TV Ratings: Golf, ‘Undercover Boss’ give CBS a Sunday win
As so often happens, CBS coverage of a popular sporting event carried over into primetime through much of the country and both bumped and boosted the network’s entire primetime lineup. In this case, it was ending of the Masters, which pushed 15 minutes into primetime and added luster to what would have already been a solid Sunday win for the network.
In the 9 p.m. hour, CBS’ “Undercover Boss” (and a bit of “The Amazing Race” for much of the country) did an 8.3/13 and a 4.0 demo rating. The first hour of ABC’s two-hour “Brothers & Sisters” had a 5.8/9 for second. NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” finished third, beating the 3.5/6 for FOX’s “Family Guy” and “American Dad,” which were second for the hour in the demo with a 2.9 rating.

Undercover Boss Beats Celebrity Apprentice In Ratings
It turns out we’d rather watch our bosses work behind the scenes secretly than fire people publicly, even celebrities, as early ratings from Sunday night show Undercover Boss beating Celebrity Apprentice in the ratings. CBS appears to have a bona fide hit on its hands as it’s the clear winner this past Sunday night, beating it’s lead-in shows 60 Minutes and The Amazing Race, as well as everything else on the other networks.
