Sunday TV Ratings 10/25/26: The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Episode Up from 2025, Tracker Declines, Animal Control and Universal Basic Guys Remain Tepid [+ Analysis]
The Fox Sunday lineup received some proper NFL help for the first time this season, pushing The Simpsons (1.08, +0.82) to its highest rating in years for its annual Treehouse of Horror special.

CBS's 60 Minutes (0.31, -0.82), Marshals (0.37, -0.20), and Tracker (0.35, -0.07) all declined. On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos (0.29, +0.02) was up, and a showing of the comedy classic Ghostbusters (0.18) was a small improvement on last week's Hocus Pocus (0.17). NFL on NBC (6.33) was down a bit when compared to the previous Sunday. The CW aired Miss Congeniality (0.05). Key: (R) = repeat.
