A NASCAR overrun may have been the highest-rated show of the night.
ABC: ONCE UPON A TIME rose 0.2 from last week to 2.2, but it’s still hovering half a point below its season average. REVENGE edged up 0.1 to 1.8 (down 0.4 from season average), and RED WIDOW bid adieu by climbing 0.2 to 0.9.
CBS: Airing against the NASCAR overrun, 60 MINUTES fell 0.3 to a season low 1.2. The 2-hour AMAZING RACE season finale was down 0.1 from last week (and also down 0.3 from last May’s finale and 0.4 from this year’s fall finale) to 2.3. THE MENTALIST was up slightly to 1.7.
NBC: After a 0.9 rerun of THE VOICE, CELEBRITY APPRENTICE fell 0.2 to tie its series low 1.4.
FOX: Because of the NASCAR overrun, The Cleveland Show didn’t air, and the network’s other 4 animations were essentially out of time period (beginning 25 minutes late). In preliminary numbers, that had the effect of sending THE SIMPSONS way up and FAMILY GUY way down, but those will shift when final ratings are in.
All the networks have new episodes of their regular series tonight except for FOX, which aired its Monday season finales last week. Tonight it has a RIHANNA 777 concert special before a rerun of BONES.

Sunday preliminary broadcast ratings: 60 Minutes and the CBS 7:00-7:30 half hour specifically inflated by 10 minutes of the end of Masters coverage from 7:00-7:10 pm (mostly the monumentally awkward and amazingly tense ceremony in “Butler Cabin,” where the Green Jacket is awarded).

THE SKED’S SUNDAY NETWORK SCORECARD – 12/2/12
ABC’s Fall Finale Sunday was a moderate success. ABC: ONCE UPON A TIME could only hold even at 3.1 for its last episode of 2012. REVENGE climbed 0.2 to 2.4, but that didn’t put it far above last week’s season low. For what it matters, 666 PARK AVENUE was also…

Not a tuneful evening. ABC: The AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS collapsed to a 3.4, the highest non-football of the night and somewhat higher than what ABC has been doing on Sundays, but down 0.9 from last year’s telecast. FOX: Without the benefit of last Sunday’s NFL overtime lead-in, THE SIMPSONS and…
