Monday 11/25/13 Metered Markets
ABC Wins; NBC the Network to Beat in the Key Demos

Household
Rating/Share
ABC 8.9/14
NBC 6.8/11
CBS 4.4/ 7
Fox 4.3/ 6
CW 0.9/ 1

———-

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 11/26/12:
ABC: +31, Fox: +19, NBC and CW: no change each, CBS: -32

———-

-Winners:
“Dancing With the Stars” (ABC), “The Voice” (NBC), “Castle” (ABC), “The Blacklist” (NBC)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Hart of Dixie” (CW), “Beauty and the Beast” (CW), “Hostages” (CBS)

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another overnight Monday victory for ABC care of “Dancing With the Stars” and “Castle.” But the home of “The Voice,” NBC, will rule among adults 18-49 (and the other key demos), of course.

“Dancing With the Stars,” which concludes its current fall edition tonight, topped the evening in the overnights with a 9.7 rating/15 share from 8-10 p.m. And that led into a dominant 7.4/13 for “Castle” at 10 p.m. Both were on par with their week-ago overnight averages. “The Voice” on NBC scored a second-place 7.0/10 from 8-10 p.m., which was nine percent above the 6.4/10 on the year-ago evening (from 8-10 p.m.). And it led into a 6.6/11 (#2) for “The Blacklist” at 10 p.m., which was 27 percent above year-ago occupant “Revolution” (5.2/ 9 on 11/26/12). If NBC could boast ratings of this magnitude on all seven nights of the week, life would really be good at Peacock land.

CBS was slightly below average from 8-9 p.m. with “How I Met Your Mother” (#3: 5.1/ 8) and relocated “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 4.9/ 7) down by nine and eight percent, respectively, from one week earlier. “Mike & Molly” (featuring guest star Susan Sarandon) perked up to a 5.4/ 8 at 9 p.m., but lead-in “2 Broke Girls” is expected to have a notable advantage in the young demos. And worthy “Mom” at 9:30 p.m., which has found its funny bone by featuring more of Allison Janney, followed with a 4.6/ 7 at 9:30 p.m. (#3), which held 85 percent of the “Mike & Molly” lead-in.

Falling to make the grade once again was freshman Eye net drama “Hostages” at a distant third-place 3.2/ 6 at 10 p.m. Upcoming CBS midseason drama “Intelligence,” which will be airing Mondays at 10 p.m. in place of “Hostages,” will premiere in its regularly scheduled time period on January 13. A special preview will air on Tuesday, January 7 out of “NCIS” at 9 p.m. ET.

Over at Fox, week two of “Almost Human” as the 8 p.m. anchor dipped by eight percent with a fourth-place 4.4/ 7 at 8 p.m. (versus a 4.8/ 7 on Nov. 18). Comparably, that was also down by eight percent from year-ago occupant “Bones.” Next was demo friendly “Sleepy Hollow” at a fourth-place 4.2/ 6 at 9 p.m., which slipped by nine percent from the 4.6/ 7 one week earlier.

The CW, meanwhile, could not compete with relocated pairing of “Hart of Dixie” (#5: 1.0/ 2) and “Beauty and the Beast” (#5: 0.7/ 1).

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.

  1. I wonder what that means demo-wise for Almost Human.

  2. Fingers crossed that Almost Human had a small drop!

    ReplyDelete
  3. The Blacklist was just a tenth off from two weeks ago. Hoping for a 3.0 in the ratings! Also, Bill and Emma are off the show, Hallelujah! Emma is so talented but Bill is just an awful dancer. However, Bill E. cracks me up!

  4. Household numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I'm guessing a 2.1/2.2 for Castle. If it's lower than that I'll be very disappointed. It was one of the show's funniest episodes, if not the funnier.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Everything seems to be down, HH wise.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I hope Sleepy Hollow didn't drop by much.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I'm already out of town for the holidays. It's possible a lot of people went early, or are preparing for Thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure this entire week will be down.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I predict a 2.0/2.1 for Almost Human.

    ReplyDelete
  10. was Castle preempted again?

    Sleepy Hollow goes up against live shows though. The Blacklist shines cause the live shows are a lead in, and its the lead out for the night. Once it doesn't have to face competition like The Voice or DWTS, it should rise. Nobody's watching Almost Human because they want Bones back on Mondays. That's simple.

    ReplyDelete
  12. "Nobody's watching Almost Human" is a little exaggeration, don't you think?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I know lots of people that watch almost human. personally i don't watch it because i hate the two male leads, which is a shame because i like the storyline. Almost Human is just like AOS it was really hyped up and didn't live up to the hype. But thats what's happened to most shows in the last few years like Terra Nova

    ReplyDelete
  14. What are you basing yourself on for declaring that nobody is watching Almost Human, yet in the same paragraph you claim that the so far much lower rated DWTS is competition? Be consistent in your arguments.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Almost Human's ratings today and next week will determine if I should watch the episodes I have stock or to not start at all.

    ReplyDelete
  16. WTF Sleepy Hollow!! Why do the viewers keep falling! Grr

    ReplyDelete
  17. I am more worried about Almost Human. Sleepy Hollow is still the biggest hit of the season IMO, it will be fine especially since it's already been renewed.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Im really pissed off.i love AH why so low :(

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love Almost Human too. And I don't know about you guys but I think it's unfair when you judge a show when it's only two episodes in. I personally love the banter between the two male leads. I hope it survives.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Castle 2.1 *happy dance*

    ReplyDelete
  21. Wow at the blacklist keeping that 3.0 even after a break. That show is a hit. Happy for it!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Way to go Sleepy Hollow !!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. 1.9 for Almost Human? Wow. I'm pretty dissapointed! Yeah Sleepy Hollow dropped too but at least they renewed it.. I'm pretty sad about AH.. I liked that show

    ReplyDelete
  24. at with The Voice at a 3.3, it scored a 91% retention!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Almost Human :( its one of the new shows that i like please ratings go up.

  27. 2.2 for Sleepy Hollow?! That can't be right! Yay for The Blacklist maintaining that 3.0 and only a few points shy of The Voice demo!

    ReplyDelete
  28. YES! I'm Happy Mom Is Up...I Love That Show

    ReplyDelete
  29. Think the viewers for How I Met Your Mother are wrong, a 2.9 rating and 13.65 million?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah, I'm surprised Almost Human is so low, but I'm happy and not worried about Sleepy Hollow, especially since it's already renewed.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's more 86% because the voice did 3,5 in the last half hour which is the one that matters here, but still it's very very impressive. It's very rare to see a show holding so much audience from these mega hits (the voice, modern family, the big bang theory). I really think NBC should use it to anchor wednesdays next year.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Wouldn't you consider The Blacklist as the biggest hit of the season? Sure, it is aided by a HUGE lead-in but even with the Voice dropping like a stone, it maintained its ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Personally, I'd use it to rebuild their Thursday's since they're falling apart there and it would help strengthen their 10 p.m. hour, which has been notoriously difficult for them.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think I'm going to save Almost Human and catch up on it if it's renewed. I can't invest in a show that's already hitting the 1's, on Fox no less. I'm already worried about being burned by The Tomorrow People, Mom, The Crazy Ones, and Trophy Wife.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Those half hours for The Blacklist! Hope it adjusts up to that 3.2! Same for Sleepy Hollow's 2.3 in the first hour!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Doubtful that TBL adjusts up to a 3.2. If anything, it adjusts up a single tenth to a 3.1 or stays the same.

    ReplyDelete
  37. The Rate at which Almost Human is dropping its Almost sure to get cancelled

    ReplyDelete
  38. I would think Sleepy Hollow is the biggest hit of the season but today's results kind of change that a bit for me. Still, I say at the very least it's a tie. In raw numbers, The Blacklist has the edge, but then you should consider that: 1) Sleepy Hollow goes up against the strongest hour of the voice (as well as a mediocre but still worth considering DWTS and an hour of decently rated CBS comedies) whereas The Blacklist's biggest competition is solid, but unspectacular rated Castle (as well as Hostages, which is a big non entity ratings wise). 2) Lead-in still plays a major role. I think The Blacklist would most likely pull mid 2s on its own but that's exactly what Sleepy Hollow has been doing already (excluding today), always outgrowing it's lead-in in the process. The counter argument is that The Blacklist airs on a lower viewed hour and with less +SD viewing but I don't think it's enough to offset it. It's kind of pointless to debate though, both are big hits and I am sure networks would love more performers like them.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ok for Sleepy Hallow, just getting into it and I'm staying, Cant say the same for Almost Human, feels like a Saturday morning cartoon show I watched in my youth. 8pm Mondays now are a catch up time for my dvr.

    ReplyDelete
  40. HIMYM fell below a 3.0 for the first time this season. I really hope it adjusts up.Great for Mom, up three tenths from last week, I am glad it's back to >2.0. Mike and Molly also up two-tenths. 2 Broke Girls got a 2.7 for the third week running. Hostages up a tenth. Overall, a good night for CBS

    Almost Human fell below a 2.0 in the third episode, and second week. Not good. Sleepy Hollow also dropped three-tenths. Not good for FOX.
    The Blacklist is back in the 3 range. Really happy about that, it was a great episode.
    Also glad that Castle rose two-tenths. Any rating that is above 2.0 for it is fine for me.

    ReplyDelete
  41. On top of the lead in it has the most viewers (the true gauge of a hit as far as the audience is concerned) and has broken all kinds of network records for Live +3 DVR ratings as well.

    http://www.spoilertv.com/2013/11/the-blacklist-sets-another-new-ratings.html

    ReplyDelete
  42. I can see the argument for that, but I kind of think it's too risky. Wednesdays are more open at the moment. As big as it is, The Blacklist still needs some kind of protection. An example of a show that was asked to do more than it could in its sophomore season after a very successful freshman season is Revenge. That didn't really work. I don't like the risk involved in a move like that. I can understand the rationale but I think Wednesdays would be a better compromise. They could use SVU on Thursdays instead - I think it would gain a lot form being away from Criminal Minds. The Biggest Looser/SVU/Parenthood and then Revolution/The Blacklist/New Drama on Wednesdays while using Tuesdays for new comedies and Mondays for another new drama. But... who are we kidding, they are likely to insist on comedies on Thursdays for at least one hour and I don't think they can use TBL during fall again as I don't see what else they could replace the voice with next year.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Em cheio!! :)
    Hope it doesn't go down.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Season 2 w/o The Voice will tell if it is a true hit. I really hope that it can manage to get decent ratings next year.

    ReplyDelete
  45. NOTE: Last night’s Monday Night Football
    game (49ers/Redskins) was simulcast on the CBS affiliate in San
    Francisco. As a result, CBS numbers may be inflated and subject to
    more than typical adjustments in the finals



    Damn, I thought that was the case. I got happy about Mom's ratings for a second.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Revenge is a different situation. Not only it was going against every ratings juggernaut there was at Sunday at 9 p.m., it also suffered from a scheduling issue and diminishing quality throughout the second season, that massively impacted its ratings almost to a point of no return.
    Thursday's at 9 is a far-less competitive slot. All you have of value there is Grey's, and that is pulling 2.6-2.8. Unless CBS puts something there that pulls higher numbers, TBL should be relatively safe. On Wednesdays, you have Criminal Minds at a 2.8 and a Modern Family, that no longer the ratings giant of once, still pulls in numbers that would make most shows fall in shame. Sure, we have the yearly drops to consider but TBL will also have its own AND the fact that it no longer benefitted from the lead-in.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It should as TBL is no Revolution or Smash. Even with The Voice starting to go under (the erosion is tremendous), it has maintained its grip on that 3.0.

    ReplyDelete
  48. True, it's definitely holding up a lot better.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ah. That makes sense. I thought that 9pm hours was oddly up in a night where mostly everything else (excluding the blacklist was down).

    ReplyDelete
  50. Harry's Law begs to differ!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Great numbers for Castle!! Hope it stays like that!
    I know it's not the point of this topic, but can someone tell me, when will the Voice ended this year and when will it come back next year? What other show NBC will put instead of the Voice?
    Because I can find this information and I don't think NBC will end it and then put it back directly in january, no?

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'm really concerned for AH and its hindering me from starting the series. Glad for Mom but it's inflated but still good imo.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I realize that Revenge is an extreme case because of the scheduling issues and the cable competition - my point was just to illustrate that sometimes moderate expectations are better.


    I take your points about Wednesdays and Thursdays. Maybe you're right. I think I have a phsicological fear of sending a show I like to NBC Thursdays because it just appears that viewers want nothing to do with them. But I think it's not as simple as you insinuate. For starters, I doubt that CBS will tolerate that mediocre hour on such a prime day - I expect them to do something about it next year. Moreover, FOX is also clearly getting ready to attack on the night. Glee is gone and they will put Rake there in Spring and who knows what will happen there next year? I expect a brand new drama there with all their promotional machine behind them (and the following and sleepy hollow show FOX can launch dramas well). Then you also have ABC in which I am not entirely sure that they won't finally give in and do the move we've all been asking and do Greys/Scandal/Something else. Airing against scandal would be... a bad idea. Wednesdays do sound worse in theory, yes, but I think they are more open to a new show - everything there is aging. Modern Family is a powerhouse but it's not what it was 2 years ago and Criminal Minds is a hit but it can be handled too. Also, the 10pm hour is MUCH friendlier to launch a new show, which I think they should do with the blacklist as lead-in. Finally, Thursdays has football which is always a big problem for these shows that want to capture male viewers.



    Also, as much as I love the blacklist and I am impressed by its numbers, I still maintain that we are looking to mid 2s/low 2s, not the revolutionary low 3s it's pulling now.

    ReplyDelete
  54. It ends in December, not sure the exact day. In January, they will air The Sing Off (I believe, not 100% sure). In February, they have the Olympics. Presumably the Voice returns early March.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Good to see Dixie holding on to that .4 for dear life...

    ReplyDelete
  56. I understand you. I think I should have done the same. I am already in trouble with Revolution, The Tomorrow People and The Good Wife (as well as some comedies too). More bubbles was something I didn't need, but I think I enjoy it too much to skip it.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Thank you for your answer!
    Is the Sing off a new show? I've never seen it before ...
    Will NBC keep the Blacklist during the Voice hiatus or it will have a long hiatus like Revolution last year?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Don't forget Monday Night Football. Sleepy Hollow is also up against that.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Sleepy Hollow does better than The Blacklist on those numbers. Read recently that Live + 7 numbers give it something like at 75% increase.

    ReplyDelete
  60. It'll be fine. Live + 7 numbers are off the charts.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Almost Human. Why? :(


    No matter what happens I am sticking with this show. I love it too much.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm curious about that as well. Has NBC announced there schedule yet?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Blacklist has beaten Sleepy Hollow in Live+7 total viewer gains every week, also in the Live+7 ratings.. Although it Sleepy Hollow did beat Blacklist in total % gained a couple times. Even those weeks Blacklist gained more viewers and had a higher rating though.

  64. Some people are totally ridiculous with the downvote, just ignore it!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Now i'm getting a little worried about Almost Human.....

    ReplyDelete
  66. But what can CBS do on that 9 p.m. hour? Unless they shift/cancel the entire two hours sans TBBT there's nothing much they can do. Considering CBS has a thing for not moving shows around on their first seasons (something everyone should do), The Millers retention out of TBBT is sub-par, at best. 2.8 from a 5.3? Sure, they could slide the Millers and premiere a new comedy out of TBBT but then, it would just mean The Millers would settle for 2.0-2.5. Regardless of well its lead-in, it'd almost certainly fall away from that constant and consistent 5's TBBT pulls. And then, the 9:30 p.m. comedy would just sink even further. Either one of Monday's already declining comedies (2 Broke Girls, for instance) gets shipped to Thursday or CBS drops the extra hour of comedy all together and puts a new drama, premiering off the back of TBBT's most likely one hour premiere. Or, say, they move TBBT to 9. Although I fairly doubt that.
    I don't see much future from Rake, tbh. Is premiering post a dying Idol, and no show after Idol has managed much, even similarly music-themed Glee. Sure, ABC may finally give Scandal that coveted 9 p.m. slot on Thursdays while moving Grey's up an hour which would no doubt strength their night if Scandal's lead-out is compatible. However, I think is more likely to move either Scandal/Grey's to a new night and let them anchor a different, troublesome night. Which might backfire on them... Female-skewing Scandal/Grey's against equally female-skewing The Voice? Wouldn't fare too well for the show moved there, plus would be an incompatible lead-out to Shield, should it stay put, as well.


    9 p.m. at Wednesdays sounds fairly worse than Thursday's and will Modern Family has declined, we can't say for sure it will decline further, should the possible syndication mojo start to kick-in in the same way that it did for TBBT. Possible, but unlikely, sure.


    And, yes, The Blacklist's audience would go down a bit and settle what you're implying but it would still be worlds better than what the comedies are pulling on NBC and it would likely strength their weakest night, by far.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I can relate to what your saying. I find its missing something too,and yes i can't pinpoint it either. Its still early so i'll keep watching and waiting for the ratings on Tuesday...for now.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Doesn't mean it's not doing well because of Bones fans - the two shows don't really have necessarily the same TV viewers because AH has a science fiction theme in it. It's just not a show for everyone, plan and simple.


    Sci-fan/supernatural shows off the CW tend to do alright to bad - I've never had a "genre" show I've watched hit more than 11 million (tops) during its Pilot episode, and afterwards they drop. The fact that Sleepy Hollow (a show I also watch) is still dropping shows even "genre" shows that start off really well can go downhill.


    I find it funny how sci-fi/supernatural movies can do awesome in theaters but for TV shows it can be rough to find success.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think people are totally exaggerating. CBS is the only network whose ratings sometimes go up as the fall advances. All other networks see decreases in its ratings in most circumstances. Sleepy Hollow is more than fine.

  70. I think it looks bad but I don't think it's a certain cancellation yet. FOX has proven that it can do MUCH MUCH worse with its drama offerings in the recent past (Touch, Alcatraz, Terra Nova, The Finder, The Mob Doctor) just to name a few, not to mention how the show is still outperforming Glee, The X-Factor and the entire comedy block. It should also be pointed out that ratings are mostly depressed by now. The show will have the opportunity to grow a bit in January when the voice is out of the picture and hopefully it gets a minor boost from being paired with the end run of Sleepy Hollow and initial run of the Following. I think people are biased because of how well Sleepy Hollow and Bones were doing, but those are not league average type of shows, they are not the standard IMO.


    As for the show, I think what's off is the fact that they are changing the order of episodes so stuff seems dislocated and the relationships don't feel as organic as they should. I hate when they do that but there's nothing we can do. I thought this last episode was the best yet, I really loved it.

  72. Sometime I wonder if ''falling ratings'' don't create a panic effect like this. If people with the box start seeing the ratings drop and say ''I'm going to stop watching 'til it's renew'', the ratings will drop more and it will get cancel.

  74. Last week the hh was 7.6/13, but there were preemptions; I don´t know if there is any this week, so I have no idea about the demo.
