On Sunday night, the American Music Awards was strong as it was up slightly in viewers and even in the demo from last year. So far, it seems like award shows are holding steady this season. Over on CBS, there was an NFL overrun that powered the early part of the night as 60 Minutes was up 1.4 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo but down a lot from the last NFL overrun night. The Amazing Race followed and was down a tenth in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. At 9:30pm, The Good Wife was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a series low in the demo, which is not good news. CSI: Miami closed the night down two tenths in viewers and the demo, though it did bleed into the 11pm hour.

Over on NBC, the NFL game between the Eagles and Giants was not as strong as recent weeks which is somewhat surprising since NFC East games usually do very well. Over on FOX, The Simpsons was down a rough 1.7 million viewers and a bad seven tenths in the demo. Though it didn't have the NFL lead-in, this is still a troubling drop. At 8:30pm, Allen Gregory hit another low as it was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Family Guy reversed course as it was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo while American Dad! was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.
