On a night in which Foxâs Super Bowl coverage won a resounding victory in the ratings, ABC, CBS and NBC struggled to attract even meager audiences during prime time. CBS fared best, finishing a very distant runner-up thanks in part to the strength of â60 Minutes,â which drew 5 million viewers at 8 p.m., according to Nielsenâs estimate. This veteran news magazine followed a news special on the National Guard at 7 p.m., âCBS Reportsâ (3.3 million), while repeats of CBSâs âSharkâ and âCold Caseâ attracted 4.2 million and 6.1 million viewers, respectively, at 9 and 10 p.m. ABC, in third place for the night, outpaced CBS in the important demographic of adults 18 to 49, getting a boost later in the night from the 2004 movie with Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, âMeet the Fockers,â which averaged 4.1 million viewers from 9 to 11. NBC ranked fourth over all with four repeat hours of âThe Biggest Loser,â which averaged 2.3 million viewers.

CBS and ABC shared the lead in the ratings on Sunday, with CBS averaging the most total viewers and ABC earning the highest ratings among adults 18 to 49. ABC got a lift in that demographic group from the nightâs top-rated show, a two-hour edition of âExtreme Makeover: Home Edition,â which averaged 13.6 million total viewers at 8 p.m., according to Nielsenâs estimates. CBS, meanwhile, got a boost at 7 p.m. from â60 Minutes,â the nightâs most-watched show (14.4 million), followed by âSharkâ at 8 (11.1 million) and the made-for-TV movie âThe Russell Girlâ from 9 to 11 (12.7 million).

NBCâs bare-bones version of the â65th Annual Golden Globesâ attracted just 5.8 million viewers on Sunday night, a small fraction of the 20 million who tuned in to the awards show a year ago, according to Nielsenâs estimates. A two-hour âDatelineâ special, featuring interviews with the nominees and preceding the 9 p.m. announcement show fared no better, drawing only 4.4 million. Combined, the three-hour broadcast delivered a dismal 1.3 rating in the critical demographic of adults 18 to 49, a far cry from the 6.5 rating the show earned over prime time on a Monday last January. The big hit on Sunday was Foxâs premiere of âTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,â which attracted 18.3 million viewers at 8 p.m. and the highest ratings by far of any new series this season. Although âTerminatorâ benefited from following a football game on Fox that attracted more than 35 million viewers during the 7 p.m. hour, no other scripted series debut on any broadcast network has done better in the 18-to-49 set in three years. The last scripted series debut on a broadcast network to earn higher ratings among adults 18 to 49 was CBSâs âNumb3rsâ on Jan. 23, 2005. Fox easily led the nightâs ratings, followed by CBS and ABC. NBC ranked fourth. Part one of CBSâs âComanche Moonâ drew 15.8 million viewers.
