CBS feasted on a huge NFL overrun Sunday night that boosted 60 Minutes as well. Tracker was down two hundred thousand viewers. The Road picked up one hundred thousand viewers. After last week's highly successful crossover, both NCIS and NCIS: Origins were up one hundred thousand viewers from their last, non-crossover episode. Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was up three hundred thousand viewers. The Neighborhood and Ghosts were even. New comedy series, DMV was even with the previous week and seems to have settled. It's currently the lowest-rated comedy for the network, but with The Neighborhood ending after this season, there may be schedule space for it next season.

NBC also ran little in the way of scripted content last week. Law & Order was up two hundred thousand viewers. Law & Order: SVU was up one hundred thousand viewers. Brilliant Minds was even with its last new episode, however, sub-two million viewers for a drama is not good. Chances are the series will be cancelled at the end of its current run. St Denis Medical was down one hundred thousand viewers. Happy's Place and Stumble were both even with the previous week.
