Last night, I made a comment about the Emmys hitting a new low. Apparently it was more than a just a joke. Yesterday’s telecast - which was pitted against a football game - received its smallest numbers to date. Meanwhile, NBC was once again on top with both the viewers and the demos.

8pm

• Approximately 19.2 million watched the Cowboys defeat the Packers on Sunday Night Football (8.1/19 in 18-49).
• The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards (3.8/9) had 12.2 million confused from the start.
• Cold Case* (2.4/6) kicked off CBS’ evening with 10.4 million.
• The Simpsons* (2.3/6) averaged 5.1 million over an hour.
• A Privileged* rerun (1.1 million, 0.4/1) pulled in 900,000 less than before.
