Household
Rating/Share
ABC 4.3/ 7
Fox 4.3/ 7
CBS 3.8/ 6
NBC 3.0/ 5
CW 1.1/ 2
-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 6/03/13:
Fox: +231, CW: +120, CBS: +15, ABC: no change, NBC: -52
———-
-Winners:
“The Bachelorette” (ABC), “24: Live Another Day” (Fox)
-Honorable Mention:
“Masterchef” (Fox), “Whose Line is it Anyway?” (CW), “American Ninja Warrior” (NBC)
-Losers:
“Beauty and the Beast” (CW), “Mistresses” (ABC)
———-
-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC and Fox tied for Monday overnight household leadership, each with a 0.5 rating point advantage over runner-up CBS. Tops for the night was perennial summer ABC favorite “The Bachelorette,” which averaged a 4.9 rating/8 share in households from 8-10 p.m. and only fluctuated by two-tenths of a rating point in the four half-hours. Comparably, this was seven percent above the 4.6/ 7 on the year-ago evening.
The season-premiere of sophomore ABC scripted drama “Mistresses” followed with a third-place 3.1/ 5 at 10 p.m., which was 18 percent below the year-ago series opener (3.8/ 6 on 6/03/13). And that 3.8 overnight rating translated into 4.40 million viewers and a 1.2 rating/3 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data. Comparably, the overnight retention for “Mistresses” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Bachelorette” (5.0/ 8) was weak at 62 percent.
Fox, meanwhile, was on the map care of “Masterchef” (#2: 3.9/ 7), which like all Gordon Ramsay series is a young adult option, and “24: Live Another Day” (#2: 4.8/ 8), which increased by 12 percent from one week earlier. While not the success it once was, “24” nonetheless is a valid original summer option.
Over at NBC, the new season of “American Ninja Warrior” grew by 23 percent from the week-ago season-opener, with a 3.2/ 5 in the overnights from 9-11 p.m. And this will, no doubt, be enough to win the 10 p.m. hour in adults 18-49 (and other key young adult demos) opposite “48 Hours” on CBS (#1: 4.3/ 7) and ABC’s aforementioned “Mistresses.” Worth positively noting for “48 Hours” was growth out of a 9:30 p.m. encore of “Mike & Molly” (#3: 3.7/ 6) of 16 percent.
Earlier in the evening on CBS was repeats of “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 3.3/ 6), “Mom” (#3: 3.2/ 5) and another installment of “Mike & Molly” (#3: 3.8/ 6) from 8-9:30 p.m. Mirroring this season, benchwarmer “Mike & Molly” is not on the fall schedule and will return later in the season.
In return series news, “Beauty and the Beast” on The CW did not earn its renewal stripes with a 0.9/ 1 from 9-10 p.m., which was 31 percent below an encore of lead-in “Whose Line is it Anyway?” at 8:30 p.m. (1.3/ 2). An original edition of “Whose Line” scored a 1.4/ 2 in the 8 p.m. half-hour, which (combined with the encore) was 125 percent above year-ago occupant “Oh Sit!”

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).
