Plaidmoon:
Thanks for posting that, RaceUntilWeDie.

While the numbers look dismal, the Oscars killed everybody last night. I'll take away the good news that 60 Minutes and TAR were the only shows with over 5 million viewers last night and we held on to 2/3 of last week's audience. Hopefully some of the ones watching the Oscars recorded TAR for later viewing (like I did).  :) Still, I doubt if TAR will be in the top 30 shows this week, since it's situation normal for shows on the other 6 days of the week.

Here's last year's numbers for comparison (as provided by theschnauzers in the TAR 20 ratings thread):

This week's numbers are so low, that CBS did not release a press release for either the overnights or the weekly finals (or at least as of yet.) TV By The Numbers, however, reports the follow as final numbers for episode 2:
http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/02/28/sunday-final-ratings-amazing-race-adjusted-up-academy-awards-final-ratings/122223/

    8:00PM    ABC    Oscar's Red Carpet Live    6.2    16    24.070
       CBS    The Amazing Race    2.2    5    7.710
       FOX    The Simpsons -R    1.6    4    3.830
       NBC    The Celebrity Apprentice -R    0.8    2    2.530

The 2.2/5 is the 18-49 rating/share, and the 7.710 is the total audience in 000s. And of course these numbers are only for the live plus same day audience, and does not include any time shifted viewing after Sunday night. (Which is more likely this week since the Oscars do run past prime-time.)

So we were down about a million viewers from last year, but the Oscars Red Carpet show was up 7 million viewers. Also, as we've seen the viewer trend overall is downward, so that accounts for some of the losses. So, overall, I'd say it was a one night ratings dip due to being against the Oscars and next week should be much better. I also expect the ratings will get adjusted upward in the fibal ratings for last night.

Hopefully we will make it up in the DVR numbers!

theschnauzers:
As it turns out, on the east coast feed, if you switched to the Oscars once TAR was over, you only missed one award (Best Supporting Actor); most of the time before that was for the Red Carpet pre-show, and Seth MacFarland's opening. (And from what I've read, I really did not miss much.)

The thing is that the Oscars run so long (4 hours) that the TAR viewership on the west coast is also affected, and they're getting the final major awards during the time TAR is airing there. So that may have had a larger impact relatively since TAR is rarely affected on the west coast.

RaceUntilWeDie:
The Amazing Race was adjusted up a tenth among adults 18-49 versus Sunday's preliminary ratings. Also find final numbers for the Oscars below.
