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. Bob's Burgers earned a 2.0, down three tenths from its last original's 2.3 adults 18-49 rating. Family Guy earned a 2.8, down four tenths from the 3.2 its last original earned. American Dad earned a 2.1, down three tenths from its last original's 2.4.
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. Earlier in the night, 60 Minutes earned a 1.7, down more than a full point and a half from its last original's 3.3 adults 18-49 rating.
On ABC, Hallmark movie The Makeover earned a 1.1 adults 18-49 rating. Last year's Hallmark movie ( A Smile as Big as the Moon) earned a 1.5 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.

@ Shepherd
Thanks for not thinking I’m a bingo player (since I’m not) & also agree that it could be TGW effect (as if you’ve never seen it, it would be extremely hard to tune in now).
A 3.3 for the Pro Bowl isn’t much at all, since SNF routinely scores much higher than that & TGW has held its own. I think Downton Abbey & the SAG would be more of a rival. I watch DA live (but caught it On Demand this morning, as well as TGW). Couldn’t watch TV until 10:00 last night & watched the local news until 10:20, then the SAG’s until midnight.
I can be objective w/ TGW ep’s, but last night had outstanding writing & about a half dozen guest appearances. The episode had a lot of twists & turns that will impact the future storylines.
@DW
“wow that 3/10 brings in huge coin”
That 3/10 amounts to a 20% increase over TGW’s 1.5 last night. Are you honestly trying to say you wouldn’t consider a 20% raise from your boss “huge coin”?
The Cleveland Show is on death’s door.
No football, but that lousty exibition game had the expected effect.
Glad The Good Wife is down! That needs to be yanked.
On a side note, terrible episode of American Dad last night.
“Will this site post the ratings for the SAG Awards?”
Yes, they’ll be in the Sunday cable ratings we post Tuesday morning. A press release from Turner with them could come earlier than that.
Agree about American Dad, The Cool Max. That episode was bizarre in a bad way. And the CBS schedule definitely needs fixing if The Mentalist, in the 10 PM slot, was the highest CBS show of the night.
ABC should have ran that movie last week against football instead and had originals this week.
@WN> That was the 1st time I actually turned AD off. I thought the play skit would end after the 1st break.
Patrick Stewart was the best thing about it.
No TGW!!!…how is the idea: The last couple of years CBS has been unable to launch a new show on fridays…so why not move TGW there? could be compatble with BB, and will probs do way better than made in jersey…anyone think this is a viable move for CBS?
NBC wins the night. wow.
How is the Good Wife still on the air????????????????????????????????????
Maybe the good wife has finally gotten too ridiculous for it’s loyal viewers…
The hallmark movie was not even shown in my city. A 700 club telathon was on instead and the moive came on at midnight.
First of all: why did ABC air the Hallmark movie last night and Once and Revenge against the second-biggest sporting event of the year? It’s like they want their shows to have bad ratings. Paul Lee has got to go!
I don’t see the big deal with TGW hitting a 1.5. It got a 1.6 a few weeks back, it’s suffering from spotty scheduling like all Sunday shows on all networks and it had a repeat as a lead-in. It’s still in better shape than The Mentalist and CSI: NY.
How do you guys still have The Cleveland Show on the bubble? With a 1.2 rating, it’s certain to be cancelled.
Thank you Bill Gorman for letting me know about the SAG Award ratings being posted on Tuesday morning.
Last night’s TV viewing was down for a Sunday and perhaps the SAG Awards (or some other cable show) took some of the audience for a January evening.
@ ethan
My guess is that the fans of TGW have followed it since season one & will continue to support the show wherever CBS chooses to schedule it.
@ SJ
I’m inclined to agree w/ you on TGW!
Best Pro Bowl was on FOX back in 2008. They played the game without the onside interruptions.
@ethan
CBS are more likely to do that with The Mentalist, surely? Already does better than TGW (and expands on it as a lead-in) and it’s is far more compatible with BB, for obvious reasons.
Last night’s American Dad was hysterical; it was a parody of theatrical conventions and many classic playwrights, especially Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. But you have to be familiar with the works being parodied to appreciate it, and most who typically watch the show probably aren’t.
