Preliminary Analysis: After several weeks of solid ratings, ABC's 'Supermarket Sweep' (0.5) took a troubling three-tenth decline, cementing a new series low by a wide margin. 'AFV' being preempted for a duo of 'Prep & Landing' specials (0.4/0.4) in the 7pm hour may be the reason the Leslie Jones reboot took a sizable hit. There was less slippage as the night went on with 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' (0.4) only losing a tenth and 'Card Sharks' (0.3) holding steady at 10pm. On CBS, '60 Minutes' (2.1) soared into the 2s with the help of 'NFL Overrun' (5.3). But the boost didn't do much for a repeat of 'The Neighborhood' (0.7) and the 1988 Eddie Murphy film 'Coming to America' (0.5).
NBC's 'Bears v. Packers' NFL game (4.0) was two-tenths below what last week's 'Chiefs v. Raiders' game (4.2) posted in prelims but still clocked in as the night's top broadcast. Fox's 'The Simpsons' (0.6) and 'Bob's Burgers' (0.5) were both a tenth behind what they garnered the last time they didn't have the NFL overrun. Sandwiched in-between was the annual rebroadcast of the 'Ice Age' Christmas special (0.4), practically indistinguishable from how 'Bless the Harts' would have performed in the slot. A 9:30pm 'Family Guy' repeat (0.4) was only two-tenths below last week's original episode. The CW's 'Pandora' (0.1) inched up while 'The Outpost' (0.0) ticked down.
Finals Update: CBS's 'NFL Overrun' (6.0, +0.7), NBC's NFL game (4.9, +0.9), ABC's 'Supermarket Sweep' (0.6, +0.1), the 'Bob's Burgers' repeat (0.5, +0.1), and 'Coming to America' (0.6, +0.1) all adjusted up while '60 Minutes' (2.0, -0.1) and 'Card Sharks' (0.2, -0.1) adjusted down.
