Primetime Ratings, Saturday, 12/15/12 & Sunday, 12/16/12

Saturday night saw CBS win, thanks to a broadcast of the Will Ferrell Christmas film "Elf", and an all new 48 Hours.

As for Sunday, things got messy. Due to coverage of the President's speech in Newtown, CT, the moving of Sunday Night Football over to cable for that period, and the usual really long NFL overrun on CBS, the numbers are skewed all over the place. For that reason, I'm including them below, but not posting any kind of analysis. Chances are that they are outliers, and non-indicative of a pattern.
