Thursday 5/29/14 Metered Market Ratings
CBS Wins; Positive Start for Revised NBC Summer Line-Up
Household
Rating/Share
CBS 4.1/ 7
NBC 3.0/ 5
Fox 2.9/ 5
ABC 2.2/ 4
CW 0.5/ 1
-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Thursday 5/30/13:
NBC: +76, Fox: – 3, CBS: -16, CW: -17, ABC: -41
———-
-Winners:
“The Big Bang Theory” R (CBS)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Gang Related” (Fox)…54 percent of last night’s line-up was in repeats.
———-
-Ratings Breakdown:
Led by “The Big Bang Theory,” it was a clean overnight household sweep for CBS care of its encore combination of “Big Bang” (6.1 rating/11 share), “Mom” (4.2/ 7), “Two and a Half Men” (4.1/ 7), “The Millers” (3.3/ 5) and “Elementary” (3.3/ 6). But NBC could be poised for victory in adults 18-49 (and other key young demos) with its revised summer line-up.
“Hollywood Game Night” opened the evening on NBC with a third-place 3.0/ 5 from 8-9 p.m., which was 11 percent above the 2.7/ 5 one week earlier. Comparably, this was “Hollywood Game Night’s” best overnight rating since March 27. Next was the two-episode premiere of Bill Lawrence sitcom “Undateable,” which finished second in the two half-hours with a 2.9/ 5 at 9 p.m. and a 2.7/ 4 at 9:30 p.m. Comparably, this was NBC’s best overnight household rating in the 9 p.m. half-hour with regular programming since “Sean Saves the World” on Nov. 7, 2013; and best at 9:30 p.m. since “The Michael J. Fox Show” on Oct. 3. Stay tuned for the demos, which could fall in “Undateable’s” favor.
Capping off the night on NBC was “Last Comic Standing” with a second-place 3.1/ 5 at 10 p.m., which slipped by 16 percent from the 3.7/ 6 for its two-hour opener one week earlier. That 3.7 in the household overnights translated into 5.42 million viewers and a 1.7 rating/6 share among adults 18-49, based on the live plus same day data. The bottom line: Consider these results (albeit non-spectacular) a step in the right direction for NBC. Note to Bill Lawrence: good start!
In week two news, Fox drama “Gang Related” fell by two-tenths of a rating point (or eight percent) from its week-ago opener with a third-place 2.3/ 4 from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, the overnight retention for “Gang Related” out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “Hell’s Kitchen” (3.6/ 6) was modest at 64 percent. And the 2.5/ 4 in the overnights last week translated into just 2.93 million viewers and a 0.9/ 3 among adults 18-49, based on the live plus same day data.
Overall, the full hour of demo friendly “Hell’s Kitchen” scored a second-place 3.5/ 6 from 8-9 p.m.
Elsewhere, recent drama entry “Black Box” on ABC finished third with a 2.6/ 4 in the overnights at 10 p.m. But worth positively noting was growth out of an encore of “The Bachelorette” (1.9/ 3 from 8-10 p.m.) of 37 percent. The CW capped off the night with encore telecasts of “The Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals,” which each scored a 0.5/ 1.

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.
