———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC opened the week on a winning overnight note, once again, with a 14 percent advantage over No. 2 NBC. But NBC is a lock among adults 18-49 (and the other key young adult demos) thanks to “The Voice” and this season’s biggest new hit, “The Blacklist.” And ABC, unfortunately, could finish as low as No. 4 in adults 18-49. But, hey…viewers over age 50 should still matter.

“Dancing With the Stars” led the night in the overnights with an 8.8 rating/13 share from 8-10 p.m., which comparably was 13 percent below the 10.1/15 on the year-ago evening. SPOILER ALERT: If you don’t want to know who exited last night, skip the remainder of this paragraph. But Elizabeth Berkley… you were totally robbed. Obviously, many of the “Blue Collar Comedy Tour” fans are watching “Dancing With the Stars” given that Bill Engvall made it into the semi-finals.

“Castle” capped off the night with a dominant 6.8/12 in the overnights at 10 p.m., which was one-tenth of a rating point (or one percent) above competing “The Blacklist” on NBC (6.7/12). “Castle” was on par with the year-ago evening, while demo dominant “The Blacklist” outdelivered former time period occupant “Revolution” (4.6/ 8 on 11/12/12) by a considerable 46 percent.

Third-place CBS had a typical Monday, with freshman “Hostages” at 10 p.m. the weak link at a distant third-place 3.3/ 6. Comparably, that was 40 percent below year-ago time period occupant “Hawaii Five-O” (5.5/ 9 on 11/12/12). At this point, it looks like the Eye net will appropriately keep “Hostages” in the time period until the 16 ordered episodes conclude and upcoming midseason drama “Intelligence” is ready.

Earlier in the evening on CBS was the revised rotation of sitcoms “How I Met Your Mother” (5.4/ 8), “2 Broke Girls” (5.4/ 8), “Mike & Molly” (5.7/ 9) and “Mom” (4.6/ 7) at typical overnight levels. Each finished third in their time periods in the overnights, with retention for “Mom” out of “Mike & Molly” of an adequate 81 percent.

“Bones,” which shifts to Fridays at 8 p.m. (into returning “Raising Hope”) this week, opened on Fox with a respectable 4.7/ 7 (#4) at 8 p.m. And that led into a now typical 4.4/ 7 (#4) for already renewed “Sleepy Hollow” at 9 p.m., which was double the 2.2/ 3 for failed “Mob Doctor” on the year-ago evening. As always, “Sleepy Hollow” is expected to build from “Bones” by double-digit percentages among adults 18-49.

The CW, meanwhile, remained out of the competitive loop care of “Hart of Dixie” (#5: 1.1/ 2) and sophomore “Beauty and the Beast” (#5: 0.7/ 1), which has sunk to oblivion minus the former lead-in support from “The Vampire Diaries.”

About the Daily Ratings

Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.

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).

Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.

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). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent Ratings FAQ.

  1. Yay Sleep Hollow! :) Looking forward to the demo numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Looks like a very typical night. I think the blacklist is legit.

    ReplyDelete
  3. All I hope is that Bones got at least a 2.0.

    ReplyDelete
  4. It probably did, but I think the rating it gets today it is 100% irrelevant for its future renewal or cancellation though!

    ReplyDelete
  5. I´m expecting a 1.9/2.0 for Castle...

    ReplyDelete
  6. 'The Blacklist' is a definite hit!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I am sorry to ask but why do you keep expecting 1.9s for Castle every week? I find it funny but you are very pessimistic every week :P

    ReplyDelete
  8. Maybe Dixie up to 0.5? Can't wait to see.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Probably true, but I still want it to do well.


    And if The X Factor (and/or Glee) does bad again, I'll be really mad. I know it's off-topic, but I'm just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Every week you're incredibly negative in regards to Castle, rather it be total viewers being down or the demo. It's getting comical at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I think you should regard the move to Fridays as a sign that they trust that the show is capable of lifting Fridays and that Glee would not be, it's the way I see it and it's the only logic that justifies it. In that sense, it should not be seen as a punishment but as a vote of confidence of sorts. The same way LMS and MC were put on Fridays last year on ABC; the hope was that they were strong enough to open a comedy hour there, they were not send there to die. I don't think Glee could have done that. As for The X-Factor, although I think they would be better served by having Bones on Thursday instead of The X-Factor at this point, it's mid November, which means there is only one more month of X-Factor, then it's break and then it's American Idol, which as weaker as it may be, it is still stronger than the x-factor, so things are different.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Dixie actually got a 0.5 a few weeks ago. I don't know why but sometimes shows get post day adjustments (even after final numbers). If you see the L7 numbers for this week that were posted here yesterday, you see that Dixie's Live+SD number was a 0.5. This is more for our enjoyment than for anything though, because those type of changes have likely no statistical impact on the show's profitability and renewal/cancellation chances.

    ReplyDelete
  13. “Beauty and the Beast” (#5: 0.7/ 1), which has sunk to oblivion minus the former lead-in support from “The Vampire Diaries.”

    Only fools think lead ins have to do with crappy Nielsen ratings. BATB ratings have sunk because Nielsen ratings are more dependent upon surrounding competition, not on what show leads in another. In other words, BATB got screwed due to its move to the surrounding competition on Monday night. Flip HOD and BATB and you would see the ratings flip. That's how statistically irrelevant Nielsen ratings have become.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Your comment makes no sense at all. Let me comment on some aspects:
    - Lead-ins obviously have to do with the ratings a show gets. Beauty and the Beast is one proof of that. Do you want more? Let's see... The Millers falls when TBBT doesn't air, Super Fun Night falls when MF doesn't air, Revolution fell airing sans the Voice, Go On increase when aired after the voice again, Private Practice fell when moved away froM GA... Should I continue?
    - What do you mean with ratings being dependent on competition? Sure, ratings tend to decline when a show has more competition, but they also tend to decline when a show airs out of a worse-lead in.
    - No, Beauty and the Beast got screwed because it didn't have its own audience that would follow it to its new day. It showed that there were a lot of people only airing it because it was on after The Vampire Diaries.
    - The fact that Hart of Dixie's ratings are also bad doesn't mean Beauty and the Beast's ratings are good. I do agree with you that there is a chance the ratings would flip if the shows were swapped (or at least, that both would score the same), but so what? Beauty and the Beast would still be cancelled and Hart of Dixie would still be renewed. Differences of 0.1 are statistically meaningless for the most part.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I never blamed Dixie's for Beauty's failure, when did I say such a thing? Of course the lead-in doesn't help but the show is sinking on its own regardless. I never said the opposite!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Not every person searches for the remote every hour. There are quite a few stick to the same channel for the entire night.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wasn't that 0.5 adjusted down to 0.4 in the final ratings and was inflated by one of the channels airing sports instead of HoD?

    ReplyDelete
  18. 2.5 for Sleepy Hollow is good. It seems to have stabilized.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Sleepy Hollow is even with last week.

    ReplyDelete
  20. No, that was a 0.6 I think. I don't know why these post finals adjustments happen but they do in very rare instances.

    ReplyDelete
  21. maybe half the audience just stopped watching because they didnt like the show?

    ReplyDelete
  22. HoD was adjusted down in two tenths that week and B&tB was adjusted by 0.3. I don't remember a week of it getting more than 0.4 on the finals. Was it adjusted up post-final in the Live+7 DVR reports?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think in case of Glee the younger audience and the higher ad rates speaks in their favor. Fox simply makes a lot of money out of it to put it on Friday at this point. And i wouldn't say Friday move is bad for Bones especially if it stays in the range of 1.5 -1.7. Shows can have good ratings on Friday (Grimm) and stay there for more then one season.

    ReplyDelete
  24. At least we know Bones will be renewed. I personally would like to see Glee moving to Fridays and Bones moving to Thursdays at 9PM, but the competition is much more fierce at Thursdays than Fridays, so at least competition-wise, Friday is better. Plus, XFactor's lead-in is pretty much a joke these days.

    ReplyDelete
  25. The Blacklist is extremely impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  26. No, not you, I was commenting to you and then adding thoughts to above. Sorry!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Oh, interesting. It rarely happens and what it does, it usually happens to the CW.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Last year I remember it happened once to Parenthood and once to Chicago Fire, it was when I learned that these existed.

    ReplyDelete
  29. It happened to TVD last year IIRC twice.

    ReplyDelete
  30. The Blacklist - 3.0! Up from last week!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Isn't there a mistake for Castle's viewers? I don't understand how it can have lower viewers than the Blacklist but still have a better results (6.8/12 compared to 6.7/12).
    Just asking because I find this odd :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yeah you're right but I would think they are pretty rare or else we would probably hear more about them I think. Regardless, as I say all the time, 0.1-0.2 changes are meaningless.

  34. They measure different things..The 6.8 is the household rating (how many houses were watching), the number of viewers is how many people with age >2 were watching. Because not all houses have the same number of people living in them, you cannot extrapolate from one number to the other.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow at Castle jumping from that 1.7 to a 2.0 at 10pm. Very impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yup, especially when we get only one data point. If a show gets 0.5 it ranges between 0.45 to 0.54, and it can be very close to 0.4 and 0.6.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yeah, the rounding error is another problem very often. For instance, The Tomorrow People was virtually stable from the first episode to the second (it lost something like 0.05%, which is as stable as it gets) and if you look at the rounded demo, it looks like an 11% drop!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Sleepy Hollow might even adjust up, It had 2.5\2.6 half hours. Nice!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I didn't know. But I still find it odd because the last weeks, Castle was also 0.1 over the Blacklist in the household rating, and it always end up being stronger than the Blacklist in total viewers. So that's why, I asked if there wasn't a mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yeah, and people talked constantly about Arrow premiering with lower than 1.0 when it had 0.93 and was very close to that 1.0 rating..

    ReplyDelete
  41. Question: Is the 10.09 audience for Castle a typo and it should say 10.9
    or is that the real number? Because it said that the household share
    was a little above the Blacklist, shouldn't that translate into the
    viewer numbers? I honestly have no idea if that's the case so it would
    be nice if s/b cleared that up for me. Thank you! :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. No, 10.09 is correct. Household numbers are meaningless for total viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  43. They measure different things..The 6.8 is the household rating (how many houses were watching), the number of viewers is how many people with age >2 were watching. Because not all houses have the same number of people living in them, you cannot extrapolate from one number to the other.

    ReplyDelete
  44. You are trying to extrapolate conclusions from households to total viewers. You cannot do that. It may be that the 0.1 difference that Castle had over the blacklist last week were houses with more viewers and this week were not watching. Don't try to extrapolate, you cannot.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The winners of the night for me are How I Met Your Mother for continuing the impressive feat of hanging on to a 3.0 level, The Blacklist and also Castle, for jumping from a 1.7 to a 2.0 at 10pm facing the 3.2 from the blacklist. Bones, Sleepy Hollow and 2 Broke Girls also did okay.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ah ok, I didn't know. It's just that Castle always happened to have a higher number in total viewers in the last weeks while having simultaneously one rating point more than the Blacklist. So I thought they were connected! Thanks for your answer! :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah indeed. Besides, when shows are that close to the .5 mark, they are most likely to adjust upwards or downards when the C3 numbers come in and those are the ones that actually count. I mean, I still celebrate small deviations from my shows and final adjustments and all, but when analyzing the actual ratings, trends and renewals prospects I ignore all those, because they mean nothing statistically speaking.

    ReplyDelete
  48. HH and total viewers are different things so higher HH doesn't necessarily mean higher viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  49. No problem :)

    Try reading the FAQ linked to in the articles. It's very good for understanding Ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Thank you for answering! See my answer to the admin above of why I thought those numbers were related. :)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Sleepy Hollow is a winner in my book, it's my favorite new show this year, and I'm glad it's holding on well.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yeah, I'm not from the US so it's always a little difficult for me, but I will have a closer look at it! :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yes, I agree, it should be a winner as well. I think it has a chance of going up a bit next week if Almost Human debuts well.

    ReplyDelete
  54. So, if household doesn't reflect the viewers nor the rating, what's the point to have it, and how can you determinate if a show did great or not based on it? Thanks for your answers!

    ReplyDelete
  55. How do you know that Bones will be renewed? Was it announced? Did I miss it?

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm guessing it will be renewed based on the ratings. The only way it won't be renewed imo is if David doesn't want to continue for another season.

    ReplyDelete
  57. with so many rumors, who knows if he will continue. Can trust nobody today :-)

    ReplyDelete
  58. David has said multiple times that he is not leaving at the end of this season and Emily confirmed they're both signed on for season ten.

    ReplyDelete
  59. David tweeted a fan only recently that he has a contract through S10 and will definitely return if they are picked up.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Really glad Sleepy Hollow is steady!

    ReplyDelete
  61. By the looks of it not only lead ins matter but also lead outs. Looking at Arrows last season being paired up with Supernatural might've done Arrow more favours than one would imagine.


    If BatB would be paired up with a show more fitting to its genre the ratings might rise

    ReplyDelete
  62. You can't, basically. The only reason we look at it is because it comes out earlier. Also, it does give some very rough ideas. Like if a show has very large household numbers, it is unlikely to have very low ratings and vice versa. But this only works for shows with very large or very low numbers. Most shows are in-between so we don't really get a meaningful idea from them. However, they are also used to evaluate the popularity of the show statistically. Said popularity, however, has no bearing on its renewal chances.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I agree that lead-outs also help, though not nearly to the same extent.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Sleepy Hollow was good last night! And I finally caught a new HoD episode, not surprised by the drop in ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  65. don't know why someone disagreed with you, its numbers so far this season are impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  66. "You're telling me that BATB got over HALF of its audience due to TVD from last year?"
    Yeah, I watched most of the first season because it followed TVD. I didn't like it enough to follow it to another night. I haven't watched one episode of this season.

  67. Devon Maxwell-PierceNovember 12, 2013 at 8:58 PM

    It was a 1.9. LOL

  68. How can he keep putting HIMYM in "Honorable mention" when it's the top rated non-reality show in the demo?
