Primetime Ratings, Saturday, 1/5/13 & Sunday, 1/6/13

NBC won Saturday night, thanks to football airing a night earlier than usual this weekend. FOX won Sunday thanks to an NFL overrun, followed by Animation Domination.

Speaking of which, the NFL lead-in led to huge rises on all four animated programs. The Simpsons went up 30%, Bob's Burgers went up almost 50%, and Family Guy and American Dad both rose 40%. On ABC, Once Upon A Time matched its last new episode, while Revenge dropped a tiny amount. The Sunday premieres of Happy Endings and Don't Trust The B both hit series lows. Gee ABC, maybe shelving the remaining episodes of 666 Park Avenue wasn't so smart after all. 666 wasn't great shakes in the ratings either, but it usually did better than a 1.0 at least.

60 Minutes dipped 26%. The Good Wife matched its most recent airing. The Mentalist rose 31%, and tied its season high. Dateline rose 25%. The Biggest Loser's season premiere climbed up over 20% from last season's debut.
