Fast National ratings for Sunday, January 23, 2011.Football continues to reign supreme as we close in on Superbowl Sunday. Last night's AFC Championship game between the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers was the highest rated AFC Championship since 1987, when the Denver Broncos beat the Cleveland Browns in overtime.
Otherwise, ratings across the board were soft on a very quiet Sunday night.
The game helped CBS climb to an average of 40.9 million viewers with an 21.5 rating/33 share in households. FOX's comedy block drew an average of 5.3 million viewers (3.1/5), ABC had 5.1 million (3.3/5), and NBC's "Sex and the City" lead-in only attracted an average of 3.5 million viewers (3.1/5).
In the key 18-49 demo, CBS lead with a 14.4 rating, followed by FOX (2.4), ABC (1.3) and NBC (0.8).

bye chuck,bye v,bye outsourced,bye detroit...im sorry...now all of you can write bad things about me!
How come Hawaii 5-0 is below NBC's Sex and the City when it was rated higher?
This chart is messed up. American Dad 7:30pm was a new episode, 9pm Sex and the City movie should be at the bottom of the chart and FamilyGuy at 9pm was a rerun. Same thing at 10pm Sex and the City movie should be at the bottom of that chart.
Just where the stupid douchebag *EOWS are, right here, such as yourself. To the author of this article, re-arrange the ratings for 9 and 10 PM ET as you have them all mixed up. I suggest proofreading before submitting.
where are the fake M eows today?
B, told the author to take care of it if she decides to do so.
*EOW, grow up you douchebag!
Cant wait for tonights CHUCK its going to be awsome, and the way its going and what ive heard from good sources, say hello to a 5th season.
P.S.
why would anyone waste time on larry ?????
Clearly, NBC's "clever" attempt last night to counter-program against CBS football was a dismal failure--regardless of how Carina tries to paint it. :-)
Sylvester is a louse.
What a Suprise Bob's Burgers is still losing viewers
