Preliminary Ratings: Sunday 12/07/14

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL was the dominate program on Sunday night, as it usually is, but for the first time this season, the primrtime game out rate the overrun game from either FOX or CBS. In preliminaries, the FOX overrun game is 200k behind SNF, in total viewers, and a tenth of a point in the demo. This does usually happen once, or twice a season.

The I LOVE LUCY Christmas special did well for CBS, pulling in numbers, slightly below what MADAME SECRETARY would bring in, with a the football halo effect. Year-to-year, the special the viewership is up 700,000 viewers, but flat in the A18-49 ratings. But, the 2013 airing was on a Friday night, a little more accessible to the targeted demographic of the special.

The ABC series all pulled in lower than average ratings, with RESURRECTION losing 50% of its lead in demo audience. ABC needs to to some "marathon" burn off episodes of RESURRECTION during the holiday break to just finish out the commitment, sooner rather than later.

FOX perked up with the football lead in pumping the numbers, but FAMILY GUY still looks bad. It is basically flat out of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE. Last year, FAMILY GUY was the top program of the night, for FOX. now, it is just another comedy in the line up.
