ABC was all new on Sunday night. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo as it will be on the move to Fridays next season. How will it do there and can new entry Once Upon a Time match or exceed these numbers? At 9pm, a two hour season finale of Desperate Housewives was even in viewers and up two tenths in the demo. The show will finally be used to launch a new drama again next fall - the 1960s soap Pan Am.

CBS had a good night thanks to the season finale of Survivor: Redemption Island and the clip show reunion. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down 2.1 million viewers and six tenths in viewers from last week's episode which featured an interview with President Obama. At 8pm, the finale of the latest edition of Survivor was just slightly below last fall's finale while the reunion show was pretty much dead even with last fall's numbers. Over a decade old and this reality franchise is still going strong.

NBC didn't have much to talk about on Sunday night. At 7pm, Dateline NBC was up 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week. At 8pm, Minute to Win It didn't do any better than it does on Wednesday night. At 9pm, Celebrity Apprentice was down six tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. The finale is a week away but it appears that the Survivor competition hurt this show's chance to get back to the level it was at recently.

FOX was all new from 7:30-10pm with its animated sitcoms. At 7:30pm, American Dad! was up six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it will make the move back to 9:30pm next fall. At 8pm, The Simpsons was up half a million viewers but even in the demo. It was followed by Bob's Burgers which was up four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The demo is its best since March 27. At 9pm, Family Guy was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo but remained the demo standout in the lineup. Finally, The Cleveland Show was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it will be sliding up to the troublesome 7:30pm slot next fall.
