In the latest TV ratings, ABC’s broadcast of the Cowboys’ NFC Wild Card playoff win against the Bucs averaged 15.3 million total viewers and a 3.2 demo rating, obviously dominating Monday night in both measures.
Opposite that beefier competition….
CBS | The Neighborhood (5.1 mil/0.4) and Bob Hearts Abishola (4.6 mil/0.3) both returned from the holiday break down, and in fact both hit all-time demo lows. NCIS (6 mil/0.3) slipped to its second-smallest audience ever and hit a demo low, while NCIS: Hawaii (4.2 mil/0.3) hit an audience low but matched its last regularly scheduled demo rating.
NBC | AGT: All Stars (3.6 mil/0.4, read recap) dipped week-to-week.
FOX | Fantasy Island (1.6 mil/0.2) and Alert: Closet Quickies Missing Persons Unit (1.5 mil/0.2) both held steady.
NEXT WEEK: All American and All American: Homecoming return!

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. This is only an exhibition, this is not a competition. Please, no wagering.
