On Sunday night, CBS had the fall edition finale of The Amazing Race. Up first for them though was 60 Minutes which was down big from last week's football-infused edition, but it did hit a season high among the weeks with no direct football lead-in. At 8pm, the 23rd finale of Race was down 1.1 million viewers and even in the demo. It hit a series low for a finale as this franchise has been showing its age this season. At 10pm, The Mentalist was up four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while starting an hour earlier. This was a season high for a show that's been having a small renaissance in recent weeks which is helping its case for renewal. The Panthers-Saints Sunday Night Football matchup was up from last week but not to the dizzying heights of a couple earlier contests. Despite being good teams, it's probably partly due to lesser market teams and the fact that it wasn't all that close.

Over on ABC, the full lineup was back for the first time in three weeks. At 7pm, America's Funniest Home Videos was up three tenths in viewers and the demo for a season high. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time recovered a bit from its last couple weeks of season lows. It was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. At 9pm, Revenge was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The good thing is it was off for two weeks and returned slightly up when breaks are often problematic for this show. At 10pm, Betrayal was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. With a 0.7 demo, it shouldn't even be finishing its run. FOX's animated lineup was up across the board thanks to a strong NFL lead-in and a fully new lineup. It was a season high for The Simpsons and Family Guy.
