With Dancing with the Stars out of the way Sunday Night Football easily won out both with adults 18-49 and total viewers. Glee was the top scripted show with adults 18-49, and impressively a repeat of NCIS was the week's top scripted show with total viewers with over 15 million viewers.
The Simpsons topped Grey's Anatomy, and though the show itself is nearly out of demographic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is still a top 10 performer with adults 18-49.
A repeat of Two and a Half Men also held up well making both lists.
Univision makes a rare non-summertime appearance in the adults 18-49 list with Soy Tu Duena at number 23.
