Sunday TV Ratings 2/15/26: The Simpsons Rises for 800th Episode and Finale, Family Guy Returns Higher Than Nearly All 2025 Episodes, Winter Olympics Also Jump [+ Analysis]

On Fox, The Simpsons (0.27, +0.09) returned in tip-top shape for its first episode in over a month, then climbed even higher (0.29, +0.02) for its finale at 8:30. At 9:30, Family Guy (0.26) returned with a surprising amount of life, down just a hundredth from last year's premiere (0.27). Sandwiched between those two was a steady Universal Basic Guys (0.19, 0.00). The Winter Olympics (1.57, +0.32) bounced back considerably on NBC, retaining a large chunk of the NBA game (1.74) that aired before it. ABC aired repeats of America's Funniest Home Videos (0.36/0.29) and American Idol (0.13). CBS's town hall with Governor Wes Moore (0.09) completely bombed, retaining less than a third of its 60 Minutes lead-in (0.28) and barely beating the CW's showing of Ghostbusters (0.07). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.
