On Sunday night, FOX unveiled its new lineup but didn't get as much help as it might have hoped from the NFL overrun which was a blowout and ended fairly early (especially compared to the CBS overrun). The Simpsons did alright at 8pm, but it was downhill from there. The series premiere of Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life premiered to an anemic 2.6 million viewers and 1.2 demo. I guess this is a slightly young skew if you want to be optimistic, but that viewer number isn't going to get it anywhere. At 9pm, Family Guy was pretty weak and it led into Bordertown to a weak 2.3 million viewers and 1.1 demo. I guess the Bordertown performance was slightly better only because its lead-in was weaker. This lineup gets an NFL playoff game lead-in next week so that should help but it'll be all downhill after that.

On ABC, the season premiere of Galavant tied the series low from last year's limited January run. I don't really know why this got renewed in the first place so I don't think we can be too surprised by this. It will probably dip even lower when it has to face the Golden Globes and NFC Championship Game later in the month. On CBS, 60 Minutes benefited from an NFL lead-in as usual while Undercover Boss was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week. Finally on NBC, the Vikings-Packers showdown that gave the NFC North to Minnesota delivered NBC's best Sunday night numbers since the November 29 Broncos-Patriots game.
