On Sunday night, NBC had the second week of its new lineup. Everything was down some but it could have been worse I guess. At 8pm, Little Big Shots dropped 1.6 million viewers and three tenths in the demo to tie series lows. This is a solid performance but this show isn't going to have another amazing spring run. At 9pm, Chicago Justice was down eight tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last Sunday's episode. It was down just a tenth from the special Tuesday episode so I would consider this an acceptable time period showing. At 10pm, Shades of Blue was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It had a ton of 1.0 demos last year but never went below that until now. On CBS, 60 Minutes was down seven tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. NCIS: Los Angeles followed and was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Madam Secretary was up eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Elementary ended the night up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was even and topped the ABC lineup in the demo despite airing at 7pm. At 8pm, Once Upon a Time was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. After a very weak premiere, Time After Time dropped two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its second week. It wasn't a horrible drop but there's only so much lower it can go after last week's ugly premiere. The news was worst at 10pm where American Crime completely bombed at 10pm with a 0.5 demo, three tenths lower than its series low. I'm not sure the awards buzz will be able to save it when its this low. Finally on FOX, Bob's Burgers and The Simpsons were both even. Making History had a bad second week as it dropped four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from its premiere to a weak 0.7 demo. At 9pm, Family Guy was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo while The Last Man on Earth ended the night down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
