Metered Market Tuesday Ratings
CBS Rules; “The Voice” on NBC a Lock Demographically

Tuesday 4/08/14

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 8.5/14
NBC 5.3/ 9
ABC 2.6/ 4
Fox 1.9/ 3
CW 0.6/ 1

———-

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Tuesday 4/09/13
NBC: +10, CBS: + 4, CW: -25, Fox: -39, ABC: -59

———-

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

-Honorable Mention:
“Chicago Fire” (NBC)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Glee” (Fox), “The Mindy Project” (Fox), “Trophy Wife” (ABC)

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another clean Tuesday overnight sweep in households for CBS with its line-up of “NCIS” (#1 for the evening: 11.0 rating/18 share), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9.4/15) and an encore of “Person of Interest” (5.3/ 9), which bested an original installment of competing “Chicago Fire” on NBC (4.5/ 8) by 18 percent despite not being original. Already renewed “Chicago Fire,” which built by 25 percent from sitcom “Growing Up Fisher” (#2: 3.6/ 6 at 9:30 p.m.), is a lock for leadership in all the key demos, however.

“The Voice” was the standout on NBC, of course, with a second-place 7.5/12 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m., which will top the night in adults 18-49 (and other young adult demos). Thanks to “The Voice,” lead-out comedies “About a Boy” (#2: 4.5/ 7 at 9 p.m.) and aforementioned “Growing Up Fisher” (#2: 3.6/ 6 at 9:30 p.m.) bested two more episodes of “The Mindy Project” on Fox (9 p.m.: #4: 1.7/ 3; 9:30 p.m.: #4, 1.8/ 3) by an average of 131 percent. Note to Fox: You may want to reverse your decision to renew sophomore “The Mindy Project,” which is just not an option (and never will be).

“About a Boy” and “Growing Up Fisher” also outdelivered competing ABC comedies “”The Goldbergs” (#3: 3.0/ 5), which is a lock for renewal, and “Trophy Wife” (#3: 2.2/ 3) by an average of 56 percent. As that old saying goes, lead-in still does matter.

Earlier in the evening on Fox was fading “Glee” at yet another series low, with a 2.0/ 3 from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was 43 percent below year-ago occupant “Hell’s Kitchen” (3.5/ 6 on 4/09/13). Future episodes of “Glee” this season will feature Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine in a multi-episode arc.

ABC’s disappointing “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” increased by nine percent from one week earlier, with a 3.8/ 6 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m. And a repeat of “Resurrection” closed the night for the alphabet net after aforementioned “The Goldbergs” (#3: 3.0/ 5) and “Trophy Wife” (#3: 2.2/ 3) with a 1.5/ 2 at 10 p.m. As a reminder, “Celebrity Wife Swap” will return on ABC in the Tuesday 10 p.m. hour next week.

The CW capped off the evening with encores of “The Originals” (#5: 0.7/ 1) and recently introduced “The Hundred” (#5: 0.6/ 1).
With Carson Daly” closed the night with a 0.8/ 4 at 1:30 a.m.

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. Oo yay AoS increased and it tends to adjust up in the finals as well, wonder what it got.

    ReplyDelete
  2. I'd guess a 2.2 or maybe even a 2.3

    ReplyDelete
  3. so would I it sat at 3.5/6 last week and that gave it a 2.0

    ReplyDelete
  4. just the fact it went up after last week is a victory and really is indicative of the quality of its episodes recently

    ReplyDelete
  5. AoS increased by 9%? Considering all the hype after Captain America 2, I'm not exactly surprised.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I would've honestly been more shocked if it didn't go up at all,

    ReplyDelete
  7. To be fair, I wouldn't that much. Hulu did accidently release it early and I'm sure that some people caught it before they took it down.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Looks like another 'ouch' for Fox.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I don't understand why Mindy hasn't picked up an audience by now. It really is my favorite comedy but then again, I am not a fan of the big shows like HIMYM or Big Bang but millions of people love them.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Wow Marc, somebody is bitter about the Mindy renewal. Somehow I think Fox knows what they're doing better than you (or Tom at TVBTN) do.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh, yeah that 44 episode renewal was genius, shipping off your forth highest rated comedy to TBS while keeping losers like Mindy and B99. How about that renewal of TF? AI missing Top 20 both nights last week in demo and audience. Yeah, FOX knows exactly what their doing.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yes, but but only a small percentage of those would be Neilsen viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Only 9% increase for AoS. That's disappointing.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Christopher DeBonoApril 9, 2014 at 2:52 PM

    I have to admit I'm let down by that.

    I was expecting more considering the response the Captain America movie's getting.
    Hopefully the positive reviews about this episode convince people to catch up and watch next week.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I actually find that disappointing.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Im not...for a couple of reasons primarily the fact that a lot of normal followers of the show did not watch it last night because they have not seen captain america two, and that could be one of the reasons abc is rerunning it next week, into the brand new episode so people can see the movie

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yeah, it's a disappointing increase, but it's an increase nonetheless. I was a little shocked it was only 9% to be honest.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yes, because Fox can't make a programming mistake. Yeesh.


    "Midnight" -- do you go through your days blindly trusting empty suits to make the best possible decisions? Or are you the typical Mindy Kaling fan -- angry, bitter, lonely and defensive.

    ReplyDelete
  19. He better like unemployment.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I believe that businesspeople whose multi-million dollar enterprises depend on sound decisions are better able to ascertain the financial pros and cons of renewal decisions than so-called ratings pundits who have limited data anyways.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Okay, I guess I should short 21st Century Fox's stock. Renewing The Mindy Project for a third season means their stock is going to go WAY down. They may even default on their corporate debt. If only they hadn't made the huge mistake of renewing The Mindy Project!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Looks like I was right about "angry, bitter, and defensive." (I'll reserve judgment on "lonely.")


    Look, the show is horrible. And horribly low-rated. Mindy Kaling has been licking Reilly's feet in the press at every opportunity to keep her show on the air, and the man buckled. (It doesn't help that he has nothing else worthwhile to program on Tuesdays.)


    Remember: this is the same Kevin Reilly who triumphantly predicted three years ago that Fox would soon have TWO nights of four-show live-action comedy blocks. Now, it doesn't even have half of one. Or a quarter of one.


    But keep telling yourself Fox executives know exactly what they're doing. Lull yourself to sleep with that. Soak in the fail of it. Seriously.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Look at 21st Century Fox's 2013 financial statements: broadcast television revenue increased by more than $50 million compared to 2012. Given the factors within their control, I would say they're doing a decent job. Or would you rather they be more aggressive about cancelling lower-rated shows and lose money instead? And what happened to the widespread "I won't try Fox shows because they always cancel them" complaint?



    I'll cede you the defensive part, not so much the rest. And yet it appears that you created your disqus account specifically to respond to my comment. You didn't even have previous comments until then. It seems someone else is just a shade more angry here.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Tonight's the night for The 100 (without a new episode of Arrow as lead-in). I really hope it will do well enough :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. OUH for Glee!, another series low?
    I can't imagine the Ratings for S6...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yeah, you've gone off the rails.


    Try to read this very slowly, so it sinks in. "The Mindy Project" is a subpar show. With sinking ratings. Which has lowered its ad rate for next year. That's why it should never have been renewed, and why those who renewed it were in error.


    Trying to mask the failure of The Mindy Project by pointing to financial statements, which include things like sports revenue, American Idol, etc., is chicanery.


    You need to ask yourself why you worship at the altar of programming executives, and why you took Marc Berman's analysis so personally. Did you feel his words about "The Mindy Project" were direct attacks on you? Do you actually think posters on this board make decisions because of you?


    That's a matter for a psychoanalyst, not a message board.

    ReplyDelete
  27. SPOILER: AOS
    Im not the biggest AoS fan. I get frustrated and wish it were more. But, last nights ep was great! If this is the direction the show is heading (edgy tone, more Coulson/action) then im in! Wish May were was the traitor though, I never liked her. Guess they listened to all the Ward haters...

    ReplyDelete
  28. No need to be an asshat.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Anyone who saw last weeks ep should definitely tune in tonight. Hope some word of the mouth will steady the shows numbers. Yeah tonight will be a test for the Hundy...

    ReplyDelete
  30. I never made statements about the quality of The Mindy Project, which I personally find to be good but not great.

    I'm glad you have a crystal ball and can tell me the ad rates for next year. Do you also have next week's lottery numbers? Ad rates are in part determined by other sub-demos like 18-34 and wealthier households, which is part of what I meant when I said that ratings pundits don't have all the data.

    I find it difficult to make a certain claim about the show being renewed in error when you know little about its costs. If networks could replace every below average show with pilots at no cost, they would. But advertising new shows is expensive, and as far as I know, Mindy Project hasn't aged to the point where the stars' salaries become burdensome.

    Sports revenue is a different segment in financial statements. I specifically highlighted broadcast television.

    My original comment was: "Wow Marc, somebody is bitter about the Mindy renewal. Somehow I think Fox knows what they're doing better than you (or Tom at TVBTN) do." This was not a personal defense against their comments. My point is that Marc and TVBTN write and report to predict cancellation and renewal decisions. They have missed more than a few shows recently, indicating that the framework under which they are operating is not entirely accurate. The fact is that unless you have the detailed financial data for ratings, sub-demos, costs, and alternatives like pilots, you can't know that renewing the Mindy Project is a mistake. Maybe it is. And yet your and Marc's attitudes claim to know everything with certainty. The only real certainty is that Fox has better data than you do.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Considering the quality of that specific episode, too, it's great that it went up specifically there! :) It may go higher further from this point, especcially since there'll be no more hiatus from what I've heard! :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fast Nationals are trickling in. Looks like lots of lows for all of the comedies. MAOS didn't bump up either. It's probably flat with last week or it might be down.

    ReplyDelete
  33. AoS actually dropped. Didn't see that coming. Half hours: 1.8/1.7

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wow a 1.7 for Agents of SHIELD?! I don't by that rating for a second

  38. 1.7 for SHIELD. If that doesn't adjust up, then it's a series low.

  40. after a 9% increase from a 2.0 last week, how can it be at a 1.7?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Finally a rise for NCIS! And they deserved it, it was a good episode!

    ReplyDelete
  42. like I guess ratings really dont make sense to me whatsoever, how can a show increase 9% in the overnights but yet go down in both viewers and 18-49?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Noooooo SHIELD at a series low :(

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have no idea. I don't get the overnights stuff really, I just pay attention to the 18-49 demo, which is what counts.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Don't know either, but the opposite happened to NCIS. It was down a tenth from last week's overnights yet rose in both audience and demo.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The total audience may have increased but the number of people 18-49 who watched may have decreased.

    ReplyDelete
  47. they both decreased...

    ReplyDelete
  48. HH increased, but A18-49 didn't. The two are not really related.

    ReplyDelete
  49. sucks that SHIELD is gonna get cancelled due to really bad ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Mostly all the good shows on Tuesday hit a series or season low last night...

    ReplyDelete
  51. HH and A18-49 ratings are not really related.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Months ago I read a list about the shows with the the wealthier audience and The Mindy Project was included (with the other low rated Parks & Recreations). I guess that If Fox and Nbc decided to renew them, it must be because they still make them earn money.

    ReplyDelete
  53. How do you know? there ratings show that it will.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Look 8:00 p.m.

    ABC – Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Viewers: 5.03 million (#3), A18-49: 1.8/ 6 (#3)

    It's actually 1.8 but still it's a low i was hoping to go up

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'm hoping it adjusts to above a 1.8 at least

    ReplyDelete
  56. WTF? After CA:TWS and all the insane buzz for SHIELD, we get this? :-(

    It better adjust up 2 tenths again, but even if it does, very disappointing.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Disney owns ABC and Marvel, so the won't cancel AoS. Also, this is ABC's second highest rated freshman show.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Despite ratings that are below average? Thats weird.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Read my reply to your comment below.

    ReplyDelete
  60. which I did thanks for that! Im hoping it adjusts up somehow! these ratings are a bit shocking to see

    ReplyDelete
  61. No, but HH and total audience are, right?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yep, I was surprised when I saw the numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  63. 4 million views! i call that below average, and with a 1.7 rating.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yeah because a poorly rated show like Mindy being renewed doesen't stick out as a sore thumb to anyone else.

    ReplyDelete
  65. wow AOS under 5 million and with all the hype it its a low- what a disappointment

    ReplyDelete
  66. ABC's average this season is 1.56, so it's above the average.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Do you knw Abc's average rating? Doesn't seem so...

    ReplyDelete
  68. I didn't even notice that The Voice was so low. Also, a 0.5 for a Resurrection repeat is not too good either.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Almost 5 million and one episode doesn't decide the fate of a show

    ReplyDelete
  70. So your saying it'll be renewed? its seems like long odds

    ReplyDelete
  71. serialized shows do not repeat well, no matter what

    ReplyDelete
  72. Nice return for Chicago Fire. Decreased competition helped but that's no guarantee people will tune in.

  73. The only serialized show that does repeat well is Greys Anatomy.

  74. GA is not serialized.

  75. Check out Cancellation Predictor table for a mathematical model of what is likely to be renewed/cancelled or in danger

  76. I thought it was.

  77. Oh god Trophy Wife... when you thought it couldn't be any lower...

  78. Shame people gave up on Shield. Honestly I dnt blame them. The show was limping and now it's getting into groove but it's so late in the game....

    ReplyDelete
  79. Well, not really I think. The medical cases seem to change every week with some exceptions. The only thing that's serialized is character and relationship stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Thats what happened to me. I gave up on it. I thought it was gonna be really good but IMO it was boring.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I dont get why SHIELD is not in danger of being cancelled, all the tv sites say it's in no danger. When you got NCIS and VOICE taking up nearly 30 million views and your only getting 4-5 million views, you really got a problem. What can they do with a second season if you barely an audience to show for it? it doesnt make sense.

  82. SHIELD has a tendency to adjust up with the final ratings, so I'm hoping it will adjust up to its series low or above it, Im actually still in shock about this but I will say this could be a danger of having a show so intertwined with a movie that's been in theaters for a single weekend, many regular SHIELD watchers did not tune in because they havent seen the movie yet

  83. People quit the show because it was boring, once they leave it is hard to get them back

    ReplyDelete
  84. Because the total viewers are irrelevant. Only the 18-49 demo matters and AoS is above ABC's 18-49 demo average of 1.56. Since it is outperforming all the other freshman dramas, that puts it squarely in renewal territory.

    ReplyDelete
  85. The only thing is, its going to get cooked by the Voice and NCIS in the 8:00 PM timeslot, unless they fix it, there going offline in 2015

    ReplyDelete
  86. That may be true, but either way, speaking it terms of this season, it performed well enough in the demo and will get its renewal. I'm sure ABC will look into where to place it in the fall to give it a better chance and hopefully gain some viewers. I can see a retooling of the show and a schedule change in AoS future for the fall.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Thats true... So i'm sure everyone can agree that despite hitting series lows, it will still get a second season.

    ReplyDelete
  88. yep, its boosted the previous timeslot occupant by 42% (which is sad) and is still number 1 with men 18-49

    ReplyDelete
  89. This may be wishful thinking here but twitter is saying a number of ABC affiliates had service issues last night, so maybe it will adjust up?!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Not on FOX. It's doing better than Glee and not substantively worse than New Girl or B99.

    Berman happens to have terrible taste in television. He's big into Survivor and the schlocky CBS comedies and seems to have a bias against the actual good comedies on TV (Community, Parks, the FOX threesome, etc).

    So you'll see him argue vehemently in favor of "Mom" but take shots at the FOX or NBC sohws.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Does that even make a difference? so what if its good with men? its not going to help it decide its fate of being cancelled or renewed.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Obviously overall 18-49 is better, but that is still a very hard to reach demo, and ABC will not want to cancel it so they will tout that as its reason

    ReplyDelete
  93. When do you think we will find out its fate? Late April or Early May?

    ReplyDelete
  94. 18-49 men is a subset demo of 18-49 and is a very coveted demographic. heavily factors into renewal decisions.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Household is the number of houses where the show was watched, literally, while total viewers is the number of people that watched. Exactly how they can tell this type of stuff (also, male or female viewers, etc.) has always been unclear to me. I can't imagine their measurement is very accurate.

    ReplyDelete
  96. When the Upfronts come out in May.I believe its somewhere in between May 12 thru the 16th this year.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Its not considered a serialized show,not like Fringe,Lost,or Person Of Interest. Its more like a night time soap just like Revenge and Scandal.

    ReplyDelete
  98. You can the dates of all the Upfront presentations here

  99. May 13th, oh boy... SHIELD has that long to get there ratings up or there on the chopping block.

  100. They can tell based on a statistical sampling of the nielsen households, the same way a gallup poll for politics is run. For example, in a nielsen household with a set box (connected to the t.v.) each member of the nielsen family has their own code that they input into the box when they watch a show, thus identifying who is watching the show when, how old they are, and their gender. Once the data is gathered in this way, it is split into its respective demographics (18-34/49 male, 18-34/49 female, overall 18-49, total viewers and HH) and then they extrapolate how many of each their are nationwide using a statistical sampling analysis. You would actually be very surprised how accurate it is and how small the margin of error is.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Yeah,but i think ABC will come to a decision long before then.

    ReplyDelete
  102. AoS was the big bet show this season with this ratings? i think they will cancel in 1S

    ReplyDelete
  103. Not a chance. Marvel and Disney own ABC, they'll keep it going.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Still hasn't been adjusted up yet.

    ReplyDelete
  105. I expect AOS to go up! but when?

    ReplyDelete
  106. I think a lot of people are going to wait for the entire season to be over and then binge. Which, in the long run, would be a good thing. The series is a slow, careful build up. Those who were impatient for the climax will be able to appreciate the layers without having to wait. I know if I wasn't watching a show, I wouldn't jump in this far into a season for any reason - especially not one that is serialized... I want to see the second season premiere ratings - I'm betting that's where we'll see a jump...

    ReplyDelete
  107. Great for AoS - a totally under appreciated show to now. And I feel bad for Glee. Moving it to New York and slashing the cast is the best thing they've ever done for the show. It feels revitalized to me... too little too late perhaps.
