The Simpsons was up this week in viewership as 9.01 million viewers tuned in to see “The Ten-Per-Cent Solution”. Up against the Simpsons was Sunday Night Football on NBC (14.16 million), The Amazing Race on CBS (9.63 million), and ABC’s Once Upon a Time (9.61 million).
The Simpsons had the highest ratings on FOX for the night, beating out Allen Gregory (5.21 million), Family Guy (7.05 million), and The Cleveland Show (5.43 million). FOX released their mid-season schedule and the big noticeable change was Allen Gregory missing completely. It’s widely perceived that Allen Gregory will be cancelled.
Fox was in 4th place for the night in viewership, but finished second in the 18-49 demographic.
What did you think of guest voice Joan Rivers? How about those Itchy & Scratchy movie parodies or the brief appearance by Jackie Mason as Rabbi Krustofski?

Wow, that’s some difference? Was there any reason it jumped 4 million views? Or is this just a better TV week?
Well, ratings were down for ABC and some other shows so I don’t know if you can say it was a better TV week in general. It was for FOX.
Football ended a little bit later on FOX than usual Sunday and this time of year and especially getting into the playoffs you often see ratings go up with the help of late football games. But the Simpsons has been continually beating family guy week after week on FOX this season with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions.
I didn’t like the episode very much
But I’m happy it got a good ratings
Yeah…this episode wasn’t the best of the season…. we could get this kind of ratings for episode like “The Book Job” or “The Food Wife”…
