Metered Market Tuesday Ratings
Clean Sweep for CBS; “The Voice” Will Lead Demographically

Tuesday 3/18/14

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 8.9/14
NBC 5.6/ 9
ABC 2.3/ 4
Fox 2.0/ 3
CW 1.3/ 2

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Wednesday 3/20/13:
NBC: +155, CW: +86, CBS: – 4, Fox: -37, ABC: -65

———-

-Winners:
“NCIS” (CBS), “The Voice” (NBC), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS), “Person of Interest” (CBS)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe” (ABC), “Glee” (Fox), “Trophy Wife” (ABC), “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (Fox), “Mind Games” (ABC)

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another Tuesday overnight household sweep for CBS with its line-up of “NCIS” (10.8 rating/17 share – #1 for the night), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8.8/14) and “Person of Interest” (7.1/12). But a rock-solid 8.2/13 for competing “The Voice” on NBC in the 8 p.m. hour will clearly lead the evening in adults 18-49 (and all key demos).

NBC 9-10 p.m. sitcoms “About a Boy” (#2: 4.8/ 7) and “Growing Up Fisher” (#2: 3.8/ 6) continue to capitalize from the support of “The Voice,” besting ABC’s competing “The Goldbergs” (#3: 3.0/ 5) and “Trophy Wife” (#3: 2.3/ 4) by an average of 62 percent. And that proves, of course, that lead-in still matters. Minus “The Voice,” both sitcoms would be rating considerably lower.

Sophomore “Chicago Fire” closed the night on NBC with a second-place 4.3/ 7 at 10 p.m., which should be enough to compete for dominance in the hour demographically against older-skewing “Person of Interest” on CBS.

Over at ABC, 8 p.m. special “Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe” was of little interest with a 2.6/ 4 in the overnights. And week four of failing drama “Mind Games” dipped to a series-low 1.5/ 3 at 10 p.m., which could be an historical low for the network in the time period for a regularly scheduled series. Chances are the axe will be swinging today.

Elsewhere, relocated “Glee” on Fox remained out of the competitive loop with a fourth-place 2.4/ 4 at 8 p.m., which was 35 percent below year-ago occupant “Hell’s Kitchen” (3.7/ 6 on 3/19/13). And that led into a repeat of “New Girl” at a 1.3/ 2 at 9 p.m. (#4), followed by relocated “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” at a series low 1.9/ 3 at 9:30 p.m. On The CW, “The Originals” (#5: 1.4/ 2) led into a 1.3/ 2 for “Supernatural” (#5) at 9 p.m., which is nothing unusual.

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. Pretty low for Supernatural. Let's hope the ratings don't reflect the numbers here.

    ReplyDelete
  2. B99 series low. :o


    Hoping for a good number for PoI!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Not to be a douche, but: if those HH numbers reflect the A18-49 numbers, it serves ABC right for putting SHIELD on a break for the 39th or so time this season so they can show an hour-long promo for the Marvel movies. If they weren't such dumbasses, they would've scheduled all shows like they did OUaT this year: one BIG break and then an uninterrupted run. Instead, every week it's like playing bingo to figure out whether or not there's a new episode.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Just curious to see the final demo for Mind Games ...

    ReplyDelete
  5. My guess is that we could see it as low as 0.5 and 2.3 Million.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Happy B99 is renewed already. Sad that we only have a few more eps of TW to enjoy :(

    ReplyDelete
  7. I wonder if that HH rating means Glee actually did better than Bones this week.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hi :) what are your guesses about glee ? i know they're in the losers category but what could a 2.4/ 4 menas in terms of ratings

    ReplyDelete
  9. Very hard to predict with Glee as it skews quite younger. I would guess a 1.0 or 1.1 with 3.0-3.5 million viewers. Although it could go as low as .9 and 2.5 million

    ReplyDelete
  10. A 0.5 could mean immediate cancellation or a saturday banishing-burnoff. I was also wondering if ever an original broadcast scripted show ever reached that low.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm really enjoying Mind Games, I think it could fit USA Network better, though. Sad to see its numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I agree.

    Well a lot of CW shows often get .02,.03 and .04. Hannibal and Dracula have both hit .7's Enlisted and Raising Hope have both hit .5's this season

    ReplyDelete
  13. I am really surprised that ABC hasn't pulled Mind Games yet.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I thought they pull it after it hit 0.6 for ep 2, but ABC really surprised me this time.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Both NBC comedies up from last week.

    ReplyDelete
  16. probably because they lack a proper replacement that they know will fare better.


    Isn't there an 'Agent Carter' spin-off in developement ? That'd be a good teamup for tuesdays if it's developed for ABC

    ReplyDelete
  17. Well OUAT and the other shows that had a special schedule this year are all serialized dramas. AOS is suppose to be a procedural by nature

    ReplyDelete
  18. The didn't hesitate from replacing The Assets and Lucky 7 with repeats.


    I wonder if a period-ish drama like Agent Carter will do well on ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, trophy wife is up compared to last week but still... it will be canceled :(

    ReplyDelete
  20. With the way AoS is going I don't think it would boost Agent Carter's chances for survival

    ReplyDelete
  21. So Long...Mind Games!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Definitely. ABC give it a full order because they produced it, but it honestly didn't deserve it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. So Glad CF is stable

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think they will do that next season with SHIELD. But also with these breaks its so the episodes tie-in with other Marvel projects- I think that is why we have a 2 week break because they want the eps to link up with Captain America. Not that its an excuse and I agree the scheduling sucks and they knew well in advance when Cap was coming out but I wonder if that is why.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ouch to b99 this show is really good dont get why its so low :(

    ReplyDelete

  27. Wow new low to TO...is it because of the departure of Rebekah

    ReplyDelete
  28. Wow Chicago Fire beat POI has that happened before?

    ReplyDelete
  29. rarely a departure has an immediate effect on the ratings

    ReplyDelete
  30. Majority of the weeks. Only a couple of times POI beat CF this season.

    ReplyDelete
  31. They had Pan Am (which I liked) a few years back and we all know how that did...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh okay thanks for the info. I don't watch either show so I dont pay attention to their ratings but today I didn't have anything on and so I noticed. Wow surprised me cause I had the assumption that POI was some kind of big show on CBS

    ReplyDelete
  33. There have been some exceptions ei The OC

    ReplyDelete
  34. EuphemiaWonderlandMarch 19, 2014 at 3:34 PM

    That was different because Marissa died on the season three finale. The effect wasn't immediate.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ouch at TO!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I hate these NCIS ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's hard to say. There were articles saying it was permanent on the Internet, but no big interviews. The viewers who just watch the show may be thinking she'll come back in an episode or two. After all Elijah was stuck in a coffin for several weeks because Daniel Giles had other commitments.

    ReplyDelete
  38. A 123.76 million viewers for The Voice! That's gotta be a television record our something?!

    ReplyDelete
  39. It looks like networks should renew the shows only on May because it's not rare that shows lose live viewers after they got renewed. And that sucks, because fans should be grateful to the networks that wanted to trust the series and their fans, giving early renewals.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Spring is not being good on NCIS. Same for CW shows.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I highly doubt it, Arrow was down too last week. Ratings are usually down in spring.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Erm, ratings are already out and it did 1.1.

    ReplyDelete
  43. There is also another break which seems to have angered a lot of people. They need to be consistent so we don't have to change our schedules week to week.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Apperently CW was preempted in Chicago due to elections.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It's more like 12.76 million, haha.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I really liked the first half of the season. Since I can no longer use the app (no cable provider) I've rarely watched and what I have seen hasn't been as good. I liked it but I won't really miss it.

    ReplyDelete
  47. POI better adjust up. Be damned if folks who don't have the urge to be invested in the long-term game & choose to be drones with monotonous storytelling (that they'd get from the NCIS & CSI clones) gets the show in a hard spot...

    ReplyDelete
  48. The move to 9:30 certainly did not help B99. Wish they'd move it up a hour or so. It trespasses on my SPN time. B99 is actually very good. One of the best supporting casts on any comedy currently on air. Wonder if Fox will try it on a different night next season.

    ReplyDelete
  49. The Goldbergs did good with that poor lead i hope is worth for something....

    ReplyDelete
  50. It is a big show. But it's for thinkers. Not for people who watch the Bachelor and other stuff like that. It's ratings have been down a little this entire season. I'm hoping they move it back to Thursdays at 9. POI and Chicago Fire have always rated pretty closely.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I think that, like a lot of dramas, AoS is a procedural/serial hybrid where the serial elements become more prominent over time. As such, breaks are likely still detrimental to its performance.

    ReplyDelete
  52. That's as good an explanation as any, thanks for the insight. I certainly hope for a more continuous schedule next season. I know there are all sorts of hurdles like holidays, award shows and sporting events they wish to sidestep, so they have to interrupt a show's run for the sake of its ratings sometimes... but when you go too far with that, you lose or at least annoy a lot of viewers.(I'm not a Nielsen - or, indeed, U.S. - viewer, so my annoyance doesn't matter in terms of the show's ratings, but I'm still going to voice it. LOL.)

    ReplyDelete
  53. I completely agree I'm in the UK and I get so annoyed when the shows I watch are off air because of sport or awards. I really hope ABC adapt the OUAT and Revenge approach next season because whilst dedicated fans will watch a show no matter when its on the average viewer easily forgets and lose interest.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Supernatural was low this week compared to the rest of the season.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I cant believe The Voice does better than NCIS......

    ReplyDelete
  56. FOX fails so hard at scheduling, what was wrong w/ B99 previous time slot??

    ReplyDelete
  57. too bad SPN sad really. better luck next week you will need it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Chicago Fire is reruns for the next three weeks. Hopefully POI will recover next two episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Good. There's two straight ones before the three week break in April & then there's four stretch to close. Really wish that more fans of the genre pick it up during the summer so they can add to S4's numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Worried for TO, next episode will show if it's just a one time thing or lots of fans dropped the show due to Rebekah leaving.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Yeah, exactly. The casual viewers, who make up most of the ratings in the end of the day, aren't going to check online to see when the show is coming back from a break. They're just not that invested. If it's not on once or twice, they'll just stop tuning in at that night & time and therefore not be there when the show comes back.
