A total of 6.05 million viewers watched last night’s episode ‘To Surveil With Love’, again, a slight increase on last week which is good to see. A repeat at 7.30 had just 2.42 million viewers, but this timeslot fails to draw viewers no matter what Fox puts there.

A total of 5.93 million viewers tuned in to watch last night’s new episode ‘Chief Of Hearts’. These figures are a slight improvement over what we’ve been seeing recently. Fox was last overall for the night in total viewers, as well as in the target 18 – 49 demographic. This is due to most of their lineup being reruns (The Simpsons and American Dad being the only exceptions). The Country Music Awards on CBS won the night, but probably didn’t take away much of Fox’s demographic.

Last night’s ‘American History X-Cellent’ saw a total of 5.65 million viewers tune in — a now average figure for the show, which places it as the fourth least watched episode in the show’s history. It bumps last week’s episode ‘The Greatest Story Ever D’ohed’ out of the bottom five.

Last night’s episode ‘The Greatest Story Ever D’ohed’ had a total of 5.70 million viewers. These figures bump season 20’s ‘Lisa The Drama Queen’ off the bottom five least watched episodes of all time, which now includes four episodes from the current season:

Last night’s new episode ‘Postcards From The Wedge’ drew an audience of 5.23 million viewers – dangerously close to its all-time lowest figures. In fact, it had the third-lowest ratings on record. Unlike the previous lows this season, the show did not run against “event television” such as the Grammy’s or a major sporting event. Here’s the breakdown for the half-hour:

Olympic-themed episode ‘Boy Meets Curl’ served as an alternative to the Winter Olympics last night, but the majority of the audience preferred to tune in to the real deal, delivering the show it’s fifth lowest ratings of all time. A total of 5.87 million viewers watched the show, slightly up on this month’s other episode ‘Million Dollar Maybe’, but largely down on average. The show was fourth-placed in its timeslot at 8.00pm. Here’s the half-hour breakdown.

In the space of three weeks, The Simpsons can go from having its highest ratings in five years, to the lowest ratings of all time in the very next episode. Last night’s episode drew a meager 5.11 million viewers. Seeing an animated Coldplay or a ‘viewer-designed’ character couldn’t save the show, and indeed, Fox, from being slaughtered by the competition.

Preliminary figures are in for Sunday’s 450th episode ‘Once Upon a Time in Springfield’. The show was bumped to an after-8pm timeslot due to an overrun of Fox’s NFL coverage, but the 8pm half hour averaged a whopping 21.01 million viewers. These figures will be adjusted later in the week, but we can already tell you before the adjustments that this will be the most-watched episode of Seasons 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 (season 16’s post-Superbowl episode had 23.1 million viewers).

The Simpsons topped ratings last night with 8.65 million tuning in to watch “Thursdays With Abie” at 8:30pm, up by an impressive 25% on the last new episode.

A total of 7.11 million viewers watched last night’s episode ‘O Brother, Where Bart Thou?’ Family Guy had 7.68 million viewers, making it the top watched animated show of the night. The Cleveland Show continues to pull reasonable figures at 6.52 million, and American Dad had 6.19 million viewers at the end of the night.
