TARAsia Fan:
Just barely out of the Top 20. I think people have gotten used to having TAR in the 8 p.m. Sunday timeslot. Very good finish especially with NBC getting record ratings for Sunday Night Football with a close competitive game.
mswood:
At 11.8 its still above average for this time of the year.
But if the overrun was just 20-30 minutes I suspect they would have scored higher, still.
