Per fast national data reported by NBC, the 8PM broadcast posted a 1.8 adults 18-49 rating and 10.6 million total viewers. The numbers trail the 2.0 rating and 12.3 million viewer mark posted in last week’s final report but best anything else delivered on broadcast Sunday night.

Among adults 18-49, the closest competition came from FOX’s “Family Guy,” which drew a 1.4. Among viewers, the closest competition came from CBS’ “60 Minutes,” which reached 10.2 million total audience members.
