These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns.

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean household overnight sweep for CBS with its line-up of granddaddy “60 Minutes” (6.4 rating/13 share), “The Amazing Race” (5.1/ 9), “The Good Wife” (#1 for the night: 6.5/10) and “The Mentalist” (5.9/10), which contrary to common belief was renewed for a seventh season.
In original miniseries news, part one of the remake of “Rosemary’s Baby” on NBC was a bust with a 2.6/ 4 in the from 9-11 p.m., which was no better than regularly scheduled (and canceled) dramas “Believe” and “Crisis.” Earlier in the evening was coverage of “The PFA Golf Tour” at an estimated 2.9/ 6 (#3) from 7-8 p.m., followed by “Dateline” at a depressed 2.5/ 4 (#3) from 8-9 p.m.
In season-finale news, two-hours of “Once Upon a Time” on ABC scored a 3.9/ 6 from 8-10 p.m., which was 13 percent below its year-ago telecast. And the season-finale of lead-out “Revenge” (which rocked creatively according to social media) followed with a 3.4/ 6 (#2) at 10 p.m., which was 21 percent below the 4.3/ 7 for the two-hour season-ender one year earlier. At 7 p.m. on ABC, of course, was “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a second-place 3.4/ 7 at 7 p.m.
Fox capped off the evening with below average performances for its combination of animated “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.3/ 3), “American Dad” (#4: 1.4/ 3), “The Simpsons” (#4: 2.3/ 4) and “Family Guy” (#3t, 2.6/ 4) from 7-9 p.m., and “Cosmos” A Spacetime Odyssey” (#4: 2.2/ 4 at 9 p.m.).

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.
