Ratings Breakdown:
Dominant CBS got a boost from the 2016 Masters Tournament, which bled into primetime with a 9.2 rating/16 share in the household overnights in the 7 p.m. half-hour. This means that results for the Eye net programming roster is approximate and appears as follows by half-hour:

CBS/Sunday
7:30 p.m. “60 Minutes”: 8.4/14 (#1)
8:00 p.m. “60 Minutes”: 8.7/14 (#1)
8:30 p.m. “Madam Secretary”: 6.8/11 (#2)
9:00 p.m. “Madam Secretary”: 6.8/10 (#1)
9:30 p.m. “Elementary”: 4.4/ 7 (#1)
10:00 p.m. “Elementary”: 4.3/ 7 (#1)
10:30 p.m. “Elementary: 4.0/ 7 (#1)

Second-place NBC was on the map care of bona fide hit “Little Big Shots,” hosted by Steve Harvey, which scored a 7.2/12 in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was an increase of six percent from the 6.8/11 one week earlier. A stronger “Little Big Shots” resulted in week to week overnight growth for sitcoms “Carmichael” (#2: 3.5/ 5) and “Crowded” (#2: 2.7/ 4) from 9-10 p.m. and “Dateline” (#2: 3.2/ 6) at 10 p.m.

In the 7 p.m. hour on NBC last night was an encore telecast of “Little Big Shots” at a second-place 3.6/ 6.

Elsewhere, the overnight results were nothing to boast about. Veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” on ABC (#3: 3.0/ 5 at 7 p.m.) led into the deteriorating combination of “Once Upon a Time” (#3: 2.4/ 4), recent drama entry “The Family” (#3: 2.4/ 4) and “Quantico” (#3: 2.5/ 5) from 8-11 p.m. Don’t be fooled in think that “Quantico” is a big hit. It is not.

Fox; meanwhile, barely registered with its 7-10 p.m. line-up of “Bordertown” (#4: 0.8/ 1), “Cooper Barrett Controls the Universe” (#4: 0.7/ 1), granddaddy “The Simpsons” (#4: 1.5/ 2), “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.4/ 2), a repeat of “Family Guy” (#4: 1.5/ 2) and recently renewed “The Last Man on Earth” (#4: 1.8/ 3). At this point, there is no reason to believe “Bordertown” or “Cooper Barrett Controls the Universe” will be returning next season.
