60 Minutes had a very solid season. As always, it benefits from getting a football lead-in many weeks in the fall, so I like to look more so at its non-football numbers. Airing Sundays at 7pm, 60 Minutes has done one par with the likes of 20/20 and Dateline. What's impressive is that football or not, 60 Minutes did better in relative A18-49 ratings this season than it has in any other season this millennium--and by a lot. Some of its later data points, while in the red, were actually even from last season. Can't give a bad grade to that.
Grade: A
