Spotted Ratings, Sunday 3/11/12 (FINALS)


WHAT MATTERS:
  • Fox debuted the second season of Bob's Burgers in fairly underwhelming fashion as it tied the series low from last season. It perhaps worryingly came in a notch below the last couple Napoleon Dynamite episodes, but it was Truly about equal to those episodes because of the Daylight Saving effect; The Simpsons was also down a couple ticks.
  • Worst hit by DST at 8:00 was ABC, with America's Funniest Home Videos getting massacred and Once Upon a Time down 15% at 8:00. But things got better from there, with Desperate Housewives up a tick and GCB defying the post-premiere odds and gaining a tick in week two. This would make it only the second show out of 36 scripted premieres this season to gain in week two, and the other one (The Finder) only did so because it got the American Idol lead-in in week two. Encouraging.
  • NBC struggled with the return of Harry's Law only managing to equal the week-ago encore of Celebrity Apprentice, then the Apprentice original dropping double digits.
  • CBS' The Amazing Race was totally resilient to DST and remains slightly up year-to-year, but The Good Wife followed with its second straight multiple-tick drop.
