Ratings: Viewers Say, "Um, Not Yet" to CW Now
This Sunday, as NBC's NFL coverage averaged 16.46 million total viewers from 8 pm/ET on:
• The debuts of the CW's newsmagazine whatevers CW Now and Online Nation were sampled by barely a million viewers each. That's way less than half of the year-ago Sunday premiere of, say, Everybody Hates Chris.
• The news was better for Fox, whose 'toons The Simpsons (9.44 mil, +500K), King of the Hill (7.74 mil) and Family Guy (10.65 mil, +1.3 mil) each drew healthy premiere audiences.
• On CBS, Cold Case was welcomed back by 12.3 mil, a drop of five mil from last year's opener. Lead-out Shark christened its new day/time period with 11.54 mil, a mil fewer than caught its Season 1 finale in May.
POLL: What do you plan to watch live tonight? Vote here with your 8 pm and 9 pm picks.

How did the ABC Desperate Housewives/ Brothers & Sisters recap episodes fare in the ratings last night, Matt?

I didn't even know FOX's comedy shows were already back. Gotta look at those on my DVR tonight.

Whoa, go Family Guy! Last night's ep was hilarious.
I wish you hadn't combined HIMYM and Big Bang Theory in that poll. I had to vote for it, but I'll only be watching Mother. I saw the Big Bang pilot already and it wasn't very good.
Next week will be tougher, since Chuck and Mother will both be brand new. Either I can watch Chuck or I can watch HIMYM/Aliens in America combo.

Killerhook - Chuck and HIMYM will both be new tonight as well. I just didn't want you to miss one of them.

It is an utter mystery to me that King of the Hill loses viewers after the Simpsons. Its just as consistently funny and quirky and I find it irresistible.
