AR #12 Ratings

Yeah Idol hurt it. But CBS out of all the networks has typically had programming that held up better agains't idol.
Typically different audiences watch CBS' shows. And as such they had hoped that Idol wouldn't have that effect onthis show.
For example NCIS, Crimal Minds suffer some loses but not nearly to that percentage agains't idol.
And from a business point of view. If you have a fairly stable lineup (which CBS does, more so then any network). You don't leave a show on, if its getting killed by the competition. Especially one that even before Idol was losing viewers (though creatively I think the show was stronger in the spring). You get rid of it, and try to develop something that is more successful.
Now the one thing CBS could ahve done (and probably would have if the show had performed initial stronger) is a shif in days to see if that would help (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't).

CBS won Sunday in all key measures with late running football leading into the Network's first run lineup of 60 MINUTES, THE AMAZING RACE 12, COLD CASE and SHARK, according to preliminary Nielsen live plus same day ratings for Dec. 9.

The rating a demo numbers are good, but with those numbers not reflecting the nearly half hour overrun, they are likely to change. I would expect that Cold Case's viewer total will go up slightly. TAR's viewer total should decline a little as will its demo.
It should still get a very good demo and a viewer total of 11 plus million. But it probably wont stay the highest rated of the last three.
But using those preliminary numbers:
Season 12 remains the 3rd most viewed cycle of the Amazing Race.
And in direct comparison to last seasons cycle.
Comparing the first 6 episodes of the fall cycle and cycle 10 averaged at this point 10.86 million viewers.
Cycle 10 1st 6 episodes 10.86 million
Cycle 10, week to week 11.40 million
Cycle 12 11.83 average if that preliminary number holds (even if it doesn't the show would have to drop to 8 million viewers to not still lead.
It is the only show on Sunday for CBS that is showing year to year gains.
But I expect the numbers for the next few episodes to be lower, due to the general decline of total households actually watching tv during the holiday season.
This might prevent this cycle from keeping its viewer average higher then season 10 (and season 5).
And another negative (though it is completely expected) is that this week last year actually had a far superior performance, due to it being season finale of cycle 10.
TARAsia Fan:
Next week, Survivor will get its regular 15 million viewers for its finale. But on December 23 & 30, I do expect the NFL overruns to help TAR once again.
