SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2016

Household Rating/Share
CBS: 6.4 rating/10 share, NBC: 4.0/ 6, ABC: 3.7/ 6, Fox: 1.5/ 2

Percent Change From the Year-Ago Week:
Note: ABC aired The Academy Awards on the year-ago evening
CBS: +100, NBC: +90, Fox: +15, ABC: -82

Ratings Breakdown:
Note: AMC featured an original episode of “The Walking Dead” at 9 p.m. ET (into “The Talking Dead”).

It was an easy household overnight victory for CBS care of its older-skewing combination of “60 Minutes” (#1 for the evening: 7.9 rating/13 share), “Madam Secretary” (7.6/12), soon-to-conclude “The Good Wife” (5.7/ 9) and “CSI: Cyber” (4.5/ 7). Although the Eye net finished first in each of the eight half-hours, chances of a third season of “CSI: Cyber” is very slim. Was there really a need for this spin-off?

In the specials department last night were “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60” on ABC and “Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows” on NBC. “The Wonderful World of Disney: Disneyland 60” was the higher rated of the two, with a 4.3/ 7 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. Comparably, that built from veteran lead-in “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (#3: 3.6/ 6 at 7 p.m.) by 19 percent, and it led into a last-place 2.8/ 4 for a Sunday 10 p.m. edition of “Shark Tank.” Slippage for “Shark Tank” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of the “Disneyland” special was 26 percent. Note to ABC: Keep “Shark Tank” on Friday.

On NBC, “Must See TV: An All-Star Tribute to James Burrows,” featuring the casts of “The Big Bang Theory,” “Cheers,” “Frasier,” “Friends,” “Mike & Molly,” “Taxi” and “Will & Grace,” scored a 3.9/ 6 in the overnights from 9-11 p.m., which was NBC’s top-rated household overnights in the two-hour block since the Democratic debate on Jan. 17.

Earlier in the evening on NBC was a two-hour edition of “Dateline” at a 4.0/ 6 from 7-9 p.m.

Fox capped off the evening with the low-rated combination of a repeat of “The Simpsons” (#5: 1.3/ 2), “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.5/ 2), the regularly scheduled edition of “The Simpsons” (#4: 2.0/ 3), “Cooper Barrett’s Guide to Surviving Life” (#4: 1.1/ 2), “Family Guy” (#4: 1.7/ 3) and “Bordertown” (#4: 1.1/ 2). While no network should be judged by the household overnights, Fox needs to address its sinking results next season. And the first move should be the axing of “Cooper Barrett” and “Bordertown.”
