This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)
The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)
For more information on the Nielsen Ratings see this Wikipedia Entry.
NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.
Each day (except Sunday) we post the TV Ratings for the previous night.
The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above.
Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below)
If you’re interested in Ratings/Renewal/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
Ouch Cult.
ReplyDeleteGolden Boy moving to Friday was not a good move and since Vegas is moving to Fridays it will definitely be cancelled in May
ReplyDeleteWas expecting a 1.8 for Grimm rather than a 1.5. :(
ReplyDeleteI guess it's not much of a difference since it was already dead on Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteIt's still doing better than most of the other NBC shows. :).
ReplyDeleteCSI NY did better on Friday's. CBS should leave it alone!
ReplyDeleteYay for Grimm! Hopefully it gets renewed for a third season.
ReplyDeleteI thought Grimm would have been higher....
ReplyDeleteOuch Grimm. Maybe I wasn't the only one who forgot it was on last night? (I was all excited it was back and an hour after it aired I remembered it!)
ReplyDeleteNikita seems to have done better rating wise this week. I'm just hoping for one last final season.
Yay for Nikita, Grimm is a bit disappointing. It needs a good lead in, one of its best was when Mockingbird Lane was its lead in. NBC should have picked it up
ReplyDeletePlease don't adjust down Nikita! (I've heard the half-hours were 0.4 and 0.3, so it could...)
ReplyDeletenikita and cult are at the bottom..so sad :( i'm glad grimm came back
ReplyDeleteMost CW shows are like that.
ReplyDeleteIt's decent for a show that's sandwiched between poorly rated shows and came after a long hiatus.
ReplyDeleteI kinda understand the appeal of (un)Reality TV, but it kills me that we want to watch dirty laundry instead of good story telling. Okay, so Shark Tank is like a talent hunt and that is fun, but everyone should watch Nikita over Kitchen Nightmares.
ReplyDeleteThose were the half hours but half hours do not have anything to do with adjustments. Adjustments come primarily from shows running over the scheduled time (even by a minute or two), starting late, or being pre-empted.
ReplyDeleteGrimm is doing just fine with these ratings. It actually scored higher than its midseason return last year and it was a much longer hellatus this time around. Here's hoping NBC moves it off Fridays next year.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is sad on so many levels. I have high hopes for Grimm next week, now that everyone hopefully knows it's back, so there's that. Fridays on the CW should just be movies or something at this point, it's really sad.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's the worst rating for the season, but yeah, it is low. Hopefully it was just that people forgot, though personally, I'm very meticulous & never allow myself to forget my shows & I would hope that people with a box would be at least as meticulous, since their viewership can make or break a show.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
