It also said that advertisers were paying a somewhat higher price for their commercials because of that. It's not much, but it may offset the decline in viewers to some extent. It's probably why Ford does all the car promotion on the show.
I'd post the article, but I can't find it any more.

TAR comes in 3rd with a median income of $75,700. Behind comedies Modern Family ($81,100) on ABC and Parks & Recreation ($81,000) on NBC. On the other end of the scale is FOX's animation line up (Bob's Burgers is $48,000, The Simpsons is $54,100 with the others in between) and 48 Hours ($54,000) on CBS. The general trend is that critically acclaimed shows are watched by higher income households.
Not to sound like an aristocratic jerk but by the looks of that list I watch a lot of shows in the higher income list.

Ok. Thanks.
Just didn't get American TV scheduling.
Mister RC:
I often wonder what the state of TAR would've been had CBS thought of moving TAR to Sunday in 2004. They originally were going to have Season 6 start on Saturday nights immediately following Season 5 (whew!) but instead chose to push the season back to November sweeps following the general election. That resulted in a rare winter sweeps finale, three weeks before Season 7 (Rob & Amber Show).
Instead they moved it back to Tuesday. IIRC, Seasons 6-7 were the series best seasons ratings wise; A Sunday move with football as a lead-in, that could've resulted in an epic run for the show that would have continued today. Back then, Sunday football was on ESPN (horrible match ups), but Desperate Housewives was a hit show (I think that was Sunday as well) so some conflict there.
Anyway, if the ratings are bad, it's because of real-life and the season as a whole; not so much because it's opposite NBC SNF or the Oscars. It hurts the numbers, but if this season had aired on Wednesday, it would've been pulled from the fall line-up.

So having something like this against TAR helps TAR in the ratings or am I missing something.

Not football on a competing network, but football on CBS itself leading into primetime. The audience from football usually sticks around for primetime which starts immediately after every other week, especially when TAR gets promoted a little bit during the morning and afternoon games.
Football on NBC hasn't really affected TAR that much, it's just that TAR's audience has been slowly declining (slower than the rest of broadcast primetime), but in the last two seasons has taken a sharper dip than usual. =(
