Spotted Ratings, Sunday 2/12/12


WHAT MATTERS:
  • The Grammy Awards absolutely soared thanks to remembrances of Whitney Houston and finished up over 40% from last year. It was the second-biggest Grammy viewership ever and the biggest since 1984. It also sets up the awards to potentially beat Oscar for the first time since that Michael Jackson-fueled 1984 show.
  • That left little remaining audience for the mostly original competing networks. Once Upon a Time held up by far the best, down just 14% from last week, and it was the only show to avoid a season low. Most were also series lows (with American Dad! an exception, as it slightly edged a couple of its 7:30 airings last year). Later on ABC, Desperate Housewives and Pan Am got absolutely creamed. Fox's animation generally took double-digit hits (from numbers that were already quite low last week). And NBC's randomly-scheduled two-hour Fear Factor did less than two thirds of any of this season's Monday results.
