The Big Bang Theory was the top regular syndicated program in Household ratings and with total viewers for the week ending December 30, 2012.
Live with Kelly & Michael topped the talk shows for a second straight week. Maury was second.
We've entered the wacky time of year when Nielsen counts the local broadcast of the Monday Night Football games as syndicated shows and while it is syndicated to the local markets of the teams playing, Nielsen also includes the numbers from ESPN so MNF will always put them at the top of the list, pay no attention to them.

Why Aren't The Simpsons on This List?!
While The Simpsons repeats are available nationally its ratings are not counted in the weekly syndicated ratings because The Simpsons does not sell any national advertising in syndication.
Please note that the syndicated weekly results are delayed versus normal reporting. While we get the broadcast and cable ratings for the prior Monday-Sunday period every Tuesday, there is an extra week of lag time with the syndicated ratings and these numbers are not for last week, but for the week before last.
-
For syndicated shows which air on multiple days, the viewership shown is the average of all telecasts.
BUENA VISTA items are syndicated packages of old Disney movies.
DAD = Disney ABC Domestic Television, SPT= Sony Pictures Television, 2/T=Twentieth Television, ESP = ESPN, CTD = CBS Television Distribution.
AT = Additional Time/Telecasts, more than the typical number of episodes or time periods/week

Wow Live with Kelly & Michael the top talker 2 weeks in a row. And this week the only one to make the top 25. That’s strange.
Kelly ” NO TALENT” , ” NO CLASS” Ripa BEGGED people to vote for her in The Peoples Choice Awards and when she didnt win, she never even said a word. She never even had the class to congratulate Ellen. Well Kelly, the people have spoken. Did she really think she was going to win? I won my vote
Is the New Normal syndicated? If it was it would be #1.
Live w/K & M shows for this ratings week were all previously recorded with a notably shorter opening host chat. Less Ripa running her mouth = higher ratings.
Lmao at Nene Leakes….Nobody even watches the new normal on the network!
But…you’re still rich…VERY rich!
