Today's Early Overnight Ratings

This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)

Tables being updated live. Please refresh for updates.


Early Ratings Analysis

The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)

For more information on the Nielsen Ratings see this Wikipedia Entry.

NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

Sunday 1/18/15 Metered Markets

Note: Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Tulsa are excluded from the following averages.

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 21.6/33
ABC 2.6/ 4
NBC 2.2/ 3
Fox 1.9/ 3

-Note: The percent change from the year-ago evening is not available.

———-

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 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. Keep in mind, as always, that results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

-Winners:
NFL Football: “AFC Championship” (CBS), “Scorpion” (CBS)

-Losers:
Everything else.

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was all about the NFL Football “AFC Championship” on CBS, of course, with the Indianapolis Colts at the New England Patriots at an estimated 25.1 rating/38 share in the household overnights for the 7-10 p.m. ET portion. The peak half-hour was a 27.4/32 at 8 p.m., and the results are estimated due to the live nature of the event. Keep in mind that the Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Tulsa markets were excluded from the averages.

Leading out of a 20.8/31 for the 9:30 p.m. portion of the game/post-game was a special Sunday 10-11 p.m. edition of already renewed CBS freshman drama “Scorpion” at an estimated 11.0/18.

Elsewhere, only ABC was bold enough to air all original programming opposite the “AFC Championship” and it cost them. Veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” opened with a 2.9/ 5 in the overnights from 7-8 p.m., followed by recent entry “Galavant” (#3: 2.2/ 3), sophomore “Resurrection” (#2: 2.5/ 4) and “Revenge” (#2: 3.0/ 5) from 8-11 p.m.

NBC populated this night of football with repeats of “Dateline” (#3: 2.8/ 5 from 7-8 p.m.) and 2011 theatrical “Bridesmaids” (2.1/ 3 from 8-11 p.m.). And Fox burned-off another episode of sitcom “Mulaney” (#2: 3.0/ 5 at 7 p.m.) into encore telecasts of “The Simpsons” (7:30 p.m.: #4, 1.9/ 3; 8 p.m.: #3: 2.0/ 3), “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (#4: 1.6/ 2), “Family Guy” (#4: 1.7/ 2) and “Bob’s Burgers” (#4: 1.8/ 2) from 7:30-10 p.m.

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 (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).

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 am really confused right now.

  2. I think next year ABC should simply air movies like ABC is doing here. Use the first Sunday of the month to premiere the bachelor since it is such a positive night for broadcasters (high PUT, low competition from cable and sports) but then stop and get back in the game in march only. Maybe an occasional bachelor special, but not more than that. Movies should be able to get high 0s or even cross a 1.0 every once in a while. It's better than sacrificing the shows like this.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Doesn't seem like Revenge hit a new low. Two weeks ago it had a 3.1 overnight. Fingers crossed.

    ReplyDelete
  4. How much did revenge fall?

    ReplyDelete
  5. That is what i thought as well

    ReplyDelete
  6. at least i'm hoping for a 0.9

    ReplyDelete
  7. What did it do last week?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I mean in HH

    ReplyDelete
  9. they didn't show its HH due to ratings delays

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oh okay right. How was the episode?

    ReplyDelete
  11. it was awesome! so much action

    ReplyDelete
  12. So great to hear. I will watch it tonight. Was it really rated tv-14?

    ReplyDelete
  13. yep. lots of violence

    ReplyDelete
  14. I will have a great night of tv!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. But the setup for the rest of the season is dumb. I won't spoil it for you though.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thx for not spoiling it. I want to be surprised! :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. We just have the overnights, I can never tell from those

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh yeah that's right!

    ReplyDelete
  19. 2.5 hh for resurrection is low

    ReplyDelete
  20. theres no room for Revenge to fall. if it falls even a tenth will seem like a lot, cause it will be down to a 0.7. fingers crossed that it will at least get a 0.9

    ReplyDelete
  21. I'm surprised it built from Galavant though maybe the game becoming a blowout around 9 helped. It was a close game until the 3rd quarter.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Both Revenge and Resurrection are doomed, so that's not an unbearable sacrifice, after all... Galavant already had little chance of renewal, too.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Something else I disagree with Berman on. "Only ABC was bold enough" Not bold, stupid, or arrogant. They have the common sense of inanimate objects. Not that I'm complaining, I don't like ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Revenge did the best of all three last night

    ReplyDelete
  25. not a fan of the solution either but think it is better than Malcolm black.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Resurrection is doomed. if abc hadn't aired Revenge in January then it would've had more chances of being renewed for a short final season

    ReplyDelete
  27. I still don't think there is need to do it this way. Also, they didn't actually know that the shows would be doomed when they planned the year like this.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Top 25 Market numbers have now been posted

    ReplyDelete
  29. Galavant just died, it seems :(. Unless it recovers next week with no NFC Championship it is certainly gone.

    ReplyDelete
  30. agreed ABC never learns

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yeah, but early scheduling is meant to be modified, if it's just woth doing it. Given the earlier collapse of R&R, this was simply not the case.

    ReplyDelete
  32. looks like Revenge did about the same as last week

    ReplyDelete
  33. I guess they are testing how Scorpion would do on Sunday's?


    Galavant is officially dead

    ReplyDelete
  34. The Following (2014): 4.4
    Hawaii Five-0 (2013): 3.5
    Hawaii Five-0 (2011): 5.6

    I don't actually remember what was the FOX lead out in 2012. Does anyone know?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I cannot see the top 25

    ReplyDelete
  36. They wanted to have it sampled by the NFC audience, which is huge

    ReplyDelete
  37. they aren't testing anything...

    ReplyDelete
  38. No, they just wanted to promote their hit new show behind the juggernaut AFC Championship,

    ReplyDelete
  39. it got a 1.0 in the top 25

    ReplyDelete
  40. I cannot see the table for some reason :/

    ReplyDelete
  41. Not as huge as it couldve been though. CBS had to be disappointed the game became a blowout.

    ReplyDelete
  42. No way Revenge would have been renewed for a shorter final season anyway, with low 1s at best and no syndication deal so far.

    ReplyDelete
  43. It's there, just refresh. I see 1.0 for your show.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Oh that's right... The only time I watch football is the Super Bowl so didn't realize

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh okay so probably 0.8

    ReplyDelete
  46. It surely is disappointing. Scorpion should have done at least 4s; it is a freshman, a prodecurial and a male skewing show, it had all the cards to have better retention

    ReplyDelete
  47. Wasn't the game over, at 10.00? I gues that's the main reason it didn't do (even) worse.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Looks like Revenge is leading the ABC line-up. HAHAHA.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yeah i see them now :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. ya but scorpion had a huge following after the game

    ReplyDelete
  51. Scorpion did not as high as i had expe4

    ReplyDelete
  52. I too expected Scorpion to do better.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I agree, this is disappointing. But maybe the game was a blowout? We need to see the 9h30 lead-in to judge its retention (and last night was all about retention)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Most Texas markets and Tulsa are excluded from these numbers for some reason. I wonder if that has a little to do with it? The game was a glorious blowout though and I watched every second of it.

    ReplyDelete
  55. It was a huge blowout.

    ReplyDelete
  56. And maybe there will be huge adjustments too. I remember when initially it was reported that New Girl got a 7.8 after the SB and then it got adjusted up to 11.4
    I don't expect such a massive adjustment, but something of the sort could happen for Scorpion. We'll have to wait and see

    ReplyDelete
  57. Two years ago Revenge hadn't collapsed and they still aired it there. Last year, I also didn't think Revenge had collapsed in the fall (though it wasn't a breakout either) but they still aired it there. They don't seem to be willing to change it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. It had, indeed. Still, nothing comparable to the game's ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Is it true that Revenge is going to be an extra episode for this season?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Possible, there could be huge adjustments to come too, so these top 25 look disappointing now, but we won't know for sure until later.
    But so far, a 3.1 out of a 15.2 look awful. 20% retention from a show that looked as the perfect lead out? That's gotta sting

    ReplyDelete
  61. Scorpion got hit on a couple of fronts - 1) the 10 pm start time was blow when the Seattle/GB game went to OT and NFL pushed back start time to 6:50; 2) the game was a complete and messy blow out. The audience was definitely dropping in fourth quarter; 3) the post-game presentation started after 10, so it was pretty much a washout for Scorpion. (And it was airing live in a time zones -because it had 8 p.m. start here in MT.)

    ReplyDelete
  62. Yes they will be having a clip show hyprid

    ReplyDelete
  63. ya but that extra episode is just going to be a clip

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yep, it is confirmed. It is said to be a clip episode hybrid

    ReplyDelete
  65. So it's not a real episode?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I usually watch Scorpion on Mondays...I didn't even know it was on last night. Likely a lot of other Scorpion fans didn't know either. As for Galavant, I love that show...I wish it was doing better. :(

    ReplyDelete
  67. I was referring to this year only, of course you might be right, and this could be just lazyness by the network, but trying AC and Galavant in January is something new, at least.

    ReplyDelete
  68. t's sad how ABC killed Galavant,. How can the expect the show to do good if ater the premiere goes agains an award show and then a big game.... And Revenge im used to those ratings at this point. Last year was teh same, going agains everything there was in january

    ReplyDelete
  69. ABC killed Galavant because they saw the final product. There's a reason why the doubled-up the episodes to clear it out as soon as possible. Plus, networks DO have to air something. Can't go dark because other network has something big. Better Galavant than OUAT, I believe most fans would say.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yeah you are right. What was The Following's preliminary from last year?

    ReplyDelete
  71. That's bad for Scorpian, right, considering the leadin?

    ReplyDelete
  72. Well it is far from being bad but it should have done better

    ReplyDelete
  73. The lead-in is misleading in this case. We need to see the 9h30 half hour numbers, not the average for the entire game.

    ReplyDelete
  74. The game was _supposed_ to be over at 10 - didn't actually get off the air until 10:30. If I hadn't had to review Scorpion before the next new episode tonight, I would NOT have waited...

    ReplyDelete
  75. Boy, did they pick the wrong episode to do that!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Why did they Order it to a series If they wanted it cancelled anyway

    ReplyDelete
  77. We really shouldn't use the retention metric like that in these events. Two reasons:
    1) Retention is a very tricky metric in these instances since there is always bound to exist a huge degree of rejection from people that only turn on the TV to watch the game
    2) If we still want retention in spite of this, we need to see the numbers from the game in the last half hour (ideally ta 9h59 actually) because those tend to make a huuuge difference. If the game is a blow out like it apparently was, the greater number will be on the first part of the game, whereas the later portion will be much lower - the overall average does not show that picture.

    ReplyDelete
  78. The game was a blowout and Scorpion started really late.

    All things considered it got a decent sampling, which was the entire point of the special poat-football episode.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Because it didn't even start until 10:30 - I wouldn't have waited for it if I hadn't had to get the review up before the next new episode tonight. Honestly, if stupid football is always going to run late, why not just deal with it and run a 1/2 hour comedy after it? It always baffles me.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Right. It started around 10;20-10:25 here. I watched the entire game, post game and Scorpion. I was absolutely glued to my TV last night. Loved it!

    ReplyDelete
  81. Yeah Scorpion must have started and ended really late on the east coast because it was still on past 11pm here in the Midwest.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Shame Scorpion not higher but def a victim of the NFC game being so good and OT causing a delay to the AFL game, and then the AFL game being an utter blowout, and then not airing Scorpion until 10.30, 30 mins after the game ended. Then again it did get the good slot so shouldn't complain too much, lol

    ReplyDelete
  83. at this point i don't think that we could really tell until they make the adjustments

    ReplyDelete
  84. That was the final. Were there no adjustments? Doesn't matter much anyway ;)

    ReplyDelete
  85. So it went from about 10:30-11:30 then? I wasn't paying attention because I was at a bar and after the game the bartender switched the channel to ESPN.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Lots of factors caused Scorpion to be lower than the Following was last year, but all in all I think it got a decent sampling.

    ReplyDelete
  87. http://www.spoilertv.com/2014/01/ratings-news-20th-january-2014.html

    Seems the prelims were a 4.4 as well. Half-hours were 6.7/3.6.

    ReplyDelete
  88. It ended around 11:20 here.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I looked it up; it seems FOX didn't have a lead out in 2012, the game just ran longer.
    Here is the post I found on TVBTN

    http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/01/24/sunday-final-ratings-undercover-boss-adjusted-up-pan-am-adusted-down-giants49ers/117320/

    ReplyDelete
  90. Been looking for them, but haven't found any preliminaries; it seems once released, The Following had its finals already

    http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2014/01/20/tv-ratings-sunday-the-following-returns-up-revenge-betrayal-down-as-nfc-championship-wins-big/230454/

    ReplyDelete
  91. You'll learn never to doubt a fellow mate ;)

    ReplyDelete
  92. Football wrecked everything

    ReplyDelete
  93. Thanks. I found out that FOX ordered the fast adjusted nationals for that night, hence the 4.4 we got right away. But those halves are preliminary I think. I don't have last year's final halves, but for instance two years ago, H50 had a 5.4 -> 2.7 in the prelims and became a much less drastic 4.4 (10:16-10:30) -> 3.2 (10:30-11:00) in finals.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I"ve never hoped for Netflix to save a show before, but I'm hoping for it to save Galavant now. Futile I know, but I just don't want to say goodbye to it now.

    ReplyDelete
  95. hopefully with the competition being over Revenge will at least get a 1.0 next week

    ReplyDelete
  96. Galavant: 0.9
    Resurrection: 0.7
    Revenge: 0.9


    Resurrection is poison.

    ReplyDelete
  97. NFL postgame (leading into Scorpion) got a 5.6

    ReplyDelete
  98. I am one of the rare people still watching Resurrection and it is actually a shame that the show that it is now didn't turn up right from the beginning. I've found this season, especially the later portion, infinitely better than season 1. I was never blown away with it last year like everyone was and almost stopped watching but for some strange reason I kept going and I am actually glad I did. It is not of my favorite shows but I ended up liking it quite a lot, I will miss it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. the game before it overran ending at around 6:40. There might have been post game coverage hence the gain.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I agree, season 2 is much better, shame people already gave up on it

    ReplyDelete
  101. Mulaney pull that rabbit of the hat that number. Surprised me as well.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Michelle Fairley character helped a lot I feel. She brings something new to the show and makes everything seem more tight and with a purpose.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Was never a show that interested me so...

    ReplyDelete
  104. Better for revenge than I expected :) over 4 million again! :)

    ReplyDelete
  105. I think it had great potential, but the slow pace didn't help it

    ReplyDelete
  106. My favorite character, by far

    ReplyDelete
  107. Full Ratings are now in the post.

    ReplyDelete
  108. ya i expected it to get like a 0.7-0.8. but i think with it being a 0.9 it will have a better chance next without all of the competition to get at least a 1.0

    ReplyDelete
  109. I wish it had hit at least 1, but hey! I'll take anything at this point

    ReplyDelete
  110. I agree with that and I've criticized the show a lot for it. But I feel it has improved. They've started having multiple storylines going per episode which means that even one storyline is more on slow pace mode, there is stuff happening on another one. And the story has really been evolving with revelations and stuff. It will never be a high paced show a la Scandal or Revenge, but it has improved on the pace I feel.

    ReplyDelete
  111. The blowout really didn't help Scorpion but I'm ok with those numbers coming out of the post game.

    ReplyDelete
  112. It will hit a 1.1 next week i am guessing but i never guessed it to rise against football

    ReplyDelete
  113. "yeah" for Revenge, up from last week

    ReplyDelete
  114. at least it will have a better chance in going above a 1 next week

    ReplyDelete
  115. Not even a series high for Scorpion? I expected at least that.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Yes and i cannot wait to see what people on TVBTN will say since they wanted it to Hit a 0.7

    ReplyDelete
  117. If it hits a 1.1 I'll be truly happy because that means there is a chance for it to bounce back up, even more with Secrets and Lies coming up in March, so here's hoping it actually helps Revenge snatch that final season renewal!
    Hope has somehow started returning :)

    ReplyDelete
  118. Same here, I'm actually surprised it didn't do better

    ReplyDelete
  119. For me as well and revenge actually did the best of all three last night on abc

    ReplyDelete
  120. It should adjust up in the finals when time zone adjusted ratings come in but still will be below The Following.

    ReplyDelete
  121. It should have done better.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I don't watch the show but I thought it will double its usual ratings

    ReplyDelete
  123. Soon ABC will be airing originals up against the Super Bowl -_-

    ReplyDelete
  124. don't give them ideas :(

    ReplyDelete
  125. "Abducted" has been my favorite episode since the season 3 finale, so now I truly believe there is a good reinvention for it coming up and that the show can hit some truly great beats so it can end amazing in season 5 - should that happen.

    ReplyDelete
  126. well its still a bad rating, but i think people at TVBTN are going to be like "no excuses for revenge cause it didn't exactly compete against the game"

    ReplyDelete
  127. Those people are crazy. You really should stop reading what they say.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Wow everything is really low except Football and Scorpion.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Its lead-in was a 5.6 post-game show (probably even lower at the end of the half-hour).

    ReplyDelete
  130. Yes but revenge, resurrection and Galavant will all not be airing then anymore :)

    ReplyDelete
  131. Well Fox and NBC aired Repeats, so no surprise there.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Agree; aside from going there to look what puns they make with the cancellation bear each week there's not much of a reason to return there

    ReplyDelete
  133. me too, even though a 0.9 is an awful rating. i'm still happy that it will have a better chance of rising above a 1 and hopefully with secrets and lies as a lead in, it will bounce back to its low ones again

    ReplyDelete
  134. Yeah. If it manages to be above 1, and even get to 1.2-1.3, the final season renewal may be still upon as.
    And yeah, 0.9 is an awful rating, only good on The CW, but in this week in particular it gives some hope for a comeback!

    ReplyDelete
  135. So frustrated by Galavant. Not that I watch the show or begrudge those who do, but it feels like this is the show that helped expedite the cancellation of The Neighbors, which I feel was unjust. ABC gave up on the possibility of a small syndication deal and a show with a small but loyal audience for a big budget, polarizing burn off that has no shot of making any money or getting to syndication. And it's not like Galavant was ever going to sell a lot of songs a'la Empire or Nashville, so what, did they do all of this to get one Emmy nomination that they're not even guaranteed right now? So stupid.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Scorpion:3.0 is an awesome number for Sunday night (total viewer is 10m, not match its rating imo), guess people are expecting more than this. And probably adjust down in final ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  137. That was about its TBBT premiere lead in, so it could have done a couple of tenths higher. Not to mention that I assume some of those were strangers to Scorpion and could have watched it after with its core audicence, so I'm still a bit surprised it is only low 3s, but it does make MUCH more sense than when it looked like it was doing a 3.1 out of a 15.2

    ReplyDelete
  138. this weeks episode was sooooo good. its one of the best this season, so i definitely expect a rise after this episode

    ReplyDelete
  139. There was a lead out in 2012: an episode of American Idol which I think did high 7's if I recall correctly. But yes, it aired past 11 PM EST...

    ReplyDelete
  140. It did a 3.0 out if a 5.6 post game show. At 10:20. So I'm not to heavily disappointed. If it had done a 3.0 at 10pm following a close game where the ratings for the game didn't drop in the last hour, it would be a different story.

    ReplyDelete
  141. The information I have is that it was an 30 minutes show.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Last year the Following got a 4.4...

    ReplyDelete
  143. Maybe that's why I haven't found any info on that, it aired after Prime Time. I'll check on that

    ReplyDelete
  144. It depends on what failsJanuary 19, 2015 at 4:21 PM

    Galavant tanked even worse, Ressurection sunk to the bottom and Revenge is still below 1.0, terrible night for ABC.


    Low for Scorpion given the lead-in.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I like to participate in the scheduling discussions that happen there, but that's about it.

  146. I think that would be Cristela. It was a failed pilot that airs when the Neighbors did and was a last second pickup as in a bundle with FOTB.

  147. Yep, we know as per the table :)

  148. To be fair, The Following's lead in was a 21.0 in the laft half our

  149. I find Revenge to be on top of its game creatively right now. It's just firing in all the right cylinders. This is a personal opinion and I know Season 4 hasn't worked for a lot of people but it just pains me to see the ratings like this. It is still one of my favorite hours of television, for sure.

  150. Really? Wow, that's terrible!

  151. Please do. I can only go by fuzzy memory lol.

  152. Aha didn't know that, thank you! But CBS only tried promoting Scorpion so rating doesn't matter to them:)

    ReplyDelete
  153. Disappointed by Scorpion's ratings.
    Galavant is so getting cancelled.

  154. It makes it look pretty bad in comparison

  155. usually the first season is the most important season when it comes to show. cause the first season is when a show is supposed to find its audience. its unfortunate that it had slow pace storytelling in its first season, which is why the audience left that fast.

    ReplyDelete
  156. That's why it's no surprise the Following hit a 1.4 last season.

    ReplyDelete
  157. It's funny. Well, we can say Revenge is ABC's number 1 show on Sunday for this week.

    ReplyDelete
  158. me too. but lets hope that it will go back to its low ones in spring after secrets and lies

  159. I'm watching the episode and it's like the writers heard some of our prayers

  160. these last few episodes in particular have been intense a lot of action. The pace has been really quick this season

  161. It depends on what failsJanuary 19, 2015 at 4:26 PM

    The NFC Championship ended after 6:45 PM/5:45 in the east coast/central time zone, probably some people stayed 15 minutes on fox and tuned in for Mulolney.


    Biggest if that no one cares abot of the year: will FOX burn ir off against the super bowl?

  162. Put it against the Blacklist. It will totally destroy it.

  163. Looks like it is true. American Idol did air an episode January 22 on 2012, which was a Sunday night. It scored a 7.9
    Thanks for noticing it! Now I was able to find it :D

    ReplyDelete
  164. crap! hope it stays at that 0.9, it's not great but still an improvement from the last episode

    ReplyDelete
  165. Not really when I just read above that The Following had a 4.4 out of a 21.0 lead in. As opposed to Scorpion with a 5.6 lead in and late start.

    ReplyDelete
  166. It was recently pointed out to mee that something aired after the game in 2012, American Idol, which got a 7.9. I had a hard time finding the number because it aired after prime time, but here it is

  167. I am not convinced Secrets and Lies itself will work but let's hope for the best.

  168. really hope it keeps that 0.9 in the finals

  169. Oh I remember now! Thanks!

  170. "Abducted" was perfection for me and I was a big season 4 doubter! I think the show really found the way to reinvigorate itself again. Now I believe Paul Lee when he says there are ways to reinvent it: the episode got me excited as I hasn't been for a long time!

    ReplyDelete
  171. Happy about that Scorpion rating. I know people probably expected higher, but given how the Patriots completely demolished the Colts, most people probably changed the channel sometime in the 3rd/4th quarter(like me). Considering that, a 3.0 is pretty solid.

    ReplyDelete
  172. It will not adjust down. When it hit a 1.5 its half hours were 1.5/1.4

    ReplyDelete
  173. The problem with the March argument is that (1) I have a lot of doubts about Secrets and Lies really finding an audience and (2) It will probably be too late by then for the writers to change the plan for the finale, whether it is a series or season one. My pet idea is actually that they renew it for an 8 episode final season to be used as TGIT bridge. But that's a long shot I think.



    Anyway, I am quite happy that you are liking the season more, I know you had your doubts, it's great to have you passionate about revenge again.

  175. The 1/2 hr's have no bearing on adjustments.

    ReplyDelete
  176. I had a similar idea to have Revenge renewed to be used as a bridge, only with 11 episodes to get it to 100 - maybe do a 2 hour season premiere and a 2 hour series finale? -, anyway, I know it's a long shot. Right now I think the writers should do something that serves both as a series finale and as a season finale, just like Chuck did every season.


    And no one's more happy than me to regain my passion about the show than me! I really missed that feeling of intense excitement that I had every time I finished an episode; last week's episode got close, but this week got me to truly feel it once again, and boy, was that awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  177. That blowout caused a massive drop in numbers for the AFC. A 13.6 in the first half hour to a 9.3 in the last half hour to a 5.6 post game. I'm even more ok with Scorpion's numbers now. I still watched Brady, Blount and company til the end.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Agreed. I'm not ecstatic about them but I'm not hugely disappointed. I didn't change the channel though. I kept watching.
