Ratings Breakdown:
Due to election night updates and coverage on the Big 3 networks in the 10 p.m. hour, all individual series overnight results for this first Tuesday in November are estimated.
In season-premiere news, “MasterChef Junior” on Fox opened its sophomore season with a third-place 3.7/ 6 in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m., which was an increase of a hefty 48 percent, on average, from year-ago comedies “Dads” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (2.5/ 4 each on 11/05/13). And it was 85 percent above the time period premiere for short-lived “Utopia” on Sept. 9 (2.0/ 3). Once again, Gordon Ramsay resonates on Fox.
With stronger lead-in support (and opposite a repeat of “NCIS: New Orleans” on CBS), Fox’s tired “New Girl” perked up a bit with a 2.6/ 5 at 9 p.m. But “The Mindy Project” dipped to a typical 2.0/ 3 (#4) at 9:30 p.m. Both comedies were on par with the year-ago evening.
Airing against an encore of “NCIS,” a clips edition NBC’s “The Voice” (subtitled “The Road to the Live Shows”) opened the evening on a dominant overnight note with a 6.2 rating/9 share in households from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, this is expected to top this atypical evening in adults 18-49 (and the other key young adult demographics). In the rare No. 2 spot was the aforementioned competing repeat of “NCIS” at a 5.9/ 9 (#2).
Next on NBC, episode four of sitcom “Marry Me” slid to a series-low 3.3/ 5 in the 9 p.m. half-hour (#2), which also resulted in the weakest overnight household rating, to-date, for sophomore lead-out “About A Boy” (#2: 2.8/ 4 at 9:30 p.m.). Opposite the pair was a repeat of CBS’ recently introduced “NCIS: Los Angeles” at a dominant 7.3/11, which built from the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in (and parent) “NCIS” (5.8/ 9) by 26 percent. While “NCIS: New Orleans” will never get the due credit it deserves, consider this a bona fide new hit.
ABC populated the 8 p.m. hour with two episodes of struggling comedy “Selfie,” which finished fourth in both half-hours with a 3.0/ 5 at 8 p.m. and a 2.5/ 4 at 8:30 p.m. And that 2.5/ 4 was a series low. Next on the alphabet net was 9 p.m. special “Marvel: 75 Years From Pulp to Pop!” at a not-so-special 2.5/ 4 (#3) from 9-10 p.m.
Election coverage on the Big 3 networks in the 10 p.m. hour – all approximate – fared as follows:
CBS: 3.4/ 6, ABC: 3.0/ 5, NBC: 2.6/ 4
The CW capped off this unusual evening with encore telecasts of “The Flash” (#5: 1.4/ 2) and veteran “Supernatural” (#5: 0.8/ 1).

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’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
