Sunday night had FOX with the NFL overrun. Coupling that with the annual Halloween Treehouse or Horror episode of The Simpsons led to gains across the board with every show hitting or tying a season high. The Simpsons had the biggest bump, of course, as it was up 3.1 million viewers and 1.1 demo points. Brooklyn Nine-Nine followed and was up 1.8 million viewers and eight tenths in the demo. It's retention hasn't been quite as good this year. At 9pm, Family Guy was 1.1 million viewers and four tenths in the demo while The Last Man on Earth rose 1.1 million viewers and half a demo point. Of course this was an aberration for FOX Sundays and Family Guy is looking very old, but this lineup can still make some noise in the right circumstances. Over on NBC, a Panthers-Eagles game was below last week's Colts-Patriots tilt, but it wasn't a horrible drop considering it was much less of a marquee game. Next week's Packers-Broncos showdown of two 6-0 teams could be one of the better rated games of the season.

CBS did not have the NFL overrun but the total viewer count was OK to start the night with each show starting almost an hour earlier than last week. 60 Minutes suffered the most as usual without the direct lead-in as it was down big. But Madam Secretary was actually up 1.2 million viewers and a tenth in the demo for a very good showing with no NFL lead-in. At 9pm, The Good Wife was up seven tenths in viewers and even in the demo. CSI: Cyber didn't have to start at 10:59 this week and was up 1.3 million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally on ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos rebounded from last week's troubling drop. It was up three tenths in viewers and the demo. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Blood & Oil, which had its episode order cut this past week, was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Only Quantico was down as it slipped two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. ABC seems so high on this show but they don't seem to be giving it the support it needs after its promising start.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Simpsons (FOX)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: CSI: Cyber (CBS)
