- The Grammy Awards (9.9) aired two weeks earlier than usual (presumably to avoid the Winter Olympics) and were just a bit below last year's 10.1. The earlier date meant the awards went head-to-head with another annual Sunday event, the NFL's all-star game The Pro Bowl. It was also a little down from last year despite some major format tweaking.
- The only regular lineup to battle these events was Fox's animation, and The Simpsons (1.7), Bob's Burgers (1.5), Family Guy (2.0) and American Dad! (1.5) were all down at least a half point from their last episodes, and all either at or tied for season lows. ABC did surprisingly decent work with a The Bachelor wedding special (1.5), significantly ahead of the last one of these back in December 2012 (1.0).
