All shows in Fox’s weekly Animation Domination last night were up on last week’s, and what’s more, a new episode of The Simpsons won the night for the third time this season, with 8.9 million tuning in, a 27% increase on last week’s 7.39 million.
Family Guy was a close second with 8.48 million watching (13% increase); new episodes of The Cleveland Show and American Dad scored 7.2 (6% increase) and 6.4 million (18% increase) viewers respectively. Fox was 3rd overall on the night on both the Adults 18-49 and 18-34 ratings shares.

The next new episode, “O Brother, Where Bart Thou”, airs December 13th on Fox.
I have liked every show so far this season and this is no exception. This season has really improved in the writing and funniness of episodes. The bop-it sequence was priceless. the story was intriguing and really entertaining. 5/5. Glad to see the viewer ship staying up.
The episode is meh. 3/5 stars for me. At least it beated Family guy.
What happened to Marbat and his ratings? haha they disappeared!
The story was really good. Overall, a great episode. I thought it was funny how two of the act breaks showed someone about to die. Homer and the grenade and chief Wiggum about to shoot himself in the face.
Last week’s episode had 6.883 million viewers, just for the record.
I am really exited! I notice this time the writers are coming up with ideas, and not just recycling. Kudos
Fox_Executive, no, you’re wrong. Anyway, it should be noted that the 19-49 demo of the simpsons (4.2) was not as high as Family guy’s (4.4)
This episode was not bad. Great couch gag even though i thought last weeks was better.
I can’t wait for the next episode. Good ratings too.
Also i wonder if the next episode will have a christmas twist to it.
Just saying.
Thought the first act was great especially the Bambi part. But, the rest just wasn’t that good in my opinion. I’d say 2.5/5 stars.
Fantastic! glad we finally beat family guy. i really enjoyed this episode
The episode was good i especially liked the beginning.
my overall score is 7.9/10
Loved it!
What a great season so far!
My fave episode was Lisa the Drama Queen and this one is right up there with it. I love how Lisa is so smart, is a vegitarian, cares about the world and is now starting to embrace magic. Lisa Lovers Unite!
Don’t understand the ratings, more unpredictable than, well, Wigan (football reference there, I couldn’t think of owt else). But y’know, if its getting good ratings, this is always good news.
And if its a good episode, that also helps too.
Brilliant episode! I especially loved first part of the episode, but plot and ending were rather nice.
I don’t think that it’s bad because we have modern animation in the show, like in the Simpsons Movie. First few minutes really reminded me of the Alaska part of the Movie, which was my favorite. Hope that other Christmas time episodes will also have lovely scenes like this episode.
Also hope that rates will maintain stable in the future. I don’t expect some enormously big number (over 10 million), I hope that it will stay round 9 millions.
I hope that The Simpsons goes back to the glory years when it got 12 million or at least it becomes moreviewed than Family Guy although I think Family Guy is funny. I hope they create a spin-off
i liked every episode this season except this one,ill give some credit,it was okay but ive seen much better this season alone yet along the old more popular episodes
