ABC has some big problems on Sunday night. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was steady as always as it was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 8pm, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. How will it fare when it moves to Fridays? My guess is not too much worse in total viewers but lower in the demo. At 9pm, Desperate Housewives was down six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is a series low and the demo number is nearing that number. Looks like this show may not peak as its finale near. Finally, ABC has trouble at 10pm where Pan Am was down another 1.4 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo. In two weeks, it has dropped a huge 4.7 million viewers and 1.2 demo points - the worst for any new show. After a promising start, this period drama may be grounded soon.

CBS had football overrun for a second week in a row but it did not help the rest of the night as much. At 7:35pm, 60 Minutes was down 3.8 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from last week's episode, which started at 7:23pm. It was followed by The Amazing Race, which was down 1.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo, somewhat of a rough drop. Next, The Good Wife was down eight tenths in viewers and just a tenth in the demo. It's really not doing any worse on Sunday than it did on Tuesday. Finally at 10pm, CSI: Miami was down just a tenth in viewers but two tenths in the demo. NBC aired a game between the Packers and Falcons, which was up nicely from last week's Jets-Ravens contest. FOX's baseball game was rained out and it filled the night with low-rated repeats.
