Are The US Networks Starting to Give Up On Sunday Evenings As Well?
Looking at last Sunday's ratings, other than 60 Minutes on CBS, it was pretty much football or repeats all evening long. With the exception of a repeat of Doc which came after the Packers/Eagles game, pretty slim pickin's and very skinny numbers on OTA TV stateside.

Why waste new episodes going up against a playoff NBC SNF game. Sunday Night Football has been the highest rated primetime series for 13 consecutive seasons [2011-24] breaking the previous record of 6 years by American Idol on FOX [2005-11] Plus with fewer episodes comprising a full season now [I think 22 down to 18] they must be rationed. This means plenty of weeks with endless reruns.

Add to that, Football is the only use left for broadcast TV for many, so even if a competing show gets a decent number of viewers, it's going to get swamped in share.
