overnight numbers. Airing at 8 p.m., 60 Minutes drew a 2.4, Amazing
Race posted a 2.0 while The Good Wife garnered a 1.7 at 10 p.m. The
Mentalist aired outside of the Sunday 7-11 p.m. primetime window.

episode to a season-low 1.8, while Bob's Burgers dropped 6% to a 1.6. Family
Guy declined 8% to a 2.4 and American Dad fell 13% to a 2.0. At 7:30
