The special 150th edition of “Family Guy” was off from its season highs but still successful in the ratings Sunday.<\/p>\n
The hourlong episode ranked second to “Desperate Housewives” (12.02 million viewers, 3.7 adults 18-49 rating) with a 3.5 rating and 7.33 million viewers.<\/p>\n
To the FOX comedy’s credit, the second half hour, much of which featured musical numbers (two of which had been aired previously), held the average down with a 3.3 rating–the first half hour (which featured all but the overrun of the actual ‘episode’) actually tied “Housewives” at a 3.7.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, FOX’s “Til Death” was a non-factor with a 0.7 and 1.95 million viewers; “The Simpsons” posted a 2.7 with 6.06 million and “The Cleveland Show” was good for a 2.6 with 5.74 million watchers.<\/p>\n
ABC’s lineup also included “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (6.64 million, 1.7), “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” (8.63 million, 2.4) and “Brothers & Sisters” (8.63 million, 2.5).<\/p>\n
In addition to its Conan-centric episode of “60 Minutes” (13.33 million, 2.2), CBS also aired “The Amazing Race” (10.4 million, 3.0) and two hours of “Cold Case” (9.63 million, 2.0 and 10.07 million, 2.2).<\/p>\n
NBC aired “Dateline” (5.17 million, 1.1), “Minute to Win It” (5.64 million, 1.9) and “Celebrity Apprentice” (6.99 million, 2.6).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
