Today's Early Overnight Ratings

This table shows the early overnight ratings. 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. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)

If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent Ratings FAQ.

Sunday 5/04/14 Metered Markets
Clean Sweep for CBS; Respectable “Resurrection” Season-Ender on ABC

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 6.5/11
ABC 4.2/ 7
NBC 2.8/ 5
Fox 2.4/ 4

-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening – Sunday 4/28/13:
ABC: + 8, CBS: + 2, NBC: no change, Fox: -33

—–

-Winners:
“60 Minutes” (CBS), “The Good Wife” (CBS)

-Honorable Mention:
“Resurrection” (ABC)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“American Dream Builders” (NBC), “Bob’s Burgers” (Fox), “American Dad!” (Fox), “Believe” (NBC), “Crisis” (NBC)

—–

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean household overnight sweep for CBS with its line-up of granddaddy “60 Minutes” (#1 for the night: 8.0 rating/14 share), “The Amazing Race” (5.6/ 9 – go “Brenchel!”), “The Good Wife” (6.6/10) and “The Mentalist” (5.7/10), which is in search of a new home for next season. Comparably, CBS bested No. 2 ABC overall by a hefty 55 percent. But the race among adults 18-49 (and other key demos) is likely to fall in ABC’s favor.

In season finale news, ABC freshman midseason drama “Resurrection” closed with a 5.1/ 8 in the overnights at 9 p.m., which is strong enough to warrant a second season renewal. Comparably, “Resurrection” built from lead-in “Once Upon a Time” (#2: 4.4/ 7 at 8 p.m.) by 16 percent. As for that cliffhanger episode, it should be interesting to say the least in season two for this ambitious and worthy drama.

Next on ABC was three year-old “Revenge” at a diluted (and second place) 3.6/ 6 at 10 p.m. Earlier in the evening on the alphabet net was veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a second-place 3.8/ 7 at 7 p.m.

Elsewhere, NBC finished in the distant No. 3 spot with its combination of “American Dream Builders” (#3: 1.7/ 3), “Dateline” (#3: 4.1/ 7), “Believe” (#3: 2.9/ 4) and “Crisis” (#3: 2.4/ 4), which does not bode well for renewal for the two recent drama entries (no to mention “American Dream Builders”). And Fox increased by 14 percent week-to-week with its combination of animated “Bob’s Burgers:” (#4: 1.6/ 3), “American Dad!” (#3t, 1.7/ 3), “The Simpsons” (#3: 2.8/ 5) and “Family Guy” (#4: 3.0/ 5) from 7-9 p.m. and recent entry “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” (#4: 2.6/ 4 at 9 p.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. I hope Revenge increased on the demos, I mean the episode was so amazingly good it deserves it

  2. in HH it seems that ONCE and Resurrrection are up and Revenge is steady... lets wait to see how it reflects on the demo

  3. Resurrection is "ambitious"?
    I thought it was very boring and dull.

    If you want ambitious, watch the massively similar and greatly superior Les Revanants.

    Resurrection has lost half of its 18-48 demo rating since premiering just a few months ago.

    It hit new series lows 7 weeks in a row, and only got a rise for the finale. Doesnt bode well for its future at all.
    2 short seasons and done.

  5. Revenge was so amazing yesterday

  6. Last week the preliminary for OUAT was 4.3 and the demo resulted in a 2.1 (then adjusted up in the finals to a 2.2). So, guessing, also this weeks the numbers will be similar (if not a little better).

  11. A 1.2 demo with 9 mil viewers is really reminding me of Harry's Law.

  12. Don't worry, it's completely my fault, I shouldn't have watched the comment section, but I'm sure it will be my favorite episode since Conrad dies :D
    Looking forward to seeing how he dies!

  13. I'm pretty sure after this episode ratings will.definitely go back up.

  14. 1.3 for Revenge. Steady! When most of the shows are falling and it stays steady. That's OK. Lol. ;)

  15. Oh! I thought he was gonna die! I just finished it and when I saw Emily in the prison, I was like "Oh wait, she's the one who going to kill him?" and then nothing and I understood what you meant lol.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I was debating myself if I should have told you he didn't die or not, but in the end I thought it was for the best that you'd see it yourself xD. Anyway, great take down, wasn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm glad you didn't me, thanks for that, really!
    Yep, Charlotte framing Conrad without knowing it... I was so happy when Emily finally smiled and understood that her father's name was cleared!
