Spotted Ratings, Sunday 1/15/12: Nielsen Dynamite (FINALS)


WHAT MATTERS:
  • As usual, Fox took advantage of its NFL playoff lead-in to create a huge evening of animation. It started with The Simpsons, up a silly 135% week-to-week and easily a season high but a bit weaker than the episode in the same situation last year (5.7). Then the first episode of Napoleon Dynamite was the season's third-biggest premiere. Seems impressive, but again, it was a bit weaker than Bob's Burgers (4.5) in the same situation last year. Family Guy joined the outright season high brigade (but, all together now, a little weaker than last year (4.7)), then episode two of Napoleon dropped a good bit.
  • The Golden Globes ended up down a couple ticks year-to-year but still dominated their three hours of primetime.
  • Also as usual, Globes night wasn't great to CBS and ABC, though a Once Upon a Time-led ABC took a smaller hit than usual
  • As for CBS, the big question coming into today was which Undercover Boss would show up, the 3.0 one that had persisted for most of the show's second season or the 2.0 one that mysteriously popped up in the last couple weeks of last season. At least on premiere night, it was the former, as Undercover Boss was way down from its September 2010 premiere but about on par with the 3.0 level it approximated for most of the 2010-11 season. But it was a pretty impressive start considering how far the rest of the CBS evening came back to earth with no NFL support.
