- This Sunday will likely be the second-highest viewed primetime of the year thanks to the massive NFC Championship Game. (Highest-viewed will be Super Bowl Sunday in two weeks.) Over 45% of adults 18-49 were watching TV from 7:00 to 10:30, and nearly half of those were watching the NFC Championship Game. The game did nearly two points better than last year's primetime AFC Championship Game (19.7). American Idol followed the game at 10:57 ET with its biggest ratings of the season.
- ABC held up swimmingly against the game, led by Once Upon a Time. Last year, their scripted originals sat out this week, so there's no great comparison.
- Most affected by the proceedings was CBS' Undercover Boss, down huge from last week's premiere but also mixed into a lineup of repeats. We saw what that did for Once Upon a Time back in December, so let's wait a week before we make too much of this.
- NBC bid adieu to Prime Suspect with its two lowest-rated episodes.

NOTE: Since I don't usually do Fox numbers beyond 10:00, plus Idol had a massive overrun, I had to do a little rejiggering. As a result, both the CSI: Miami (R) and the American Idol TRUE calculations use something resembling the preliminary TRUE formula.
