Ratings Breakdown:
CBS managed to maintain overnight Tuesday dominance despite facing game one of The 2014 World Series, besting baseball by two-tenths of a rating point (or two percent) in households. But Fox came to life care of the San Francisco Giants vs. the Kansas City Royals (7-1) with an estimated 8.5 rating/14 share in the household overnights from 8-11 p.m. (peaking in the 9 p.m. half-hour with a 9.4/15). Comparably, this was 13 percent below the 9.8/15 for game one of the St. Louis Cardinals at the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013. And that translated into 14.40 million viewers and a 4.2 rating/13 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data.

One week earlier, Fox averaged a mere 1.4/ 2 in the household overnights with its combination of repeats of “The Simpsons” and “Bob’s Burgers” and original installments of “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project.” Fox, needless to say, is hoping for a seven game series.

CBS, meanwhile, slipped by only four percent from one week earlier with its line-up of “NCIS” (#1: 10.5/16), “NCIS: New Orleans” (#1: 9.5/14) and “Person of Interest” (#2: 6.0/10). “NCIS: New Orleans,” of course, is a shoo-in for a full season episode order at any moment.

NBC was also on the Tuesday overnight map thanks to “The Voice” at a 7.8/12 (#3) from 8-9 p.m., which was 66 percent above year-ago occupant “The Biggest Loser” (4.7/ 7 on 10/22/13). But week two of lead-out sitcom “Marry Me” slipped to a distant 4.2/ 6 in the 9 p.m. half-hour, which was 25 percent below the 5.6/ 9 series-opener last week. And that translated into 7.54 million viewers and a 2.3/ 7 among adults 18-49 (out of 12.34 million and a 3.4/11 in the demo for “The Voice”). Last night, overnight retention for “Marry Me” out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (8.2/12) was lacking at 51 percent.

Next on NBC was sophomore “About a Boy” (#3: 3.3/ 5 at 9:30 p.m.), which dropped by 21 percent from the 4.2/ 6 season-opener one week earlier, followed by “Chicago Fire” at a consistent 4.6/ 8 (#3) at 10 p.m. Comparably, overnight growth for “Chicago Fire” out of “About a Boy” was a noticeable 39 percent.

Elsewhere, week three of just-renewed “The Flash” on The CW dropped 10 percent from week two with a 2.7/ 4 at 8 p.m. But that 2.7 rating was still 80 percent above year-ago occupant “The Originals” (1.5/ 2 on 10/22/13). Three-week overnight track for “The Flash”: 3.4/ 5 – 3.0/ 5 – 2.7/ 4.

Next on The CW was veteran “Supernatural” at a 1.5/ 2 at 9 p.m. (#5), which was flat from both last week and the year-ago evening.

Over at ABC, the early results remain dismal for sitcoms “Selfie” (#4: 2.8/ 4) and “Manhattan Love Story” (#4: 2.1/ 3), which dropped from year-ago occupant “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” (5.1/ 8 on 10/22/13) by an average of 52 percent. Overnight results for both comedies, which have three more scripts ordered, were series-lows. Relocated “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD,” meanwhile, could only muster a fourth-place 3.0/ 5 from 9-10 p.m., which was two-tenths of a rating point (or six percent) below the 3.2/ 5 one week earlier. But that 3.2 overnight rating still translated into respectable 1.7/ 5 among adults 18-49.

Capping off the night for ABC was episode five of drama “Forever” at a 3.4/ 6 at 10 p.m., which was flat from one week earlier (and that resulted in 4.81 million viewers and a 1.1/ 3 in the demo, based on the Live + Same Day data).

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.

202 comments:

  1. 1. Looks like NBC comedies took a hit, not a positive sign.
    2. AOS hits new low in HH, if it goes below 1.5 it will be in trouble (well it go into the 2s in HH?)
    3. FOX is probably just real happy right now!

    ReplyDelete
  2. Another series low for shield this is just ridiculous after the amazing episode :( hopefully next week will be better with the trailer

    ReplyDelete
  3. it tied its overnight low from 2 weeks ago which translated to a 1.6 in the demo. ABC really needs to pull those horrific comedies already.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)October 22, 2014 at 2:24 PM

    I wonder how much of a boost the Avengers: Age of Ultron trailer will give AOS next week, if at all.


    Those World Series numbers have me so nervous about it pulling lots of viewers away from The 100 tonight :( I'm so excited for The 100 coming back tho!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Maybe they might finally pull them this week

    ReplyDelete
  6. Agreed even if they are causing shield to lose .1 or.2 demo points its enough for renewal or cancellation for networks

    ReplyDelete
  7. I already was saying goodbye to selfie and MLS since it started but forever I'm sort of shocked and im so happy for The Flash finally something that is amazing and the ratings can add up

    ReplyDelete
  8. I don't think it has any effect on AOS

    ReplyDelete
  9. It might give quite a big boost actually marvel will be smart enough to debut it after shield ends and since the episode has a lot of shield vs hydra new viewers might actually stick with it
    The promo gives a whole political vibe like Captain America:TWS

    ReplyDelete
  10. Nooo! Marry Me :(.
    It's so sad to see that it's not doing good following The Voice. Hopefully it didn't fall too much on the demos

    ReplyDelete
  11. Um -- the chart of ratings at the top of this article isn't for last night ...

    ReplyDelete
  12. The table is totally wrong, looks like its from last year or something, anyway Forever was at least stable, maybe it could sneak out a 1.2 this week, these comedies are just dragging down the whole night tho.

    ReplyDelete
  13. This week it was to be expected. I also expect Flash to be a bit down. Both shows skew male so they are bound to be more affected by a heavy male skewing event coming their way (the world series). Same reason why I am worried about arrow and the 100 tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Those could be trouble for AOS but I'll reserve judgment until finals are out

    ReplyDelete
  15. NBC: what happened last night? Was it the World Series?

    ReplyDelete
  16. I hope so, then it can rebound once it's over

    ReplyDelete
  17. hopefully but I don't think theres a huge overlap between baseball fans and the voice/marryme

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not looking good for Marry Me (and AAB)

    ReplyDelete
  19. The only thing they have going for them is that they are still going to be higher than Bad Judge and A to Z... well, if About a Boy fell too much, who knows?
    Let's hope the slipagge isn't that bad

    ReplyDelete
  20. The 100 worries me too I love the show so much the cw should promote it a lot I'm worried for it seeing arrows dip last week

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm waiting for Flash's numbers to stabilize, hope the dip this week was because of the WS.

    Flash was renewed?! I thought it was a full season pick-up. Great!

    ReplyDelete
  22. It was a full season pick-up. Berman should get his facts right.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Their Monday also went quite disastrous in my opinion. They fell 15% week to week and were down 21% year to year.


    I hope About a Boy managed to hang in there. It's such a charming, underappreciated show.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ok it's a stupid question but how exactly do you read the early analysis numbers? (e.g. 6.0/10 for Person of Interest) I've always wondered about that but usually I just wait until the early overnight table comes up

    ReplyDelete
  25. Berman calls getting a back-order as "full-season renewed", which isn't really a term.

    ReplyDelete
  26. It really looks like another bad year for comedy in general.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think that The Voice is slowly starting its downward spiral which will impact NBC greatly

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hi,

    Have you tried reading the Ratings FAQ that should be linked to in the article. It should help explain things.

    ReplyDelete
  29. These early number just give an indication of total viewers. Can't predict demos from these.
    A 6.0/10 is usually near 10 million viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I actually did, but I probably overlooked it while skimming :) Will take a closer look, thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  31. No problem. I think wikipedia also has some good info on Nielsen Ratings and Household numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  32. New series low for AoS, it is like the title 1x16: End Of The Beginning.

    ReplyDelete
  33. So much for the comments suggesting Agents of SHIELD hit a low, according to the top 25 early markets ! The Flash is truly a bonafide hit for the CW. The next Smallville for them, perhaps?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Banged by Corey StollOctober 22, 2014 at 3:25 PM

    Very vad drops for NBC comedies.

    ReplyDelete
  35. If Marry Me falls 4 tenths on the fast affiliate numbers like last week it's going to be a very ugly drop :/. I really hope it did score that 1.8, otherwise I can already see its doom

    ReplyDelete
  36. It's probably time shifting more than anything else. The numbers seem to hold up when later viewings are factored in.
    Last night was the second episode of AAB that I caught. I liked it much more than the first. I also liked the second episode of Marry Me.
    Anyway, this does present something of a problem for NBC. It needs to launch another comedy block, and it'd be great if it could use TV, but it can only do that in so many ways. Perhaps more importantly, it can't keep yanking shows around. It was patient with CF, and it worked. Given that MM is actually funny, I'd really like them to give it some time to grow.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Perhaps.
    Unless I missed something, it's still not clear when, exactly, it'll come back in the spring. While I can see the logic in trying to premiere it right after the Superbowl, I could also see the logic in letting it take a breather.
    NBC has a lot of decent but not particularly great unscripted performers. If I were the network, I'd focus like a laser on developing two different (as in, not similar concepts) so they could be used on different nights. Maybe make at least one of them very youth focused, sort of like that Bill Eichner show where he does little but approach people on the street. Or maybe they could broadcast Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars production on the air.
    If something clicks, it could then be used so that TV could take a season or two off.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Marry Me down 9 tenths from its top 25 rating last week, lmao

    ReplyDelete
  39. Marry Me is doomed. Too bad NBC cancelled Mission Control. All their other comedies are gonna be DOA.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I have cleared the cookies and have deactivated adblock,still can't see the charts today?Someone help.

    ReplyDelete
  41. For real though. It's not a great show anyway. Maybe NBC will finally give Bad Judge a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  42. It will. AoS and NCIS skew the opposite way, the first one will go down and the other will go up

    ReplyDelete
  43. Last week SHIELD had a 1.9 top 25 rating while NOLA had a 1.7. SHIELD is down a tenth while NOLA is steady.

    ReplyDelete
  44. AOS will never recover from last year's terrible start. I was at Comicfest this week in San Diego and it had ZERO interest to anyone there. The buzz was decidedly for The Flash...will be at Stan Lee's comickazi in a couple weeks...I bet it will be the same, and Stan Lee is Mr. Marvel comics!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Some of the networks, but NBC in particular, are caught in that hard place where they have decent shows, but nothing that is clicking just yet, and so many scheduling obstacles that it's hard to work around. They probably do need to let something like Marry Me have time to try to click, but it's using the best spot the network has, so...
    This is one of the reasons why I want Wednesdays blown up. I assume Mondays and Tuesdays are kind of fixed, and Thursdays might not see a new high profile comedy for another few seasons. (Maybe they will put Cosby there.) on Wednesdays, only ABC has comedies, and while they are strong, they are not invincible. I can see the logic in trying to counter program ABC with something like, well, Marry Me, and then maybe using Tuesdays for some sort of family comedies.

  46. Hi @Joy Haldar Try pressing CTRL-F5 to force a refresh

    ReplyDelete
  47. The Charts arn't up yet I don't think, I can't see them. Earlier it was up but had wrong data on it (seemed like last years or a mix of shows anyway from different days) that was taken down quickly. The chart usually appears any minute now actually

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yeah, Arrow was hit hard by baseball last year, and it's already on the low end (.8), so worrying makes sense. It had a mere .7 against the World Series last year and then hit a 1.2 within a month.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Sophomore bounces for Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Goldbergs as well as a solid showing from Blackish brighten the picture a bit, but yeah. Mulaney, Selfie, MLS, and A to Z pretty much flopped. Bad Judge and Marry Me don't look good. At least Christela is beating the Neighbors (high bar, I know)

    ReplyDelete
  50. 1.4 for Flash. I hope it stabilizes now.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Really hoping that Selfie pulls through. A nice show with great actors/actresses. A pleasant surprise, for sure

    ReplyDelete
  52. The Flash is still doing amazingly well for the CW.

    ReplyDelete
  53. There was word from insiders, whoever they are, in EW yesterday that the crop of midseason shows is thought to be weak by those running the networks. I wonder if that includes both comedies and dramas.
    I'm really hoping UKS works for NBC. It sounds like a novel concept, and I usually like what Tina Fey does.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Uh, not such a bad drop for Marry Me after all; I was fearing the worst!
    1.9 aint that pretty, but considering I was fearing a 1.4, I'll take it! Hopefuly it won't fall that much from there

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'm not in the least suprised it flopped, I had it down as a certain cancellation early on in the season as soon as it was picked up. I dont see it last beyond 2014.

    ReplyDelete
  56. It keeps dropping, still not to negative numbers or anything but I'm worried that it soon will reach CW average numbers o.O

    ReplyDelete
  57. Banged by Corey StollOctober 22, 2014 at 4:15 PM

    Definitely no Season 3 for AOS.

    ReplyDelete
  58. That's not THAT terrible for MM. It's kind of worse for AAB, since it's now in the territory where it's not deserving of the spot.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I hope The Flash adjuts up and that it stays in the 1.5 range for the rest of the season, but even if it ends up doing regular 1.0s it's still fine

    ReplyDelete
  60. That show is pretty dead too

    ReplyDelete
  61. And only down 4 tenths from last week, actually

    ReplyDelete
  62. how likely is it that ABC cancels their entire Tuesday night lineup? nothing's working there.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Chigago fire & AOS hit low :(

    ReplyDelete
  64. Chicago Fire was lower last week.

    ReplyDelete
  65. No where near a low for Chicago fire.

    ReplyDelete
  66. The baseball did all this damage in the shows...maybe next week, many shows can go up!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Top freshman dramas last year are falling (Resurrection, Sleepy Hollow, The Blacklist, and AOS). I know some are still pulling good ratings for the network but still.....

    ReplyDelete
  68. Yeah, after a certain point, maybe it makes sense to just move on. The network only has so many available slots, and it's not like anything is preventing them from trying something similar later on if they want.
    Hell, they could try something new next season if they wanted. Or maybe if this Agent Carter show works, go with that instead of AOS.

    ReplyDelete
  69. doesnt baseball last a few weeks?

    ReplyDelete
  70. not sure but CF's low is liek a 1.5 or something?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Top dramas of this season are hitting lows too. Murder and Scorpion are already in the 2s

    ReplyDelete
  72. not from the US so I havent a clue, I just assume it lasts a few weeks because its always billed as a huge sporting event in the US

    ReplyDelete
  73. Where can we see the half hours?

    ReplyDelete
  74. They need to start by yanking MLS now, Selfie seems to have stabilized a bit in the low 1's but the drop to MLS is huge which is not helping AOS at all and in turn Forever (which similar to Selfie seems to be stable in the low 1's) is also not being helped.


    I think before they cancel or move any of those 3 they need to pull MLS and see if that helps get the night moving somewhat.

    ReplyDelete
  75. The same for me!!! I'm not from U.S but if it last longer, I think we have to get used to these numbers!!!

    ReplyDelete

  77. fine yes, still dissapointing...I was hoping for Flash to be the flagship to pull theCW out of the mud :(

    ReplyDelete
  78. Is that a relatively good rating for Person Of Interest? I really enjoy it. Wouldn't like to see it tank

    ReplyDelete
  79. It's potentially 7 games which will be Tues, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun, Tue, Wed


    So it could be over Sat and not impact next week at all

    ReplyDelete
  80. thanks


    damn it Forever and AoS :(

    ReplyDelete
  81. It's ok, I guess. Not good, not horrible, only acceptable. It should be a couple of tenths higher to be doing good. It will probably see another season, but it's getting moved to either Sunday or Friday

    ReplyDelete
  82. Wow at NCIS New Orleans posting full retention out of NCIS. Chicago Fire did amazing for NBC but the comedies did real bad. Poor About a Boy, I really want that show to stick around. Marry Me is not long for this world though. Elsewhere, the CW held up surprisingly well despite the world series and Shield took its predictable drop against the male skewing event it had against it.

  83. I dont get it, why is SHIELD and Forever spiraling down?!?!?! I think this might be the end for ABC on Tuesdays, they may have to wipe everything there and start over.


    Farewell SHIELD, it was nice knowing you.

    ReplyDelete
  84. SHIELD is ABC's lowest drama.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Not even close

    ReplyDelete
  86. Revenge, Nashville, Forever do worse than SHIELD. Resurrection now too.

    ReplyDelete
  87. CBS should switch failing POI with CSI/CSI: Cyber. CBS doesn't own POI and certainly the CSI franchise would be a far better fit with NO than TGW. For whatever reason, POI is just not cutting it - maybe it's the serial aspect. Those ratings are too low considering ABC has basically gone dark again on Tuesdays at 10

    ReplyDelete
  88. Hm...
    ABC drama week so far:
    1. Shield/Castle
    3. Forever

    Still to come:
    - Virtually certain to beat Shield: TGIT, OUAT
    - Unlikely to beat Shield: Revenge, Resurrection, Nashville

    Furthermore, Shield tends to adjust up which would also put it ahead of Castle.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Shield is not getting cancelled. I may have to start putting this on copy paste memory every Wednesday.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Yeah it's Sunday or Friday bound. Serialization last year really hurt it, sadly, even if this year they are mostly back to procedural.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Let's not even talk about the top freshman comedy from last year then :P

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'm talking about viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Chicago Fire had one of its most impressive performances yet and by far its most impressive performance of the season.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Agents of Shield is not getting cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  95. That's exactly what it is doing.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Who even cares about total viewers? It looks nice, but it's mostly irrelevant

    ReplyDelete
  97. Remember that the flash is extremely male skewing so it was bound to be very affected by the World Series, the same way the CW male Wednesdays has been hitting fall lows against the world series for the past two years and the same way Shield was down last night.

    ReplyDelete
  98. ABC renewed Nashville for a 3rd season when it was getting 1.2-1.4 for more than half the season.


    Also FOX got a 11.74m viewers last night. You know what its peak was last week? 2.26m for New Girl. Also let's wait for final adjustments where AoS has a history of adjusting up.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I think Marry Me looks a tad worse since it's leading directly out of the voice and is only 0.5 higher. About a Boy also has the episode count advantage. But it's picking hairs, really, neither show did well. I don't think Marry Me is getting a backorder.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Yeah I'm hoping for steady 1.5s or anything over 1 for the rest of the season.
    May settle after baseball.
    A bit worried about 100 tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Agents of Shield is getting renewed. I will have to type this over and over again for people to get it, it appears.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Best of 7 series, 1st to 4 wins, rest of games are Today, Fri, Sat, Sun, Tue, Wed


    Could end Saturday but could go all the way to Wednesday

    ReplyDelete
  103. Agents of Shield is not getting cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  104. One of the few smart people when it comes to AoS renewal chances.

    ReplyDelete
  105. is baseball popular in America? A lot of the ratings for shows seem down.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Agents of Shield is not getting cancelled.

    And I think Marry Me looks pretty bad to be honest. I am not really sure if it will get a backorder if it isn't done falling. It's hard to know for sure what the bar is since it's obvious NBC's highest rated comedy but it's a Go On in the making, if not worse IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  107. The Blacklist and Sleepy Hollow are still holding well. AoS really started showing the drops from episode 2 and onwards, so it's not that surprising. Same could be said about Resurrection, but its ratings fell to 1.5 quicker than Shield, so it's more shocking

    ReplyDelete
  108. It depends on how Marry Me does next week and onwards; should it score 2.0-1.8 range is defenitely getting a back order. If it goes lower than 1.6- which could happen- it's 13 and done

    ReplyDelete
  109. thanks for the correction

    ReplyDelete
  110. The retention of NCIS:NO out of the mothership is very impressive. That said, a 2.4 isn't that great for NCIS

    Those NBC commedies don't look good to me. I wonder if either will make it past this season. And i'm thoroughly enjoying Marry Me.

    ReplyDelete
  111. yes I was wrong

    ReplyDelete
  112. Agents of Shield and Forever - That's depressing

    ReplyDelete
  113. thanks for the correction

    ReplyDelete
  114. sad to see Forever so low, I really like that show. This is why i hate watching any new shows. I have a feeling this will be gone very soon too.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I know AoS is not getting cancelled- at least not yet. I'm just saying it is worriesome to look it so low even with the world series considered. It could still adjust up, but if it doesn't I don't know if it'll be back to a 1.7 next week.


    Marry Me did not do well, but I was fearing much worse considering how it fell on the early 25 market last week, so it came as a relief, but it's nothing to celebrate. If it goes below 1.6 in the coming weeks the show will be 13 episodes and done.

    ReplyDelete
  116. A 1.4 is still enough to be the flagship show for The CW

    ReplyDelete
  117. Such a shame though, because last night's episode was phenomenal.


    Sunday or Friday move would kill it (due to sports on Sundays and Death Spot on Fridays), and frankly, what could CBS put there to do better? Switch it with NCIS:LA, assuming it survives? Putting it on Mondays at 10 brings too much competition from Castle and The Blacklist. It's old spot is Football now, so that's out.

    Not many options for it, unfortunately, so the best it can hope for is to keep it's slot. I think the switch from Thursday @ 9 to Tuesday @ 10 hurt it more than serialization did.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Baseball get male demo - usually CBS/CW have been most impacted by baseball (especially CBS). This year will probably be lowest rated WS with a west coast team and a team that hasn't been in playoffs in 29 years.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I Live in England so can't comment too much on the impact it had (I do watch baseball tho was up to 4am watching it last night). It is the national pastime and all that but NFL is way more popular these days as the numbers show in the ratings for those games. This series features KC and San Francisco not the biggest markets in the country so the ratings arn't affected as much as say if it was a Boston, Chicago, NY, LA team in the World series. It has some impact no doubt but overall its hard to judge.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Damn, AoS, why you keep dropping?
    ABC is definietely going to pull MLS this week.
    None of NBC's comedies are looking great, ratings-wise.

    ReplyDelete
  121. It sucks. Forever's on a tough night at a tough hour (vs. Person of Interest, Chicago Fire, and it's a 10pm slot). Most shows on ABC at this time on this night get cancelled. They're going to be hard pressed to find a show that will do okay here.

    ReplyDelete
  122. POI's numbers are frustrating because it's quality is higher than ever...

    ReplyDelete
  123. I know right?! It sucks that AoS keeps falling. It keeps it up, it will be off the air this year.


    NCIS: NO is just killing AoS ratings.


    And they better pull those comedy shows quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  124. It's down about 30% in both viewers and demo over episode 5 of last year. Ratings in season 2 were never below 2.0 in the demo. So ... yeah.

    ReplyDelete
  125. Short form, the numbers Mark uses are the total share, not the 18-49 ones, so they'll tend to be higher

    ReplyDelete
  126. Ideally they yank everything down an hour - SHIELD back at 8, Forever at 9... but then they're both against NCIS which doesn't make their lives any easier,

    ReplyDelete
  127. ... Never mind the fact that nearly every single network show has seen similar dips compared to a few years ago. People simply watch TV differently now.

    ReplyDelete
  128. 18-34 ratings per showbuzzdaily:
    NBC:
    The Voice: 2.2
    Marry Me: 1.4
    About a Boy: 1.0
    Chicago Fire: 1.2


    ABC:
    Selfie: 0.8
    MLS: 0.5
    AoS: 1.0
    Forever: 0.8


    FOX:
    World Series: 2.9 (8-9PM) 2.5 (9-10PM)


    CBS:
    NCSI: 1.3
    NCSI NO: 1.4
    POI: 0.8


    CW:
    The Flash: 1.3
    SPN: 0.8


    Marry Me looks stronger on 18-34 with better retention of The Voice (63% as opposed to 55% with 18-49) and only off 3 tenths from last week (1.7).
    Flash continues to be strong with that demo, being one of the highest rated scripted shows- only behind Marry Me and NCSI NO.

    ReplyDelete
  129. MLS is easily the funniest new comedy .. why is it so low :(

    ReplyDelete
  130. Thanks. That's a pity. Can only hope it picks up. :(

    ReplyDelete
  131. POI is looking downright ugly for CBS right now.

    ReplyDelete
  132. AOS getting those numbers on ABC...how can it NOT be listed as a loser. The plots have been better since the last four episodes last year, but geee....4.2 million viewers? And no, I don't think The Avengers movie will help much because they tried to help AOS with Thor and Captain America tie-ins and it didn't help then either.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Well, CBS dramas aren't doing blockbuster numbers either. But yeah, POI's numbers aren't pretty

    ReplyDelete
  134. Is it though? Week 3 and we fell from a 1.9 to a 1.4.
    Sure shows usually drop from their premieres but still I`d be wary

    ReplyDelete
  135. 5 seasons sounds about right though

    ReplyDelete
  136. Lowest rated drama for them, when not counting Fridays and Sundays.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I don't really mind what day it gets moved to as long as keeps going.

    I liked Revolution too. Sad it was cancelled. I wouldn't like to think I jinx the shows I like!

    ReplyDelete
  138. Nolan and Plageman only plan to go to 6 season no matter the situation anyway, as far as they've hinted. So let's hope they get to tell the whole story they intend to.

    ReplyDelete
  139. NCSI, NCSI NO and Scorpion are the only 3 dramas on CBS above 2s. Everything else is doing 1s. POI's 1.5 is not that far from NCSI LA or Stalker's 1.7.
    POI would look much better with that 1.7, but it's not that horrible either

    ReplyDelete
  140. AoS's numbers make me want to KILL someone. It's Nikita all over again, absolutely fantastic show getting horrific numbers because the American public is stupid and severely lacks taste. UGH!

    ReplyDelete
  141. That's the sad thing - if it were to stabilise at a 1.5 ABC might consider keeping it, given their lack of success in that timeslot recently.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Ummm, okay. Giacinta asked if that was a relatively good rating for POI. It's not. Didn't see a question about every other network show or the viewing habits of people these days. For POI, it's a lousy rating.

    ReplyDelete
  143. Everybody goes through that face in which they think they jinx the show they like. It's just tough luck: once I had all the shows I liked renewed, it was awesome. And then next season 5 got canned.
    It's just a matter of luck and timing

    ReplyDelete
  144. At this rate they'll be lucky with 5 though.
    Kinda dissapointing...I love that show

  146. AOS is utterly bland and generic, I'm actually surprised the public doesn't like it.

    ReplyDelete
  147. well given that Stalker is a freshman that's better for POI

    ReplyDelete
  148. Probably not, but there's a case, maybe even a strong one, for doing so.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Yeah, A lot of it is luck, but it's just so annoying at times when you become attached to a show and its characters and whoosh, the rug's pulled ouit from under you, and the show is no more!

    Especially when comedy sit-coms ( and here I apologise to their fans) which I never watch get great ratings, and quirky unusual shows get the boot.
    Only the strong survive, I suppose!

    ReplyDelete
  150. Very curious to see what these numbers look like in +3 and +7.


    Could we be seeing a situation where NBC goes into midseason with no comedies currently on the air? How many does AAB have for its second season?

    ReplyDelete
  151. But NCIS LA is their own show, POI will start getting the Mentalist treatmeant.

    ReplyDelete
  152. I would say Flash/AOS might be the most impacted since they usually have the highest male demo on Tuesday.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I think part of why the ratings for tv shows on average are getting lower and lower is that in general tv is in the process of dying out.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Is this true? I could be looking at the numbers differently, but are the shows I watch on The CW also the three best rated shows on the network going in the order of The Flash, Arrow and Supernatural?

    ReplyDelete
  155. I'll just watch the trailer on YouTube.

    ReplyDelete
  156. POI is amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  157. WS is bringing down everything, lets hope it will be over soon. Pity they moved POI from Thursday, I love that show, also Chicago Fire is getting better. Dropping The Flash, I love Arrow, but the Flash is not for me...

    ReplyDelete
  158. People keep telling me reasons why I shouldn't be too worried about PoI, but sadly I still am. At least it didn't drop further, but 1.5 isn't a region with much buffer and I'd certainly like it at 1.7 or higher. I just hope it doesn't get axed if it keeps its slow decline (oddly, the procedural episodes didn't do any good). :/ Worst case, it should be given a final season when it's time, to give them the chance of wrapping it up properly.

    The show deserves more than such a low rating.

    ReplyDelete
  159. AoS will be fine it go up to 1.6 or 1..7 maybe next week will help with aou trailer plus a white collar star will help a bit in rating

    ReplyDelete
  160. Still think WS is responsible, POI will recover once baseball is over. Baseball effects more shows with a high male audience.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I'm curious... I haven't watched The Mentalist yet, so what's that treatment? :o

    ReplyDelete
  162. either sent on Friday or Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  163. How many episodes have you watched, exactly?

    ReplyDelete
  164. The Avengers 2 trailer can only help the show if they promote the crap out of it, which they didn't bother to do with the Winter Soldier crossover. The movie wasn't even mentioned in the promo for that episode.

    ReplyDelete
  165. how Sad for SPN I liked that Ep well the ending anyway the ratings got too get better now that the brothers are together doing what they need too do. AOS went down too damn you baseball.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Its not lousy, CBS 10 Pm shows are all doing poor, heck NCIS:LA did over 2.0 and huge audience but now at 10 pm Monday it is also struggling and that's after the show has been syndicated and in its 6th season. Now I know CBS doesn't own POI like NCIS but it can simply negotiate with WB to sell the episodes cheap and WB will oblige because they care about what Netflix and WGN will pay (more than 150 million).


    CBS will definitely wait for WGN and Netfilx to air and see if ratings rise before it tinkers POI again because at the end of the day this is all CBS's doing. Thursday comedy expansion backfired on them with both POI, Elementary struggling because of incompatible lead ins.

    ReplyDelete
  167. i've watched both Nikita (all of it) and AOS (first season) and AOS can't compare imo to Nikita. I wanted to love AoS but the writing is uneven and I still don't feel invested in most of the characters.

    ReplyDelete
  168. I don't think they will cut About a Boy's episode order. If the situation doesn't improve, they will likely not air more than Marry Me and then air About a Boy straight through during the voice hiatus (in double pumps if need be) and just premiere two new comedies after it in the Spring cycle again. But I really need About a Boy to find a way to be renewed, I love the show.

    ReplyDelete
  169. It's a sophomore show currently performing at 77% of its network average. The ~80% level is usually good enough for sophmores but Shield is a case in which every other factor is also going for it:
    - In the M18-34 demo, the show is currently performing at 122% of ABC's drama average, which is a huge boost it creates in terms of ad rates.
    - While DVR numbers are of tricky use and often provide no real boost to shows, Shield's numbers jump to 84% of ABC's drama average once L3 are included, which means the C3 numbers (aka the ones that actually count) are probably a bit higher than the ones we are seeing.
    - Corporate synergies between ABC and Marvel et all, the show being a huge promotional platform for Marvel etc etc.
    - It's the only thing remotely working on ABC's Tuesdays and it has one of the toughest situations of all the new dramas, having to lead from a low rated and incompatible show at 9pm.

    I may sound arrogant by stating it like this that Shield won't be cancelled but I just see no way of it happening.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Yeah next week will be decisive for Marry Me. Could be that it was just unlucky to have the second episode be the worst data point of the series (a la Chicago Fire back in season 1) but that sort of thing juts doesn't happen too often. We shall see how it progresseS

    ReplyDelete
  171. The sophomore bounces really are blighting it up, yes, and Blackish is also doing good business, but everything else just looks so meh. And I don't imagine The McHarthys changing the situation...

    Speaking of CBS, we can counter the argument of the sophmore bounces talking about a little show called The Millers. Though I suspect CBS will get its own sophmore bounce with Mom, so I guess that evens itself out.

    ReplyDelete
  172. I with the cw had premiered the 100 the day after the flash premiered. The Flash really didn't need the extra exposure after arrow.

    What are you expecting for the 100?

    ReplyDelete
  173. The Voice was severely down on Monday and reality shows have minimal timeshift gains so I am not sure that explains it.

    ReplyDelete
  174. This season has been holding up quite well despite all the talk though. Mondays are down 17% and Tuesdays are down 13%, and I would actually cut the Monday editions some slack since it's facing Big Bang which it didn't have to do last year. Yesterday's drop was down 21% year to year though which was a somehow steep decline.

    ReplyDelete
  175. I am so sad for AoS. It is so good. I think they should do an Arrow and do a bunch of break neck speed episodes. With the introduction of Scandal and the likes, it looks like viewers like the shows which gives you whiplash with twists and turns through out the episode. AoS is relatively calm for an action show. That might be the problem. I enjoyed last episode where May and Coulson went as spies but I was asking when are they going to reveal the secret of these carvings? There is not much movement there. They need to wrap up stories fast and open new mysteries.

    ReplyDelete
  176. If it does, it'll get a final 13 episodes season. Not too shaby, that's better than the CSI: Miami and CSI: NY treatment- cancelled with no resolution

    ReplyDelete
  177. TV world is the hardest among media; if a films ends up doing no money most of time they can stand as a self contained story. If a TV show is cancelled, there are big chances it ends up in a cliffhanger

    ReplyDelete
  178. If they want to improve Arrow and Flash's ratings even more they should cast Jensen Ackles as Hal Jordan on the TV Universe Jajaja Don't think he is a good actor, but SPN is a fanbase who would follow him everywhere xD


    I can't think of someone who Padalecki could play, but they should go for that jajaja Maybe Hawkman? xD

    ReplyDelete
  179. This season is actually insanely fast-paced compared to the first. If you watch yesterday's episode, which I just did, quite a few things move forward: Simmons being undercover (they actually went TOO fast with that IMO), Skye's dad, the secret carvings, and the unveiling of Mockingbird. If there was a way to get all the people who watched the pilot to watch an episode live now, the show would become an absolute smash hit. I think AoS has been irreversibly damaged in the ratings by the relatively weak first half of S1, which seems so unfair, because a lot of shows aren't that great at first. For the life of me I'll never understand how people are STILL watching stuff like Supernatural or Grey's Anatomy which is going in circles of the same storylines 10 years in, but won't give AoS the time of day.

    ReplyDelete
  180. It literally doubled its lead-in's ratings, I just don't know how it can be expected to do well with those stupid comedies leading into it. They need to premiere another action/adventure series targeting a young male audience in the 8pm slot. Right now AoS is suffering from not being compatible with almost anything on ABC's schedule.

    ReplyDelete
  181. Thank god for your comments on this topic, I need something to keep me calm about the show's future. Those AoS ratings are seriously depressing, it's like the numbers have the opposite trajectory to the quality of the show.


    I hope ABC considers the fact that AoS is literally doubling its lead-in's ratings, which is no mean feat even if you don't put that much stock in the importance of lead-ins. Also, when it comes to the whole ABC/Marvel synergy, I've read that the show is an important asset for Marvel simply because it keeps the MCU being "the talk of the day", as it is, in the long months that pass between one movie and the next. People are constantly theorizing about possible tie-ins and crossovers between the show and future Marvel films, so even if the show is nowhere near as profitable as said films, it helps keep the overall Marvel buzz going.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Overall viewers are completely meaningless except for bragging in the network's press releases. It's the 18-49 age group that advertisers pay for.

    ReplyDelete
  183. I can see anywhere between a .5-.8 right now. Airing after an Arrow original *should* be a better position than after an Arrow repeat, even with baseball. But it still could be hurt by the limited series bad vibes. Sleepy Hollow and Under the Dome couldn't even match the previous finales. Even comparable short run Scandal couldn't match it's first season finale even with a massive lead in. The Following and Resurrection did manage to do better, but they both received their best lead ins ever for that to happen.
    Sorry for rambling so much. I guess a .6, hoping for .8

    ReplyDelete
  184. Hey!!! Don't diss Grey's Anatomy!! I still watch it LOL. Its mindless fun.:)


    I agree. Season 2 is way superior to season 1. I am enjoying it very much. I loved all the new characters and Adrienne Padlecki as Mockingbird in last episode was awesome. The alien carvings started last season but it is still as much a mystery till yesterday's episode. I still think they should wrap up stories faster. I was disappointed by Jemma getting out of Hydra this soon. Some of my friends were put off by the season 1 ending with the way Garrett was put down and the meh way Coulson/Nick Fury confrontation was handled. They decided to leave the show after that. According to them in Arrow you feel there is actual danger where as in AoS you don't feel it.


    Personally I am loving AoS from the moment they made Ward a hydra agent. But I don't feel the connection to AoS characters as much as I feel with Arrow or The Flash except for Fitz. I think it's because we don't know anything about the back stories or families of any of the characters other than Ward (I was not a fan of Ward and his brother story). Even though there are serialized elements in AoS, it sometimes still feels like a procedural where we don't have to connect much with characters.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Thank you for this comment. It makes me happy. I don't like to invest too much into a show that might get cancelled. I like AoS very much.

    ReplyDelete
  186. No, what I meant was, how many episodes were ordered. Was it 13? 18? 22? The smaller the number, the easier it is to run them all, and, as we both are talking about, premiere something new in the spring. It could then still renew the show for next season if it wants to.
    Maybe, at the same time, Marry Me doesn't get the back nine.
    If this came to be, it could February and NBC might have no returning comedies on the air, except for Parks (and that kind of doesn't count all that much, since NBC isn't going to be terribly concerned about its placement). In other words, AAB, BJ, and AtZ aren't running. NBC is left with, what, UKS and One Big Happy? Mr. Robinson has 6 episodes.
    It would almost be as if NBC scrapped everything and was starting over.

    ReplyDelete
  187. I guess that's the main difference between us. I feel connected to all of the characters on AoS - even Hunter is a lot of fun - while the characters on Arrow feel generic to me. Even someone who is very likable, like Diggle, just doesn't get enough development as his own person, while AoS is doing a terrific job of giving each character his or her time in the spotlight. No one is left out. And Coulson is just a much, much more likable lead than Oliver to me. Even though SA's acting just keeps getting better and better (that "I don't want to die down here" moment in the end of 3x02 was absolutely devastating and powerful), every time I think Oliver is getting likable, he acts like a sanctimonious and hypocritical ass again.


    AoS being a procedural in the beginning definitely hurt it (the cases of the week were kind of boring), but since the Hydra reveal I feel it's been a full-on serial. Even the smaller stories they sometimes tell are connected to the big picture, like Absorbing Man in the first 2 episodes of this season.


    I do however agree about the point you made regarding Simmons, I wish she would've stayed undercover longer. There was more they could've done with that storyline, instead they had both moles busted in the same episode.

    ReplyDelete
  188. The best thing Arrow does is when a season ends its like an end of the chapter. So new viewers can easily jump on to the show in the beginning of the season. Its difficult for AoS to get new viewers as audience will have to watch lots of old episodes to get through the mythology and characters like deathlok, Raina etc. Hunter is the best new character imo. Hunter and mac just gelled with the cast. Coulson is okay for me. Not a huge fan. I loved him in movies as he was there in small doses. I am excited about Skye's father and her origins. To think Skye was the worst character for me last season.:)


    As long as AoS is not cancelled I will be happy. I am liking all the comic book shows and am glad they are not competing on the same slot.

    ReplyDelete
  189. I hope next week POI does better. It deserves higher than a 1.5 as it is a quality show.

    ReplyDelete
  190. It's a relief that The Flash and AoS aren't directly competing against each other - if we think the DC vs. Marvel wars are ugly now...


    I think Skye still isn't one of my favorites, but she has improved dramatically. I gained a lot of respect of her after the Ward fiasco - I was terrified that she would make excuses for him and defend him because OMG, she's in loooooove! However, from the second she found out the truth, she's put her morals before her hormones and displayed nothing but contempt for the guy. Gotta appreciate that.


    Overall, what frustrates me is that:
    1. AoS just seems like a show that attracts a lot more vocal hate than Arrow or The Flash. Everything AoS on the internet has tons of negative comments which I don't see for Arrow, and while I'm biased here, I think it's objective enough to say that BOTH shows have a lot of stuff to criticize so it's unfair that only AoS gets the heat.
    2. AoS keeps slipping and could end up in danger, while Arrow and The Flash are basically guaranteed 5 seasons. Okay, maybe it's a bit early to say that about The Flash, but imagine how much it would have to drop to cause concern. It could get renewed at half of its current numbers.

  191. I am surprised NCIS NOLA is skewing younger than its parent show! I guess they don't totally share their audience.

  193. I just don't see the appeal of NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans. I've tried watching a couple of their episodes and I just can't see why they get such high ratings. Leaves me cold. I think POI is vastly better....

  194. I started loving Skye when she said I just threw up in my mouth to Ward. She was awesome in that episode.


    Internet is the friend and enemy of these kind of shows. For Arrow internet is their friend and for AoS its their enemy. All these internet reviewers and critics are the reason for the fate of AoS. I have seen several reviewers and bloggers give scalding reviews to AoS after the 4 episode test they did in season 1. These people have lots of followers who take their opinion seriously. Is AoS considered to be an adult show or like OUaT it is a PG show? I think they should up the danger quotient and lower the humor in AoS like in episode 1. Lets hope AoS will stabilize after world series.
