Although it was pitted against a three-hour Survivor finale, last night’s game between the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys was yesterday’s hottest ticket. The event gave NBC a double-win in the ratings yesterday.

8pm

• Approximately 19.6 million watched the Cowboys pull out a win on Sunday Night Football (7.5/17 in 18-49).
• Around 14.9 million watched Bob Crowley win Survivor: Gabon (4.5/10).
• The Santa Clause 2 (2.7/7) had 8.7 million feeling jolly.
• The Simpsons* (5.7 million, 2.5/6) was off by 500,000; King of the Hill* (2.0/5) pulled in 4.6 million.
• CW‘s airing of Spaceballs (0.4/1) had 1.2 million laughing.

MONDAY (12/17)

• Duel (ABC, 8pm):  The first of six-airings this week.  In this game show, the contestants ‘challenge each other’s intellect and skill, but a single wrong answer disqualifies them from trying for the $1.5 million prize.’  Seriously - if a show is going to be named ‘Duel’, it should involve body blows.
• Clash of the Choirs (NBC, 8pm):  This four-part series brings us Michael Bolton, Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey and Kelly Rowland.  Surprisingly, this combo is not part of some VH1 program.
• Notes from the Underbelly (ABC, 9pm):  “Eric must organize a baby party without ruining friendships.”  His pals are all hoping they don’t have to come.
• Journeyman (NBC, 10pm):  “Dan is sent to rescue a mother and son in an RV hanging from a cliff.”  Just for clarification—do his travels always predate the existence of 911?
