The Winter Olympics came to a close on Sunday night. The closing ceremonies were down from the 2010 numbers as has been the case for most of these Olympics. Next up is the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero. NBC previewed Growing Up Fisher at the end of the ceremonies and it did decently but was a little down from the About a Boy preview on Saturday night, which aired later and with a smaller lead-in. The real test for both comedies will be over the next several Tuesdays. Over on CBS, The Amazing Race premiered against the Olympics but saw a series low, not just a premiere low. It has to face the Oscars next week but then maybe it can recover. There were some extenuating circumstances but this franchise seems to be getting tired.
