Spotted Ratings, Sunday 11/3/13

WHAT MATTERS:

• CBS had a nearly one-hour NFL overrun, but since it was "nearly" an hour it meant The Mentalist got its worst-case scenario: the CBS aired a repeat of The Mentalist rather than give it the dreaded 10:59 night start time. Way to be reasonable, CBS! CBS then got double-digit upticks out of the 8:59 The Amazing Race and the 9:59 The Good Wife.

• ABC finally got some much-needed Sunday relief with Revenge surging back to best-since-week-two numbers and Once Upon a Time and Betrayal also inching up again.

• And Fox got back in the animation business after baseball hiatus with The Simpsons and an even Family Guy. These were pretty good results given 1) it was The Simpsons' first non-NFL, non-Treehouse episode; and 2) it was Family Guy's first whack at The Walking Dead, which seemed to hurt it last year. All the shows were virtually even with their first November eps a year ago.

• Sunday Night Football had another weak matchup with Colts/Texans and scored its second straight 6.3, losing to an also even The Walking Dead (6.8) for the second straight week.
