the first time since December. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down seven tenths in viewers and a rough six tenths in the demo to a 1.4. While no one would expect this veteran show to do as well as it does in the fall following football, CBS would probably like the demo to be a bit higher. At 8pm, The Amazing Race returned for its newest edition but it's numbers were way down from its fall premiere numbers. We'll have to see how it performs in the coming weeks but it's hard to compare it to the fall when it often followed a much stronger 60 Minutes that was following football. At 9pm, Undercover Boss was down a rough 2.9 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo from its last new airing on January 16, but that was on a night that CBS aired a divisional playoff game but it was still a season low in the demo. Finally at 10pm, CSI: Miami was down 1.5 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from its last airing, also on January 16. Overall, CBS is much more average on this night without a football powered lead-in, but these numbers are probably close to what it will get this spring.

NBC had a quiet Sunday night. At 7pm, Dateline NBC was six tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's two hour edition while two SNL specials, one a repeat and one a new special, delivered so-so results. FOX aired its regular animated lineup. Following a Simpsons rerun, the recently renewed American Dad! aired at 7:30 and was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's lows. These numbers aren't horrible for a 7:30pm show. At 8pm, The Simpsons was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while Bob's Burgers was up the same. Bob's Burgers just doesn't seem to be doing much with a decent lead-in, it hasn't caught on yet. At 9pm, Family Guy was up six tenths in viewers and also a tenth in the demo, winning its half-hour in the demo against the likes of Desperate Housewives and Undercover Boss. At 9:30pm, The Cleveland Show was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, the only show to go up more than a tenth in the demo from last week.
