Spotted Ratings, Sunday 11/18/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• The American Music Awards were down a drastic 21% year-to-year, which lined up exactly with the CMA Awards year-to-year drop from a two and a half weeks ago.

• Fox animation went low again with The Simpsons and Family Guy and everything else at or near their timeslot season lows.

• Most CBS shows were on the low end of normal, but The Mentalist again had a near-worst case scenario, starting at 10:53, and it took a huge week-to-week hit.
