The final night of broadcast premiere week doesn't feature any series premieres, but we'll see how the veteran season premieres stack up to Sunday Night Football which has been on a ratings tear this season.
Note: America's Funniest Home Videos, American Dad and CSI:Miami season premieres are October 3. You can check out other premiere dates here.
How will they do in the ratings?
Guesses for veteran shows to debut up a bit from their May, 2010 ratings level continue to be very accurate. I'm generally sticking with that strategy.
My premiere ratings guesses (adults 18-49 ratings):
- 60 Minutes: 3.5 (football overrun, woo hoo!)
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: 2.2
- The Simpsons: 3.1
- The Cleveland Show: 2.9
- Desperate Housewives: 4.2
- Family Guy: 4.1
- Brothers & Sisters: 2.8
- Undercover Boss: 4.3
- The Amazing Race: 3.9
