Due to the nature of live programming the ratings for NBC (Pro Bowl) are approximate and subject to more than the typical adjustments in the final numbers. See below for more information on these Fast Affiliate Ratings.
NBC was number one among adults 18-49 and with total viewers.
On NBC, The Pro Bowl earned a 3.3, down three tenths from last year's 3.6 fast national rating (last year's game later adjusted up to a 4.3)
On FOX The Cleveland Show scored a 1.2, down a tenth from its last original's 1.3 adults 18-49 rating. The Simpsons was even with the 2.4 it earned two weeks ago.

On CBS, The Good Wife earned a series-low 1.5, down four tenths from its last original's 1.9 adults 18-49 rating. Your predictions were far too optimistic. The Mentalist garnered a 1.8, down three tenths from its last original's 2.1 adults 18-49 rating.

Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live baseball game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

Oh dear not good for the good wife, guess it didnt benefit from no Revenge.
TGW
Good wife sucks
Animation Domination holds well.
A repeat of America’s Funniest Home Videos got a 1.8? That’s better than an all-new Revenge last week.
Time to cancel TGW. 1.5 for it is just sad and embarrasing.
Go NFL Pro Bowl! What a great episode last night. Hope it gets renewed.
I hate to say it for fans of TGW but with these abysmal numbers with no serious competition it’s likely finished. TM may still escape the bear & possibly relocate to Fridays
YES on TGW! Most overrated series. No more Bingo excuses left out there. Once again, TM spikes UP in 10 pm slot. I bet CBS wishes they produced TM instead of TGW.
The Good Wife DOWN.
Ugh ABC should have been new last night. The Makeover did horrible. AFV repeat did really well.
I didn’t expect the Good Wife to gain much from Revenge’s absence but I also didn’t expect it to hit lows.
Mind you, no one I know watches both. I watch TGW and not Revenge same with some friends and other friends vice-versa.
9million viewers for a 1.5 rating. CBS and their power-house viewers!
Yikes! I didn’t see that coming for TGW and The Mentalist. It appears that young people stayed away from TV in droves last night (total viewers for CBS were roughly normal). I wonder what happened?
Good thing Revenge wasn’t on to spare us a week of the never ending Revenge/Scandal wank.
I enjoyed The Makeover.
Actually AFV repeat did alot better than its own originals. Why does Everyone compare things to Revenge?
Looks like the lack of a lead-in from Amazing Race hurt TGW more than anything. That, or a ton of CBS viewers love football. Ouch in either case.
I don’t know how to end this comment, so I’ll just note that I misread that Hallmark title as “A Smile Ass Big Ass The Moon” at first.
This is the first week AFV did not have to face the end of any football game on CBS or FOX.
Poor GW, even with basically no competition!
I love The Good Wife… But fare the well, Ms. Florrick!
1.4 or 1.5 for The Good Wife?
ONO!! TGW!! (Another outstanding ep BTW) DOWNTON ABBEY AFFECT (I Wonder)
DOWNTON was mind boggling as well!! Good Shows!
