Fast Affiliate Ratings

Total Viewers: 
NBC: 12.81 million, Fox: 7.27, CBS: 5.45, ABC: 3.29, CW: 270,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 3.3 rating/20 share, Fox: 2.0/12, CBS: 0.5/ 3, ABC: 0.4/ 3, CW: 0.1/ 0

“Sunday Night Football” on NBC, of course, dominated with the Green Bay Packers 37 to 10 victory over The Minnesota Vikings at an estimated 15.13 million viewers and a 3.9 rating/24 share in adults 18-49 for the primetime portion. And Fox benefited care of the football overrun at an estimated 16.25 million and a 4.2/26 in demo. in the 7 p.m. ET hour. That led into the series premiere of Gordon Ramsay’s latest entry on Fox, “Next Level Chef“, at 4.03 million viewers (#3) and a 0.5/ 3 in adults 18-49 (#2) from 8-9 p.m. The prognosis: Aren’t we all simply getting tired of Gordon Ramsay?

As a reminder, results for any live event (sports in particular) are always approximate.

Airing out of “Next Level Chef” on Fox were animated “The Simpsons” (Viewers: #4, 1.86 million; A18-49: #2, 0.6/ 4 at 9 p.m.) and “The Great North” (Viewers: #4, 1.26 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 2 at 9:30 p.m.). 

Elsewhere, CBS crime solver “S.W.A.T.” moved into the Sunday 10 p.m. hour with 3.67 million viewers (#2) and a 0.4/ 3 (#2) in adults 18-49. That was equal in the demo rating to the lead-in, “NCIS: Los Angeles” (which scored a second place 5.03 million total viewers at 9 p.m.). 

Earlier in the evening on the Eye net was the compatible combination of granddaddy newsmagazine “60 Minutes” (Viewers: #2, 6.84 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.5/ 3), which will outlive us all, and the reboot of “The Equalizer” (Viewers: #2, 6.29 million; A18-49: #3, 0.5/ 3) from 7-9 p.m.

The CW, meanwhile, was in repeats and ABC had a typically lackluster Sunday as follows:

ABC/Sunday
7:00 p.m. “America’s Funniest Home Videos”
Viewers: 4.31 million (#4), A18-49: 0.5/ 3 (#3t)

8:00 p.m. “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune”
Viewers: 3.89 million (#4), A18-49: 0.4/ 3 (#4)

9:00 p.m. “Supermarket Sweep”
Viewers: 2.27 million (#4), A18-49: 0.4/ 2 (#3t)

10:00 p.m. “The Rookie”
Viewers: 2.71 million (#3), A18-49: 0.3/ 2 (#3)
