Sunday night had a nice uptick for the American Music Awards. It was well above the 2012 numbers of 9.5 million/3.4 demo. It was also up slightly from the 4.3 demo in 2011 and 2010. This is good because last year's numbers were a little bit troubling and it bodes well for award shows to come. The hyped Manning/Brady showdown on Sunday Night Football did very well but actually slightly below last week as the AMAs may have had something to do with that. FOX had an NFL overrun to help their night. The Simpsons was up a big 1.2 demo points from last week's 9pm episode. Bob's Burgers was up four tenths in the demo from its last airing but way down from its lead-in. Family Guy was even from last week while American Dad! was up three tenths in the demo from its last airing.

CBS was left in the dust with nothing topping a 1.6 demo. At 7pm, 60 Minutes was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 8pm, The Amazing Race was down nine tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo for a new series low. There must be a fair amount of crossover between Amazing Race and AMA fans. At 9pm, The Good Wife was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. The hyped Red John episode of The Mentalist was up 1.2 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best numbers since the season premiere. Still if a 1.6 demo is all it can muster for a big episode, that's a sign that viewers are pretty checked out with this show.
