Spotted Ratings, Sunday 5/22/11


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Many of the Sunday staples have wrapped up their seasons, but there were plenty of originals floating around. Family Guy topped 'em all, but the Celebrity Apprentice (up 20% from last week in its season finale) and the resurrection of the Billboard Music Awards were close behind. Most of Fox's animation was slightly down from last week on finale night.
  • The Jesse Stone movies continue to redefine the word "old-skewing" with each one that airs. The latest Tom Selleck movie, Jesse Stone: Innocents Lost, averaged just a 1.3 demo but had 13.93 million viewers! That means only about twelve percent of the audience was in the adults 18-49 demo. The performance meant CBS was way out ahead in the viewership race but way behind everyone in the demo race. You do occasionally see a network finish first in one metric and fourth in the other, but usually not by such huge margins in both cases at the same time.
