-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Tuesday 4/16/13:
CW: +50, CBS: +48, NBC: +17, Fox: -24, ABC: -58

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Glee” (Fox), “New Girl” (Fox), “The Mindy Project” (Fox), “Celebrity Wife Swap” (ABC)
———-
Ratings Breakdown:
It was another clean Tuesday overnight household sweep for CBS with its combination of “NCIS” (11.0 rating/18 share – #1 for the night), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9.0/14) and “Person of Interest” (6.9/12). And NBC, which could still win the evening among adults 18-49 (and other key young adult demos), got a boost by the solid 7.5/12 in the overnights for “The Voice” from 8-9 p.m. Lifted by “The Voice,” lead-out NBC sitcoms “About a Boy” (4.6/ 7) and “Growing Up Fisher” (3.7/ 6) remained second in the 9-10 p.m. hour, followed by reliable (and already renewed) “Chicago Fire” at a second-place 4.6/ 8 at 10 p.m.
Over at ABC, a 9 p.m. airing of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” finished third in the hour with a 3.6/ 6, which was on par with what it normally does at 8 p.m. In other words, consider this disappointing. In season-premiere news was lead-out “Celebrity Wife Swap,” featuring Daniel Baldwin and Jermaine Jackson, at a very distant third-place 2.3/ 4 at 10 p.m. Comparably, “Celebrity Wife Swap” dropped by 63 percent from year-ago time period occupant “Body of Proof” (6.2/11 on 4/16/13). And the retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (3.5/ 6) was modest at 66 percent. Earlier in the evening on the alphabet net was an encore of “S.H.I.E.L.D.” at a third-place 2.2/ 3 at 8 p.m.
Elsewhere, Fox could not compete with its failing line-up of “Glee” (#4: 2.0/ 4), “New Girl” (#4: 1.9/ 3) and “The Mindy Project” (#4: 1.8/ 3). And The CW scored a 1.2/ 2 for both “The Originals” and “Supernatural,” which is nothing original.

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’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
I really hope About a Boy is up from last week :(
ReplyDeleteSHIELD came third in the 9pm hour? So NCIS LA and something else beat it.
ReplyDeleteNBC comedies I guess
ReplyDeleteYeah, most probably. Basically pointless trying to show it at 9pm instead of 8pm to boost ratings.
ReplyDeleteif NBC comedies beat it, then I'm guessing it got 1.7-1.8
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty low for The CW.
ReplyDeleteI thought so too. I remember The Tomorrow People getting HH ratings like that and ending up in 0.5/0.6 territory. The Tuesday shows might not even get above the two million viewers.
ReplyDeleteOuch for AoS.
ReplyDeleteNBC comedies beat it.
ReplyDeleteNew Girl is doing terrible.
ReplyDeleteEither AoS was WAY down or the comedies were WAY up then.
ReplyDeletewhy is everybody freaking out about the HH ratings. Last week it did a 3.8 in HH and the end result was a 1.9 in the finals, the episode before it actually was 3.5 and it got a 2.0 in the finals.
ReplyDeleteSounds bad for ABC and Shield.
ReplyDeleteThat's still pretty disappointing for AoS.
ReplyDeleteI guess but i didnt excpect to magically rise in the ratings. Even though NCIS LA has a 9.0 in HH it probably wont be higher then the 2.3-2.4 rating it usually gets. I was more surprised both CW shows only did a 1.2 in HH
ReplyDeleteWhats the rating for SHIELD? I'm not really sure, and if last night episode doesn't adjust up, does that play a factor in its plans for the future?
ReplyDeleteDisappointing for AoS.
ReplyDeleteIt does not matter what they do, cross-promotion with Marvel's movies, among other things, people rejected the fist episodes and won't come back.
In the Albany area -- and likely much of New York if not several states near NYC, there was a baseball game broadcast. The Originals and SPN were slated to come on at 10 p.m. My DVR switched its recording and I have yet to check if it got all of it or not. That will certainly lower the ratings.
ReplyDeleteI've read about it. The pre-emptions can be so annoying u_u
ReplyDeleteYep. And I read some fans complaining (including Clarissa from a website) that her CW filial had signal problems and stopped showing Supernatural. So I was already expecting a lower rating.
ReplyDeleteIt does... But at last I think The CW is aware that it wasn't the show's fault, but their own. :P
ReplyDeleteI don't watch AoS but it sounds like they moved it to 9PM, was that just for last night or going forward? I'm guessing Marc's saying it's disappointing b/c they moved the show out of the NCIS cross-hairs and it didn't show an improvement in ratings?
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure that ABC will renew AoS anymore. I think AoS is more in danger than GA, Scandal, Resurrection and OUAT, but less than Nashville and Revenge. It's complicated.
ReplyDeleteI hope there's no pre-emptions tonight.
ReplyDeleteGA and Scandal are not even in danger ^^
ReplyDeleteOUAT now always does more than 2.0 so no danger for it
But Nashville and Revenge are really in danger but Revenge is close to syndication
Why they decided to air AoS at 9 instead of 8? I bet many people tought there was no original episode after they tuned at 8 and saw a repeat airing.
ReplyDeleteIt will be renewed because it is above Abc's scripted average which is either 1.6 or 1.7. I'm not sure exactly what but AOS is definitely above it.
ReplyDeleteI know that GA, Scandal and OUAT aren't in danger. I try to say that Aos doesn't play in the same league like them, but has better chances than Nashville and Revenge. Aos stands somewhere between not in danger and in danger.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 did well enough, despite the pre-empting (last week), but I'd like to see the rise of The 100 and Arrow :) so, let's hope in no pre-emptions.
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily in A18-49, Shield was probably second there.
ReplyDeleteWe will see very shortly.
ReplyDeleteGA, Scandal and OUAT and danger should never be used in same sentence. If GA can keep EP & PD and contain costs, it will be around for at least three seasons. Scandal & OUAT, easily three+. Even if ABC has a breakout hit or two, shows like Nashville/Revenge will be gone, the Tuesday time slot is a disaster. Resurrection is not an answer. Those three, plus Castle are the drama building blocks for ABC.
ReplyDeleteI like very much AAB, hope the demo increased a bit.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest has been a good score. The episode was a thriller and a beautiful intensity;)!
ReplyDeleteStrongly the next and the end of the season promises to be thrilling :)
Must POI remains to this box and not be moved to Sunday night.
It is. As is AOS.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's more in danger than because Resurrection seems to have stabilized and if it keeps this way ( higher than 2.0 ) then ABC will have to make a choice between Nashville, Shield and Revenge knowing that Revenge is close to syndication....
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't that bad. I wasn't that interested either but I stuck with it because it was Marvel.
ReplyDeleteOuch for The Originals.
ReplyDeleteAbout a Boy will certainly get renewed for a 22 episode second season.
I wonder if NBC will renew Growing Up Fisher.
damn, that hurts. If they would just stop pre-empting the damn shows, SPN would go back to around the 1.0 range.

Yay, SHIELD is up a tenth from last week. Let's hope it doesn't adjust down.
ReplyDeleteIt got a 1.7 in the finals last week, and always adjusts down, so it will more then likely adjust down to a 1.8 this week which is still up WoW :)
ReplyDeleteI know what I said earlier about Supernatural, but eeeeeeek! I didn't expect a 0.8 and 1.60!
ReplyDeleteAnother ouch for Fox.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Where does that severe NCIS drop come from?
ReplyDeleteYeah... I said I was expecting a drop, but I confess that I didn't expect these numbers.
ReplyDeleteAll CW shows that started airing in the fall seem to be down a lot this spring (Arrow for example). Supernatural got pre-empted too.
ReplyDeleteThey won't have to chose between Nashville,Sheild,Revenge.All three will be renewed due to the failure of this season for abc.
ReplyDeleteYep, I know. Channels went off air last night, too. Still... It's first time this season it hit this low, I think?
ReplyDeleteIt's still doing crazy well. I don't think 16 mill viewers and 2.2 is anything to worry about.
ReplyDeleteRevenge has better chance than Nashville or Sheildcause it's close to syndication.Sheild is still doing deccent numbers for abc despite the massive drop over the season.
ReplyDeleteBut it sure does skew crazy old!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think so. But with Arrow having dropped down that low or lower too, Supernatural is still in the top 3 CW shows at least.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can see that. But I find a lot of CBS shows do.
ReplyDeleteI think it was just for last night because of the Captain America movie? That's what I've heard, that they wanted to air the last episode again in case people didn't view it last week because they wanted to wait after seeing the movie.
ReplyDeleteseries low for Ncis? the audience is still great but skewing very old as DWTS
ReplyDeleteYes, Shield is second and might even pull ahead of NCIS:LA once the finals are in as Shield has adjusted up two tenths in each of the last three episodes.
ReplyDeleteYeah, CBS generally skews old. I know I shouldn't worry, because NCIS season lows are still higher than several CBS' shows season highs. But still, it used to hit 3.0s in fall. Well, I guess it's DST and The Voice as competition that factors in.
ReplyDeleteTVBTN says it tied its series low. Though I can't find any 2.1 in the STV database (http://stvplus.com/show/116/NCIS#episodes). I guess it must have hit a 2.1 once in its first season of which the data is incomplete.
ReplyDeleteok, thanks. I think it is shocking, ncis was doing 2.9 and 3.0 not so long ago.
ReplyDeleteYay, AoS is up. Only by one tenth, barring an adjustment up, but it's something.
ReplyDeleteIt is odd, it scored a 3.1 in Febraury and its last original had a 2.6. It is a mighty unexpected fall.
ReplyDeleteNCSI is falling a little bit this season , last season it used to be above 3s every week, and it premiered to a 4.1 too. This season it premiered to a 3.6 and now it has fallen to a 2.1? That's a way quicker fall than I expected to see
AoS didn't do half bad at 9PM, maybe it could anchor the night there next season?
ReplyDeleteAs for NCSI... wow, I mean seriously, its last original did a 2.6! and it was above 3s in February!
Also, not looking so good for The Originals. If it stays there, then that's ok, but still it's a far cry from the above 1s numbers it got in the fall. But well, maybe it will rate better at the beginning of its 2nd season, just as Arrow did this fall.
Shocked to see New Girl still falling... I'm about to drop the show so I understand why some people might have got out, but still shocking to see
I knew AoS at 9 pm would have an effect on ratings and the preemptions are a double whammy. Cross fingers that the 0.8 at least holds. (I will watch the new AoS later today so I'm not dissing AoS ;) ).
ReplyDeletejust checked, it is a series low tying, it goes all the way back to 2004, you can check it out here
ReplyDeletehttp://www.spottedratings.com/2011/12/spotvault-ncis-cbs-2003-04.html
I don't recall noting as many preemptions last year - I usually add a note to my ratings posts on my 'home forum'.
ReplyDeleteI expect ncis and aos to go up in final adjustments
ReplyDeleteWow, WTF happened to the NCIS twins?
ReplyDeleteGood for AoS.
Not good for CW.
FOX has been bad for the while.
The indirect PR for CA2 in the previous episode (and the fact that ALL articles everywhere stressed that if you really want to be spoiler free, you MUST watch CA2 before) equals a sizeable fortune in the marketing budget of the movie, which in the end is the same pocket as the show. So no, AoS is farther from any danger than any other ABC show maybe except Modern Family, because it has a huge synergy with the Marvel movies.
ReplyDeleteDemo is better than I expected.
ReplyDeleteThat was bad for Supernatural! What a shame!! It was a great episode.
ReplyDeleteYep. That's what I thought. I didn't realize a new episode aired last night so I hope they this week's episode again!
ReplyDeleteWOW down again SPN what up with that? problems with the CW funny! or maybe the problem is something else. We never will know but if it did not air in some places there is allway on line to see it.
ReplyDeleteSPN was up in the last episode I believe.
ReplyDelete
