Fox, on the flipside, dipped by 49 percent.

-Winners:
“The World Series,” Game 7 (Fox), “Survivor” (CBS), “Modern Family” (ABC), “Criminal Minds” (CBS)

-Honorable Mention:

Ratings Breakdown:
San Francisco’s victory over Kansas City on the seventh game of the 2014 World Series lifted Fox to a hefty (and rare) overnight Wednesday win. The final match-up averaged an approximate 14.5 rating/23 share in the overnight households in primetime, peaking in the 10:30 p.m. half-hour at a 17.3/28. Comparably, this was 16 percent above the 12.5/21 for Boston’s victory over St. Louis in the sixth (and final) match-up on the year-ago evening, and it was 59 percent above the 9.1/14 for game six on Tuesday. And that Tuesday game averaged 13.37 million viewers and a 3.5 rating/11 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data.

Despite the added competition, ABC, CBS and The CW were on par in the overnights from one week earlier (with NBC’s loss of 26 percent a result of repeat airings of “Law & Order: SVU” and “Chicago PD”). Veteran “Survivor” on CBS, which is merging the teams next week, scored a 5.8/ 9 (#2) in the overnights from 8-9 p.m., which was equal to both last week and the year-ago evening. This is a reality/competition that shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.

Next on the Eye net was another long-running entry, “Criminal Minds,” which rose to a 6.9/10 (#2) at 9 p.m., followed by just full season-renewed “Stalker” at a 5.2/ 8. Although “Stalker” increased by eight percent versus the 4.8/ 8 one week earlier, it was still down by 19 percent from year-ago time period occupant “CSI” (6.4/11 on 10/30/13).

ABC was virtually identical from one week earlier with its line-up of “The Middle” (#3t: 5.1/ 8), “The Goldbergs” (#4: 4.6/ 7), “Modern Family” (#2: 7.0/11), recent entry “Black-ish” (#3: 5.5/ 8) and the always quiet “Nashville” (#3: 3.9/ 6). Particularly positive for ABC remains “Black-ish,” which was 41 percent above failed “Super Fun Night” on the year-ago evening (3.9/ 6 out of a 5.2/ 8 for a repeat of “Modern Family”).

Elsewhere, older-skewing NBC drama “The Mysteries of Laura” earned its full season-renewal with a consistent 5.1/ 8 (#3) from 8-9 p.m., followed by encore telecasts of aforementioned “Law & Order: SVU” (#4: 3.0/ 4) and “Chicago PD” (#4: 2.9/ 5) from 9-11 p.m. The CW, meanwhile, has sprung what could be a leak in the Wednesday 9 p.m. hour as a result of “The 100” at a 1.1/ 2 at 9 p.m. (#5). Comparably, this was 42 percent below lead-in “Arrow” (#5: 1.9/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and 15 percent below failed year-ago occupant “The Tomorrow People” (1.3/ 2 on 10/30/13). Last week, “The 100” opened its sophomore season with a 1.2/ 2 on Oct. 22, and that translated into 1.54 million viewers and a 0.5/ 1 among adults 18-49 (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.

  1. Good for Stalker & stable for Nashville

    ReplyDelete
  2. I really cannot deal with the 100 doing badly :/ I hope the demo goes in the other direction, regardless of how unlikely that is.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Hopefully this means Nashville is up from last week since its not classified as a 'loser' this week.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Good for the ABC lineup, CBS lineup, Mysteries Of Laura and the World Series.

    ReplyDelete
  5. While watching Arrow last night, I wondered why Diggle doesn't suit up. If he's seen he could be tied to Oliver. Or worse someone could go after his family. Why not wear sunglasses, grease paint or at least a hat...

    Doesn't look good for 100:(

    ReplyDelete
  6. I think it is just steady

    ReplyDelete
  7. Ah, I guess that's better than being down, so I'll take it.

    ReplyDelete
  8. It may have done the same 0.5, it dipped just one tenth in HH. Hopefully it will rise next week without the world series

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yeah I know but a 0.5 is not good, I wanted more. Daamn :/

    ReplyDelete
  10. I am really hoping once the world series has ended the 100 will do much better.

    ReplyDelete
  11. damnit 100...stabilize. You're too unique for theCW to end so soon!

    ReplyDelete
  12. The 100 hurts my heart. I'm realistic but I really, really hope it turns around.

    ReplyDelete
  13. What is happening with the 100?It's such a well written show!!

    ReplyDelete
  14. The 100 :( This show is SOOOO GOOD I will not manage to deal if this is cancelled :(

    ReplyDelete
  15. I hate when he says " full season-renewal".-

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thinking Arrow will get between 0.7 - 0.8. Since that was what it got last year. Not sure about the 100 since it didnt air last year against WS. And Chicago preemptions might have an impact on both.

    ReplyDelete
  17. The World Series was a good game too. I think it'll hit a 5.0 demo which would be great for Fox. I'm happy to see Laura stable. I think it'll have another 1.3 demo rating which would be great for the show.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I think it would do better on Mondays after TO. Arrow is not a good match for this sci-fi show.It would pull same 0.5 on Monday what would be perfectly fine. I think lead-in is not really working well for CW shows , probably because of younger audience. Young people tend to go online to discuss an episode after it ends and know for sure where the channel change buttom on their remote.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The100 skews more older then than Arrow.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Or younger then 18. Obviously lots of its viewers are outside of desired demo.

    ReplyDelete
  21. The 100 is male skewing like Arrow. It wouldn't be a good match with the lower rated and female skewing The Originals. Honestly, other than a post Flash slot, I don't think there is any better placement for The 100. Its competition is still quite easy I think. It pains me to say this as I adore the show but I can't think of good excuses, except for the World Series these two weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  22. But if they are out of the desired demo do the network really care about those numbers?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Dammit The 100 please go up. The 100 is too wonderful a show to go down because of bad numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  24. But the 100 is not compatible with TO at all,i think it will do even worse there!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Please stay steady The 100! Next week the baseball is over so all your male viewers will come back hopefully.

    ReplyDelete
  26. The 100 actually did well in male viewers last week. It's the female ones that didn't show up apparently.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Me too :( The Flash and The 100 are the best shows on the CW and I don't want to loose The 100. There's nothing like it on tv right now.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)October 30, 2014 at 2:54 PM

    World Series + pre-emption is my excuse for The 100! Hopefully it will go up next week :P It's such a well done show it deserves so much better.

    ReplyDelete
  29. That's another thing that bothers me. The 100 is so innovative for the CW, it's not compatible with any of them. I almost think it would do better following Supernatural but they are both 9pm shows. Arrow is the next best compatible but Wednesday's are proving to be a bitch for the CW. I honestly believe the show would do better on Mon/Tues nights.

    ReplyDelete
  30. The 100 is gonna be the cancelled cult show of the 2010s.
    It's rare to see such a great show nowadays, and it's rare to see a good show get cancelled in television as it is today.
    Unfortunately, this is The CW and they only keep the ones with the love octagons instead of intelligent shows such as this.

    ReplyDelete
  31. So likely the World Series not being on will make pretty much no difference.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)October 30, 2014 at 3:03 PM

    It's possible the female viewers didn't show up because the male viewers in the house were watching the world series :P

    ReplyDelete
  33. Well it might be that even more males would be watching if it wasn't for the World Series. I don't know how the show skewed last year since I didn't keep track of it by then so I cannot tell you exactly how many males it has lost since it has returned.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am still in denial over that possibility. The 100 is an amazing show, it cannot be cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  35. T100 is not comparable with anything on CW now.

    ReplyDelete
  36. True. We'll just have to see, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Arrow, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, The Flash all have better ratings than T100. Reign's ratings arent that far off T100's, neither are JTV's at the moment. Not seeing your point. CW are going to keep shows that make them money, they have decent ratings, are close to syndication and likely cheaper to make. If they dump T100 it will be because its ratings have been poor considering how far away from any kind of syndication it is and how much room they have on the schedule/how much they have in their budget once they have renewed the shows that deserve renewal more than it for various reasons.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Arrow 1.0, the 100 0.6 according to http://www.showbuzzdaily.com/articles/the-sked-wednesday-ratings-10-29-2014.html

    ReplyDelete
  39. That's great for both of them,. but they will both probably go down because of pre-emptions.

    ReplyDelete
  40. so obviously not affected by baseball then

    ReplyDelete
  41. yeah so not getting too excited.

    ReplyDelete
  42. both shows were preempted. We need to wait for finals to see a clearer picture.

    ReplyDelete
  43. CW doesn't have show doing well at 9pm (exept SPN). Every hit they've managed to launch is 8pm, all 9pms are dying slow death. I am sure there is a reason for that.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)October 30, 2014 at 3:13 PM

    Curse you pre-emptions for giving me false hope!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Awesome for the 100! I hope it doesn't adjust down

    ReplyDelete
  46. - ABC had a very strange night with the 9pm doing incredibly well (especially Blackish) and even Nashville doing okay, but The Middle falling a lot at 8pm. The Goldbergs continues to build strongly on the middle but it was also down a bit, though I think it's a direct result of the lead-in there.
    - Survivor and Minds did okayish for CBS but Stalker had a very ugly result, just thanking its probably undeserved backorder. Tying Nashville is yikes. And it probably should have increased sans PD (the same goes for Minds actually).
    - Laura is just there.
    - Those look ok results for the CW and certainly promising for non World Series future weeks but since there were preemptions I will wait for finals. Please gods of television, let the 100 not be adjusted down, though the likelihood of that happening is thin.

    ReplyDelete
  47. CBS is probably more affected by the World Series than th he other networks since their shows skew older male just like baseball does. I could be wrong though.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Where were they preempted? Fox carried baseball, no football was one. Who preempted them I wonder?

    ReplyDelete
  49. I guess Nyssa helps Arrow's ratings! I hope that means we'll see more of her!

    ReplyDelete
  50. OK so I was glad The 100 rose but I realize there were pre-emptions. I hope it does not adjust down.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Great for arrow and the 100!!!! And goid for nashville

    ReplyDelete
  52. Stalker ties Nashville. That's not very good. Maybe it will not get 22 episodes after all.

    ReplyDelete
  53. NBA Chicago Bulls vs New York Nicks.

  55. Arrow and The 100 was pre-empted in the #3 Market, Chicago for Basketball which is obviously inflating their preliminary number. Don't be surprised if they do down as much as three tenths in finals.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Just a suggestion, it would be better imo if half numbers are posted in the post as well. And also info abt pre-emptions so it's all comprehensive in one place together. Hope you consider it :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Does this mean Nashville will be adjusted down to a 1.4?

    ReplyDelete
  58. Both Criminal Minds and Stalker have a 65% women skew this season so far (last night's results not included), which means that 65% of their audience are females.The average skew for entertainment programs is 60% this season so that's an above average women skew.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Lack of promo. It was also preempted in a bunch of places last night. I think not started the season until Oct. 22 was a mistake too. All the other returning CW shows started much earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I guess Stalker shares more viewers with World Series than Nashville, so I guess it held up okay

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think (hope) the CW won't consider these ratings too much since the World Series is part of those big events on TV every year. Let's stay positive and promote the show as much as possible on social networks, I'm confident we'll get the ratings back to normal!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Both Arrow and The 100 are stable in their half-hours. Not sure if it means something. Crossing my fingers they will keep their numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  63. The 100's ratings are quite surprising so far :(!

    Let's boost its popularity through social networks guys! It has been proven that social networking can improve a show's ratings, so let's get it more popular!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Banged by Corey StollOctober 30, 2014 at 3:42 PM

    Goldbergs still building up 0.3 over The Middle.

    ReplyDelete
  65. So CW ratings are inflated *sigh*
    Stalker dropped after it got a back-order.

    ReplyDelete
  66. What does that mean?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Some markets aired football instead of usual programming so ratings are artificially higher and will likely drop when the final ratings come in

    ReplyDelete
  68. I cannot even conceive The 100 going down to a 0.3

    ReplyDelete
  69. That would be horrific.

    ReplyDelete
  70. NBC is inflated also. Preemptions in Portland.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Not nessicarily

    ReplyDelete
  72. Yeah, no way it's dropping that much.

    ReplyDelete
  73. characters...don't...make...the...effing.....ratings

    ReplyDelete
  74. fingers crossed for them not adjusting down

    ReplyDelete
  75. not so negative, I can't see it go down three tenths, one tenth maybe

    ReplyDelete
  76. I would guess more like they both go down 0.1

    ReplyDelete
  77. I think it could be higher then 0.1 because we are talking Chicago Bulls in the Chicago market.

    ReplyDelete
  78. I cant stand people claiming their show has been canceled for being too intelligent or being dumped in favour of shows about love triangles or whatever. Its obnoxious

    ReplyDelete
  79. Good for arrow at 1.0 In Demo.Besides the flash must shows and under 1 In Demo on the CW

    ReplyDelete
  80. I opened this article with half scared and then saw a 0.6 for The 100 which I thought was good until I read Marc categorising the show as a "Loser" and also the fact that it got pre-empted which means ratings will come down!! Le sigh! :(

    ReplyDelete
  81. I can see it go 0.2 since we already seen it on CW last week with Jane the Virgin. Going from a 0.7 in fast to a 0.5 in final ratings, when it was preempted.

    ReplyDelete
  82. It was pre-empted, so it will probably adjust downn like it normaly does.
    Normally between 0.1-0.3

    ReplyDelete
  83. Preemptions so down adjustments are likley

    ReplyDelete
  84. I wonder if that's what happened to "Jane the Virgin" on Monday, too (0.4).

    ReplyDelete
  85. I would love a The 100/SPN pairing. The 100 is no more violent than TVD and TO, each airing at 8 pm.

    Speaking of 'Family suitable programming' I don't see why The CW doesn't swap timeslots now (or within the next few episodes) of Jane the Virgin and TO now that The CW used TO as established show to prop up newbie.

    ReplyDelete
  86. true, we're talking two different sets of shows in two completely different timeslots here


    JtV is led in by a drama that is completely off tone for JtV and is not help in anyway and competes in the monday 9pm timeslot wich is rather different to The 100s position on wednesday nights.


    Tbh I don't know WHAT to think of theCWs ratings at this point, it has become fairly unpredictable

    ReplyDelete
  87. I love the new opener for The 100 - sort of Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones. I'm surprised that The CW would spend the considerable $$$ on a brand new intro if they weren't at all invested in The 100.

    ReplyDelete
  88. The Originals has same ratings as The 100 and it has less views

    ReplyDelete
  89. I think JTV is slipping and be finished after this season.

    Well the 100 is not really grabing up the young male demo Arrow can provide, and its even worse in the female demo. Last week Arrow managed to get a 0.7 in the 18-34 female demo, The 100 got a really bad 0.2. So i dont know why it is underperfoming in such a manor. The Flash is another good male skewed show but i dont think the 100 would survive against SHIELD.

    The preemptions for Wednesday nite are very tricky. Because both shows didnt air at all yesterday. So the Chicago market is most likely a bust. So i can see them adjust down more then usual. Just picked the JTV example since it was the last show i remembered that adjusted down 0.2 after it was preempted in previous weeks.

    ReplyDelete
  90. 100 is awful...deserves to die. The Tomorrow People was better written; CW went with the wrong show.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Shows aren't renwed or cancelled on "quality".TTP lost half it's audience,couldn't keep good ratings with a good Arrow leadin and didn't do well online,internationally & I heard it lost half it's sudience in UK too.It do well socially either.CW went with one that had higher ratings,did well in DVr,internationally,online & had critical acclaim and made money.Shows are cancelled or renewed based on if they're making enough money to justify keeping them or not.

  92. I am sorry for making this statement to all who enjoy the stalker, BUT it does my heart good that Stalker does absolutely nothing to improve the time over CSI. I hate that they moved CSI to Sunday to die. Ok my rant is finished and again I am sorry if i offended anyone

  93. The 100 had to compete with the World Series twice now, it is a huge thing in the US, my bet is it will go up next week. My concern rather is that new viewer have trouble getting into the show if they had not seen Season 1 first.
