Schedules Plus Enhanced: CBS Sunday

Schedules Plus is the ultimate almanac to broadcast network primetime scheduling since 2001. It features lineups for three different parts of the year, as well as A18-49+ ratings that more fairly account for historical decline. For more on the tables and charts in Schedules Plus, see this primer.

This post covers CBS Sunday, which historically housed a regularly-scheduled movie from 9:00 to 11:00. This setup became less viable in the mid-aughts, and the network had to start putting entertainment series across the night. CBS' most successful Sunday program was The Amazing Race, which stayed in the 8:00 slot for nearly a decade, while the network has housed increasingly low-priority dramas in the later hours. See the 2024-25 Breakdown.
