Down a Wee Bit

Prime Time animation returned to the broadcast lineup Sunday night, and is pretty much stet (altough slightly negative) to the numbers it owned pre sports finals.

With baseball playoffs over, Fox returned its regular Sunday "Animation Domination" lineup, which finished with a third-place 1.9 rating/5 share with adults 18-49, according to Nielsen overnight numbers.

The Simpsons returned down 17% to a 2.5, while Bob's Burgers was off by 5% from its last original four weeks ago to a 1.8. American Dad fell 10% to a 1.9 and Family Guy returned even with a 2.5. ...

The long-time lineup of cartoons will be shifting next season, what with American Dad going off to TBS, and a half-hour slot opening up. How that changes things long term, we'll have to wait to find out.
