Today's Early Overnight Ratings

This table shows the early overnight ratings.

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

Football Leads NBC to Victory; Animated Stunt Works for Fox

Household
Rating/Share
NBC 10.3/17
Fox 8.7/14
CBS 7.7/12
ABC 4.3/ 7

-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening – Sunday 9/29/13:
Fox: +38, CBS: +13, ABC: – 2, NBC: – 1

———-

Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. The overnights, of course, are your first look at what to potentially expect when the other results come in. And we always take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.

-Winners:
“Sunday Night Football” (NBC), “The OT” (Fox), “Madam Secretary” (CBS), “Once Upon a Time” (ABC), “The Simpsons” (Fox), “Family Guy” (Fox), “The Good Wife” (CBS)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
Nothing – year-to-year gains was a pattern for the regularly scheduled scripted programming.

———-

Ratings Breakdown:
The New Orleans Saints at the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” lifted NBC to victory with an estimated 13.5 rating/22 share in the household overnights from 8:30-11:30 p.m., which was 10 percent above the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Carolina Panthers match-up one week earlier (12.3/20 on Sept. 21). Earlier in the evening on NBC was pre-game “Football Night in America” at a 1.5/ 3 at 7 p.m. (#4), a 2.6/ 4 at 7:30 p.m. (#4) and an 8.6/14 at 8 p.m. (#2). With football on the agenda, expect NBC to rule Sunday in fourth quarter.

Over at CBS, results are estimated due to an approximate 15-minute late start caused by NFL Football. And the half-hour estimated breakdown is as follows:

CBS Sunday
7:00 p.m. Football / “60 Minutes”: 7.4/12 (#2)
7:30 p.m. “60 Minutes”: 7.9/13 (#2)
8:00 p.m. “60 Minutes” / “Madam Secretary”: 9.1/14 (#1)
8:30 p.m. “Madam Secretary”: 8.9/13 (#2)
9:00 p.m. “Madam Secretary” / “The Good Wife”: 8.4/12 (#2)
9:30 p.m. “The Good Wife”: 8.0/12 (#2)
10:00 p.m. “The Good Wife” / “CSI” (season premiere): 6.6/11 (#2)
10:30 p.m. “CSI” (season premiere): 5.8/10 (#2)

Particularly promising was this second episode of “Madam Secretary,” which dropped by only an estimated 13 percent from its week-ago Sunday 9-10 p.m. series opener (10.3/16), and that translated into 14.75 million viewers and a 2.0 rating/5 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live Plus Same Day data). With more compatible lead-in support, “The Good Wife” increased from the year-ago season-opener (6.4/10 on 9/23/13) by 28 percent.

In a night of season-premieres, ABC opened with 7 p.m. clips show special “Once Upon a Time: Storybrooke Has Frozen Over” at a 3.1/ 5 (#3) in the household overnights. That led into a 5.5/ 8 (#3) for the fourth season-premiere of “Once Upon a Time” at 8 p.m., which was six percent above the 5.2/ 8 on the year-ago evening (which translated into 8.52 million viewers and a 2.6/ 7 in the demo, based on the Live + Same Day data). And the second season premiere of drama “Resurrection” scored a 4.8/ 7 at 9 p.m., which maintained 86 percent of the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “Once Upon a Time” (5.6/ 8). Comparably, “Resurrection” was nine percent below the 5.3/ 8 for the year-ago season-premiere of former time period occupant “Revenge.”

Season four of “Revenge,” meanwhile, opened with a third-place 3.9/ 7 at 10 p.m., which 11 percent above the series-premiere of failed year-ago time period occupant “Betrayal” (3.5/ 6 on 9/29/13). Comparably, retention for “Revenge” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Resurrection” (4.7/ 7) was adequate at 83 percent.

Over at Fox, an estimated 30-minute primetime football overrun (16.1/28 at 7 p.m.) led into a 16.4/27 (#1) for post-game “The OT.” Mirroring CBS, the overnight results for Fox, which was up by double-digit percentages, are approximate due to football.

In season-premiere news, the longest running scripted series in the history of television, animated “The Simpsons,” kicked-off season 26 with a 5.5/ 8 (#3t) in the 8 p.m. half-hour. Compared to the year-ago season-opener (4.4/ 7 on 9/29/13), this is a rise of 25 percent. And it led into the second season premiere of relocated (and critically acclaimed) live action comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” at a 3.8/ 6 at 8:30 p.m. Comparably, this was 27 percent above “Bob’s Burgers” on the year-ago evening (3.0/ 5 on 9/29/13), with retention out of “The Simpsons” of 69 percent.

Next on Fox was the one-hour season-premiere of animated “Family Guy,” featuring the Griffins traveling to Springfield for a visit with the clan called Simpson, at a 5.4/ 8 from 9-10 p.m. (#3). Year-to-year, this was an increase of a hefty 59 percent in the overnights, which could translate into about a 4-rating among adults 18-49. Given the positive results, maybe the Simpsons could visit the Griffins next!

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.

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

  1. I guess that's good for Once, right?

    ReplyDelete
  2. I wasn't expecting much of a rise for OUAT but that's still disappointing, it was a truly amazing premiere though so I don't see it going down much.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I didn't expect any big increase for Once but being up year to year is positive. That is a series low overnight rating for Resurrection. It never went below a 5.0 and never dropped from Once until now. And this is the final season for Revenge.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Good for Madam Secretary! Will skew old of course, but still not bad.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Major Drop for Revenge from last season's premiere.
    Frozen didn't give OUAT any boost at all.

    ReplyDelete
  6. At least Once didn't drop from last year, so that's a good thing.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I hope Once gets at least 2.6 in the demo and does well enough this season to guarantee a 5th season renewal.
    As for Revenge, I think it's clear this season is the last season.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Revenge is now on an hour later, so yes, of course it dropped. It also has a weaker lead-in.

    ReplyDelete
  9. it is up from last year- I am pretty sure it gets a 5th season and probably a final 6th season like LOST

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yay for Family Guy/Simpsons Crossover!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Someone (can't remember who) said that CBS was apparently giving up on chance the younger crowds and would instead go for the older, wealthier, more educated crowds on Sundays, based on where MS was scheduled. This makes sense, since you can presumably make a lot of money doing that. But still, a 2.0 in the demo ain't terrible, and it looks to be helping TGW, so...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Please save revenge...this show is so good

    ReplyDelete
  13. Isn't it owned by Disney? Given the number of holes ABC has in its schedule (though, possibly less this season) and the fact that it skews young as well as being owned by Disney, it should be fine.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm pretty sure it'll get a 5th season as well but I really want it to go past 6 seasons, I love the show too much :P I'd like at least 8 seasons. There's plenty of stuff for them to work with for that long.

    ReplyDelete
  15. that's true as long as it stays in either high 1s and low to mid 2s it should be fine, plus it does good in the spring

    ReplyDelete
  16. So since doing the math betrayal premiered a 1.5 and revenge was 11 percent above that so I guess that puts it like at a 1.7-1.8

    ReplyDelete
  17. I guessing around 1.8 with 6,5 million which is not bad at all

    ReplyDelete
  18. it depends I mean it does higher than Nashville so I think its a toss up between the two-plus I think abc wants to reach 100 eps- so maybe a short 5th season

    ReplyDelete
  19. Once got a BIG pop in the demo though. It will be in the 3s.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Once will do better than that.

    ReplyDelete
  21. how about revenge? do you have the exact demo for once

    ReplyDelete
  22. if revenge stays around a 1.4-1.5 this season it shoud get a short 5th season

    ReplyDelete
  23. These are metered markets so the numbers can change a lot. That said, Once's metered markets number is 3.5. Revenge is 1.5.

    ReplyDelete
  24. How did Simpsons, Brooklyn 99 and Family guy do?

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's no that bad actually. If it can mantain a rating of 1.2 or higher, it should be fine.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Maybe it was somebody from CBS, Les Moonves or Nina Tassler perhaps? I can't remember having heard that statement, but I do remember that Tassler said a while back that Friday nights were more of a total viewers night than the demo. While this is of course Sunday and not Friday, CBS is still the most-watched network so they might go for total viewers on Sunday nights as well.

    And a 2.0 isn't terrible indeed. Madam Secretary will likely have dropped to a 1.6 or a 1.7, but that's still not so bad. Like you said, it seems to be helping The Good Wife also. While its premiere was down in the demo, it actually had its biggest audience since January 22, 2012.

    ReplyDelete
  27. As someone who quit OUAT Frozen didn't make me interested again. Not even Elizabeth Mitchell or Giancarlo Esposito can make want to watch again. The show still has the same problems.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Marc made no mention of "granddaddy" CSI! This has to be a first. Anyone know how this compared to last year's Wednesday premier? I had low expectations because: 1) death slot/delays; 2) TGW v CM, which would you rather have as a lead-in! OUAT - good that it's steady - hope demo numbers are solid; MS - CBS will have to hope it is "upper-income" draw, like TGW, if so, they may be willing to sacrifice demos for higher end audience.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think it's safe as long as it keeps a rating higher than 1.2. I know Nashville needs another season for syndication, but I can see the show hitting sub 1.0s this season. As long as they give a proper conclusion to Revenge, I'm fine with it ending this year.

    ReplyDelete
  30. same - the concept of revenge is not something that can for very long

    ReplyDelete
  31. 'In season-premiere news, the longest running scripted series in the history of television, animated “The Simpsons,”'
    Umm...I'm pretty sure some Japanese scripted shows started in the 60's and are still running today without break... (both animated and non-animated).

    Even only counting English shows, I believe the UK has one that lasted 30 years or something (summer wine I believe it was called?)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Pretty sure he is referring to US only.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It's also a starting point. Maybe it won't ever be TWD in the demo, but growth isn't impossible these days, even if it's harder.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thats not true about Resurrection. It went as low as a 4.0 http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/04/ratings-news-14th-april-2014.html

    ReplyDelete
  35. Just metered markets. Simp 4.3. Brook 2.9. Fam 5.1.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Banged by Corey StollSeptember 29, 2014 at 3:37 PM

    Once seems to be even with last year opening (around 2.6).
    I bet ABC was expecting something more, given the Frozen effect.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I agree but the metered early markets according to @edward, it was at a whopping 3.5. Of course that is subject to change, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was in the high 2s to low 3s. It must have skewed younger than last year's premiere.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Banged by Corey StollSeptember 29, 2014 at 3:42 PM

    Oh, let's hope these early numbers are confirmed ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Banged by Corey StollSeptember 29, 2014 at 3:44 PM

    Hi, where did you get those early numbers?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Considering the HH I see hard for Revenge to break 2s, but it should do at least 1.7 or higher, and that's still good for the timeslot, plus it has good retation of Resurrection.
    Talking of which, it seems it's on the level it was on its last episodes, so maybe low 2s?
    And OUAT seems to have gather some momentum! High 2s or a 3.0 may be on sight.
    All in all it is a good night for ABC

    ReplyDelete
  41. That looks really good for B99 even with the drop off. Any numbers for Revenge? Pretty please?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ouch at Revenge :(, hope it goes up from there, that's a low demo to premiere to!

    ReplyDelete
  43. that looks good for B99

    ReplyDelete
  44. 4.6, didnt remember that, thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  45. You can really tell anything about the demo from the HH ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Isn't this Revenge Last Season anyway?

    ReplyDelete
  47. not confirmed but should be.

    ReplyDelete
  48. CSI came in #2 with a 5.8...

    ReplyDelete
  49. Nashville will be renewed for syndication

    ReplyDelete
  50. HOLY SH*T ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH OUAT?!? 3.4?!?

    ReplyDelete
  51. WOAH OUAT!
    I'm so happy for those numbers :D!
    If just everything on ABC could be that high!

    ReplyDelete
  52. MASSIVE for OUAT. It tied TBL's return.

    ReplyDelete
  53. OMG!!! A 3.4 ouat? thats amazing I'm glad thats its doing so well

    ReplyDelete
  54. It also had a viewership of around 9.4.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Please Revenge! Please skew young today!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I can't at OUAT's number. Let's see if these numbers will hold though.

    ABC is having a good week.

    ReplyDelete
  57. im so happy for ouat that just made my day! :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. Ressurrection at a 2.2., on par with the season finale.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Wow a 3.4?
    Amazing!
    ABC must be happy with premiere week...at least with most of the nights ;)

    ReplyDelete
  60. Woohoo! I guess all that insane promotion paid off for OUAT! Amazing ratings! They deserve it :)

    ReplyDelete
  61. I'm at shock with the OUAT numbers... I expected a 3.0 at best and even then I would be surprised, but a 3.4?! It hasn't hit such great ratings since fall 2012!!!!!!!!!
    Now, please! Please Revenge skew young today!

    ReplyDelete
  62. That's ok, stability is good, but considering the OUAT numbers it should have done better, but that's still fine

    ReplyDelete
  63. I'm beyond surprised! I was expecting no higher than 2.6 lol!

    ReplyDelete
  64. 8..4m and 4.5 A 18-49 for Family Guy

    ReplyDelete
  65. Madam Secretary fell down to a 1.4.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Considering The Simpsons crossover I'm not surprised.
    Family Guy will launch Mulaney just fine

    ReplyDelete
  67. 12.7m and 1.4A 18-49. for Madam Secretary. Dam it skews so frickin' old

    ReplyDelete
  68. And FOX finally has some good news.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I don't think these two shows share much of the same audience but still I hope Resurrection does well enough to get a third season.

    ReplyDelete
  70. That's pretty low for Revenge...

    ReplyDelete
  71. Revenge returned low for its season premiere, at around 1.4.

    Ouch.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Damn it Madam Secretary... I'm enjoying it.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Revenge doesn't deserve those ratings :(

    ReplyDelete
  74. 1.4 for Revenge is dangerously low for a season premiere. This should definitely be the final season :/

    ReplyDelete
  75. Damn it Revenge!!!!!!!! The premiere was so good, it's really sad to see it at those numbers :(.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Family Guy did a 6.1 on M18-34.

    ReplyDelete
  77. 9.3 millions & 3.4 for OUAT

    ReplyDelete
  78. thats sad poor revenge

    ReplyDelete
  79. Ok, I'm coming to accept it... this may be it for Revenge.
    I really, really wanted it to hit 100 episodes, ending with a 12 episodes 5th season, but now I just hope ABC gives a heads up in case they want to end it now. If so, at least the show will go out in a blast

    ReplyDelete
  80. do you see the numbers? What are they?? can't see them and it's freaking me out..............

    ReplyDelete
  81. OMG congrats to Once ! that's awesome

    ReplyDelete
  82. Amazing for OUAT
    Decent for Resurrection
    Awful for Revenge.

    ReplyDelete
  83. It seems to be a 1.4, in line with the season finale

    ReplyDelete
  84. I haven't watched the season premiere yet (and don't know where I will) but it's definitely sad to see such a good drama in its first season go out like this. But oh well.
    I don't even know if I'll be watching this final season.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Perspective - ABC knows very well how hard it can be to launch a 10pm show. They remember last year. 1.4 isn't great but they had multiple shows that's premiered to less than that last year.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Great news for OUAT, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Family Guy!

    ReplyDelete
  87. urgh WTF? if it keeps that way it will cancelled before the mid-season o__o

    ReplyDelete
  88. WOW at OUAT.


    Not the best start for Revenge.

    ReplyDelete
  89. so upset for revenge :( i guess this is it i will pretty much enjoy it while it lasts

    ReplyDelete
  90. should we expect some shifts regarding football?

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'm really glad that OUAT did so well and that B99 matched its series premiere numbers- obviously lifted by The Simpsons, but whatver-. But Revenge's ratings took all the joy away... seriously, I'm too bumbed right now... DAMN IT! This was the show that always premiered high!
    Now I can only pray to stay right where it is, but that's unlikely :(

    ReplyDelete
  92. Series high for B99! (excluding the Super Bowl)

    ReplyDelete
  93. wait wut? so you're telling me that 11M beyond 50 years old watch Madam S? wow

    ReplyDelete
  94. i don't get it the season finale for revenge was so good.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I just hope we get a final season for Revenge... Either they announce that S4 will be the final Season soon or give a short 5th Season order. I would hate it if a serialized show like Revenge will be cancelled with an cliffhanger =(

    ReplyDelete
  96. Amazing for Once!!!A 3.4& 9 million.Im soo glad it did so well.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Madame Secretary seems like MOL 2.0

    WOW, Once really deserved this ratings. I hope it continues to be strong, and to hold over a 2.5 for the rest of the season (wishful thinking), but I smell a renewal for it. :)))))

  100. revenge even did worse then nashville. i hate that

    ReplyDelete
  101. Except that it's on CBS which is known to be the old skew network.

    ReplyDelete
  102. no way it gets cancelled by then. It's a veteran show, and they are almost always allowed to run their entire season order. ABC may announce that this is the final season, but it won't pull the plug until it airs every episode

    ReplyDelete
  103. That's beyond sad

    ReplyDelete
  104. Oh.... OUAT brought more people at 8.30.. o_o ........YES!
    thanks for those Andy:)

    ReplyDelete
  105. Wow apperantly a 2.6 for Brooklyn-Nine Nine? and i thought it would crash and burn on Sunday... I am so wrong^^

    ReplyDelete
  106. i know right. i guess all we could do is enjoy it while it lasts

    ReplyDelete
  107. DAMN! Revenge cant catch a break. fuck that low 1.4. It really deserves more.
    Frozen really helped OUaT look at that 3.4.

    ReplyDelete
  108. And OUAT is probably going to be adjusted up.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I already came to accept it... god, I'm going to miss this show so much :(

    ReplyDelete
  110. Wow, OUAT actually rose in 2nd half hour, impressive :)

    ReplyDelete
  111. FOX really made a smart move about B99. Sundays are the only thing working for them right now. Maybe Monays as well if Sleepy Hollow rises.

    ReplyDelete
  112. i seriously expected revenge to rise after a finale like that.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Betrayal premiered at 1.5 and then went to 0.7
    Though I don't think Revenge will go that low, I am quite worried about Revenge hitting 1.0s and maybe 0.9s

    ReplyDelete
  114. maybe its the fact that most people didn't like the idea of victoria narrating and david being alive

    ReplyDelete
  115. The reaction of the fanbase and the media said otherwise

    ReplyDelete
  116. i expect ouat had 2.9 or 3.1 but 3.4 really nice the final rating will be 3.5 i guess

    ReplyDelete
  117. looking at these ratings i don't care what revenge gets anymore as long as these writers look at these ratings and announce this season as its final season.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I hope Revenge adjusts up to at least match Betrayal premiere and Nashville season premiere. Those numbers are soul crushing!

    ReplyDelete
  119. Hopefully revenge adjusts to a 1.5 but abc really didn't promote It

    ReplyDelete
  120. The Good Wife's still the second most watched show of the night (not couting the football) it's a shame its demo is not so good. Madam Secretary did well.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Still, 2.0 is not bad. FOX has bigger problems.

    ReplyDelete
  122. yep, like Glee or their other comedies on Tuesdays...

    ReplyDelete
  123. don't know how that happened but well I'm not complaining at all lol.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Yep, David being alive is so BS. It's like they didn't know what else to do and thought, "Hey, let's make David alive:.

    ReplyDelete
  125. i was getting giddy about ouats ratings but then revenges ratings ruined it :(

    ReplyDelete
  126. I disagree: ABC did promote it, but it should have started early with the promotion. From S2 to S3 they hit the jackpot showing Emily get shot on the first week of August. Promotion for Revenge started near September this time around, and though the promos looked good, there wasn't something really grabbing like Emily being shot. Maybe they could have done some other approach, but we can't say ABC didn't promote it. Their promotion was innefective, that's all

    ReplyDelete
  127. Hopefully revenge can rise

    ReplyDelete
  128. Last time OUAT hit those numbers was on November 4th, 2012... :D

    ReplyDelete
  129. Yeah, I was so joyful and now I'm miserable :(

    ReplyDelete
  130. maybe if they left at 9 after ouat it would've done so much better

    ReplyDelete
  131. Resurrection is doing much better at 9 than Revenge, so that was a smart move.

    ReplyDelete
  132. We can hope; Revenge is completely unpredictable when it comes to ratings.
    I gave up last season when in the midseason finale it got a 1.5 and then it came back to a 1.8 in January with no lead in. And it withstood the Golden Globes and Football. So, who knows? The show has a track of surprising, but this isn't a good sign. Let's pray for better ratings- they may happen

    ReplyDelete
  133. Hi Dark ! Is it good for CSI ? As it is a new timeslot, I really don't know how to read those numbers ^^ Thanks in advance :)

    ReplyDelete
  134. It'm really glad to see OUAT back to its S1, early S2 ratings :)
    Let's hope it keeps them

    ReplyDelete
  135. Yep, I mean, it's going to go a little lower, but as long as it's not lower than 2.5 the show is more than safe :)

    ReplyDelete
  136. 3.4 is the confirmed number!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  137. Arguably, the show was safe even if it returned more or less where it left off.

    ReplyDelete
  138. We won't know for sure; last season Revenge held almost all of OUAT premiere (2.6 for OUAT, 2.3 for Revenge) so maybe it would have had better retention that Resurrection, but it's actually impossible to say; it may have bombed either way or not

    ReplyDelete
  139. abc only started to promote revenge towards the premiere.

    ReplyDelete
  140. Well they are CSIs lowest every ratings numbers but it's the first time they are on Sunday so we really cannot until we have 3-4 weeks of ratings data.

    ReplyDelete
  141. well if it returned like Revenge with its season finale's ratings... considering it would go lower throughout the season, the show would not have been safe.

    ReplyDelete
  142. I wonder what OUAT's season low in ratings will be this season...I hope it at least stays above 2.5, after a jump that big anything could happen though, Frozen is clearly the main reason for the spike, they might jump ship when that storyline is finished.

    ReplyDelete
  143. That's what happened with AoS, but ABC actually had teasers and a promo by the start of September. They should have started early and maybe gone differently with their approach, but at least they didn't completely ignore it like AoS or Resurrection

    ReplyDelete
  144. I do hope the 3-month break will bring more people than ever!

    ReplyDelete
  145. because it's against CSI... This show is still strong for its 15th season !

    ReplyDelete
  146. OUAT's finale ratings last year was 2.3, right? I don't think it would be that shabby for ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  147. I meant in season 1's ratings included.

    ReplyDelete
  148. My guess is that some episode will go as low as 2.1 and maybe even 2.

    ReplyDelete
  149. if OUAT does a good enough job, most viewers should stick.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Well at least Glee is ending (thank god).

    ReplyDelete
  151. It would have been just fine. ABC must be over the moon for restoring OUAT to its former glory- even if it only has Frozen to thank for that.
    Now if only Revenge... ugh, I have to stop doing that, it will only make me sadder

    ReplyDelete
  152. Yep but as I said, it would've gone lower and lower throughout the season and maybe hit 1.7-1.8s and then ABC would've started to worry but let's not talk about things that didn't happen and focus on the great numbers OUAT brought us!

    ReplyDelete
  153. Idk if OUAT's 3.4 is restoring it to its former glory. Let's wait and see how week 2 goes.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Oh, then sure, it did better than Revenge at 9PM, so it did make sense that they kept it there.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Nah, don't think CSI is the problem here for Revenge.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Great for OUAT,it will most probably get adjusted up as it often does.Poor revenge,i dread to think what it's season low would be!This would be it's last season!

    ReplyDelete
  157. Well I suppose that's still pretty good for a season low, I hope it doesn't drop that far and then stay there though or even drop more in S5 (assuming it's renewed)

    ReplyDelete
  158. And 1.7-1.8 is just fine if most other shows hit the same or around.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Yeah, I hope so too. If this is going to be the last season, pull out the big guns! I want a season of blazing fire of war of Emily and Victoria!

    ReplyDelete
  160. I mean.... they could do the Revenge of the Duke of Weselton.. right?

    ReplyDelete
  161. If Nashville's episode order gets trimmed to 13 assuming the ratings continue to decline, it won't get renewed for season 4.

    ReplyDelete
  162. I didn't say it was bad, I said 1.7s would have ABC worrying.

    ReplyDelete
  163. I hope so, 4A looks to be more than good enough to hold on to viewers and with Maleficent returning in 4B that should be very good too, the only thing that could ruin is when The Knave arrives, personally though I'm looking forward to his arrival :)

    ReplyDelete
  164. Unless it pulls a surprise uptick- and with this show you never know-, then yeah... this is it.
    But I'd be ok with it as long as it is announced ASAP so that the writers start preparing a great final season

    ReplyDelete
  165. the best thing that they could do for this show is make this announce this as the final season, so that way we won't have to worry about ratings anymore

    ReplyDelete
  166. At this point, yeah, I'd rather have that. I can't bite my nails every Monday while waiting for the ratings

    ReplyDelete
  167. Me too,a proper ending is all i need.I have no problem watching this season as final.

    ReplyDelete
  168. Maybe American Crime will help Revenge in march ?

    ReplyDelete
  169. my expectation werent that high i wanted Revenge to be more than 1.5, if it got 1'8i was gonna be beyond happy. but c'mon 1.4 is devastating, how this show that started so good in ratings is going down horribly. I just hope it stays like this for the entire season i really dont want it to hit 1's o .9's...

    ReplyDelete
  170. Haha, never gave this show a chance so... won't miss it.

    ReplyDelete
  171. i doubt by then revenge will probably be deader then dead

    ReplyDelete
  172. Revenge was against CSI in 2011.

    ReplyDelete
  173. And CSI won the timeslot.

    ReplyDelete
  174. I am devastated by Revenge's ratings. So sad how underrated this show is.


    In another news, I am over the moon with how well B99 and OUAT did. OUAT is such a pleasant surprise. I was expecting it to beat last year's season premiere, but I didn't count on it getting back to the 3s in such a big way! So great!

    ReplyDelete
  175. Not an OUaT fan but... respect. For a show to reach a height it hasn't seen in nearly 2 years is damn impressive.

    That being said: all summer, we complained that ABC was focusing all of its promotion on TGIT and OUaT and ignoring everything else. Now look at the ratings. This just proves that if you promote and have a decent hook (like Frozen/Shonda), people WILL watch. Networks need to stop throwing their less-successful shows to the wolves because "yeah, it's doomed anyway".

    ReplyDelete
  176. Sad about Revenge. Its creative ups-and-downs notwithstanding, I have a soft spot for that show. Barring a miracle in the next few weeks, ABC should just announce this the final season and give Sunil Nayar and co. the time needed to write towards a kick-ass, satisfying finale.

    ReplyDelete
  177. I agree. Resurrection barely got promotion so I'm surprised it got a 2.2. I was expecting lower that with the little promotion the show got. I just hope it keeps getting low 2s.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Revenge is so done and over with. Stick a fork in it already. After s1, it's been heading downhills. David Clarke alive is a joke. And also the one thing Revenge creator and former showrunner did NOT want. Easy to understand why. I don't even like Emily anymore. And I am just plain allergic to Victoria and Daniel. S3 was my finale.

    ReplyDelete
  179. im not surprised resurrection had a good lead in. even if they didn't promote it the lead in helped it

    ReplyDelete
  180. Yeah and ironically, sometimes final season announcements help the ratings a bit because they generate buzz and pique the interest of past viewers who stopped watching at some point.

    ReplyDelete
  181. It will rise. Just wait. haha

    ReplyDelete
  182. I was skeptical about the Frozen additions but I really enjoyed the premiere and I hope new fans stick around. Still, even as a HUGE fan of Frozen, the best moment in the whole episode had nothing to do with it.

    ReplyDelete
  183. i could see how everyone just wanted this show to end. if they announced this as its final season then I'm pretty sure it would've done much better
