The ratings aren’t improving for Fox and The Simpsons alike. Still down on Season 14’s ratings, Simple Simpson scored a total of 9.3 million viewers on Sunday night. NBC came out on top amongst the adult demographic, while Fox and ABC came equal second with CBS lagging behind. In total viewers though, CBS was first and NBC second.
At 8pm, The Simpsons competition was hard to topple. CBS’s Cold Case came out on top for the hour, while ABC had impressive enough figures with Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to make it into second place. The two Simpsons episodes were outrated by both networks, while NBC’s Dateline and WB’s Charmed came in fourth and fifth respectively.
