TV Ratings: Dipping Pro Bowl Tops Night, ‘Good Wife’ Hits Low

The 2013 Pro Bowl gave NBC a win among adults 18-49 and total viewers Sunday night.

With the pregame special (3.0 adults), the network averaged a 3.3 adults rating and 9.9 million viewers.

The Fox animation block started with an encore of Bob’s Burgers before a new episode of The Cleveland Show (1.2 adults) was down 8 percent. A steady Simpsons (2.4 adults) led into an original Bob’s Burgers (2.0 adults), down 13 percent from two weeks ago. Family Guy (2.8 adults) and American Dad (2.1 adults) also were down 13 percent. Fox averaged a 1.9 rating with 18-49-ers and 3.9 million viewers.
