{alltv} TV ratings: U.S. Open finals secure Sunday win for NBC

Fast National ratings for Sunday, June 20, 2010

NBC easily won Sunday night when 10 million people watched Graeme McDowell become the first European to win the Golf U.S. Open Championships since 1970. Unsurprisingly, reruns of CBS's "I Get That A Lot," ABC's "Extreme Home Makeover," and Fox's animated comedies "The Simpsons" and "The Cleveland Show" couldn't beat it.

ABC premiered two new dramas on Sunday -- "Scoundrels" at 9 p.m. and "The Gates" at 10. Though the network was pleased that the dramas improved upon their timeslot last year, they couldn't beat out "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" on NBC or a rerun of "Cold Case" on CBS, respectively.
