On Sunday night, CBS had a huge basketball lead-in with a nail-biter of a game. It helped the whole lineup rise significantly. 60 Minutes was up 3.8 million viewers and nine tenths in the demo for its best performance since football season. NCIS: Los Angeles was up 2.1 million viewers and half a demo point for its best performance since November 13. This has quietly been one of the best moves made by any network. Madam Secretary was up 1.2 million viewers and three tenths in the demo while Elementary was up nine tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since October 23. On NBC, Little Big Shots was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for a solid showing. Chicago Justice was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while Shades of Blue was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. I still think this lineup should be doing better but at least it was steady.

On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo while Once Upon a Time was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. 0.9 demos are nothing to write home about but they look downright impressive compared to the second half of ABC's night. At 9pm, Time After Time was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while American Crime explored new lows for a Big 4 broadcast network by dropping three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to a horrible 0.3. A repeat of almost anything would do the same or better for ABC. Finally on FOX, an hour of Bob's Burgers aired starting at 7:30pm and was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo from last week's half hour episode. At 8:30pm, Making History was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo for a third straight week. At 9pm, Family Guy was down a tenth in viewers and the demo while The Last Man on Earth rounded things out even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: American Crime (ABC)
