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’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
Good for a H50 repeat wow! Well it is one of the best episodes they did the Pearl Harbour episode :D
ReplyDeleteAnd Glee just can't get good numbers
Wow at Dixie. The CW really should renew it even if it is for summer. Also, those are insane repeat numbers for the ABC comedies and the CBS procedurals.
ReplyDeleteGood numbers for HoD especially for a friday.
ReplyDeleteWoah Dixie its doing better and that too on a Friday! The messengers has hope!
ReplyDeleteGood for HoD!!
ReplyDeleteCan HoD be renewed or it's dead despite good numbers for a Friday ?
ReplyDeleteA lot of people claim it is dead but I disagree. I think it has a fair shot.
ReplyDeleteIt's dead most probably.
ReplyDeleteWhat would be the point of denying it is the final season if it couldn't be renewed in case it pulled good numbers (as it is doing)?
ReplyDeleteWell deserved Dixies! I hope this HoD trend continues. The show is having a great 4th season, last nights episode is one of the best, probably since season 2 or even 1.
ReplyDeleteLooks like HoD is trying to make a case for renewal.
ReplyDeleteCW should pair HOD & BatB (S4) Summer 2016. Even with the supposed end from cast etc. With a pared down cast and a time jump, it could still work.
ReplyDeleteAnd Shark Tank is the #1 show despite being a repeat. A real beast.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say.CW has to cancel some shows to make room fit new ones and they renewed so many shows already but since CW wants more original year round programming and that some of its already renewed shows will have shorter episodes orders it's possible for a renewal.
ReplyDeleteAlso, very good for Glee to be holding steady at that 0.7 and congratulations at hart of Dixie for that 0.5.
ReplyDeleteReally well done.
Even with repeats ABC did amazing
ReplyDeleteIt's numbers were never great to begin with,so that's why they probably didn't bother mentioning it beforehand.Now,at least they can maintain their niche audience in hope of a summer renewal,otherwise they would've bailed too by now if this was confirmed to be a final season IMO.
ReplyDeleteConstantine's back at the 3.5M it was last got with Danse Vaudou (prior to the No back 9 announcement) but only jumped back to 0.9 again.....
ReplyDeleteThink the only possible issue is Wilson Bethel starring on the Astronaut Wives.
ReplyDeleteIf the show pulls 0,5s till the end and maybe even an 0,6 it can come back for another season.
Yeah Hart of Dixie
ReplyDelete0.6 for HoD is very unlikely.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, it is sad that Grimm didn't have any spike from decreased competition.
ReplyDeleteGreat for HOD
ReplyDeleteThat will only matter if both AW & HoD both get renewed.They filmed at different times and AW airs in summer so it wasn't a problem!perhaps if both shows get renewed they could do it again. & both get short episodes order.
ReplyDeleteI know but still, a fan can hope. But if it keeps pulling 0,5 from this point it could get renewed.

they may try to push for that magic no
ReplyDeletenot bad for Cristela encore and HoD
ReplyDeleteI know half hours don't count that much but yeah to Hart of Dixie for keeping that 0.5
ReplyDeleteDo not tell me Hart of Dixie just did the same demo as The 100...
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but I doubt anyone epcted it to do 0.5s after the horrible spring ratings -03s.I think Viewrs maybe coming back now that Zade are back together
ReplyDeleteCan everybody in the US watch the CW channel because it makes no sense that LMS is watched by almost 5 times as many people as HOD. I like LMS but it is a far inferior show.
ReplyDeleteIt did.
ReplyDeleteAnd on a Friday too.
ReplyDeleteZade was always endgame since season 2,i don't know why anyone even doubted that!
ReplyDeleteI do believe the CW has a distribution almost identical to the four other networks.
ReplyDeleteWell, there are extenuating factors. The 100 was going against more competition than Hart of Dixie.
ReplyDeleteI know but I know a lot of fans were upset about Wade cheating/Zade breajpkup in season two and then hated Joel in season three so they stopped watching,
ReplyDeleteBut the issue is HoD's renewal can't wait for AW to air. Especially if HoD will be moved to be an Summer show.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn EMPIRE and Modern Family...
ReplyDeleteHart at Jane the Virgin levels despite being left for dead on Fridays and the latter getting more than its fair share of promotion/buzz/network support. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hart of Dixie is on a night with lower viewing levels.
ReplyDeleteModern Family was a repeat. Regardless it went against Empire, Criminal Minds and SVU.
ReplyDeleteThat alone is around 6.7 in the demo.
does any body think cw renewed all shows to get shows syndicated before the tribunal????
ReplyDeleteAnd no lead in...
ReplyDeleteThat's really high for HoD, highest rating since season 2 I believe. If it keeps it, it will be renewed, even if it is for summer
ReplyDeleteIt's up against a show that gets 4.4!
ReplyDeletetrue
ReplyDeletePeople ran head over heels when Zoe dated Joel, even though I like him and the character overall.
ReplyDeleteFridays are always tricky and next week it could be an 0,3. You never now
Anyone know why Grimm has been low this seaon?
ReplyDeleteHoD is a fighter
ReplyDeleteAnd the 100 went against a combined drama of 7.7.
ReplyDeleteBoth shows performed really well.
It got an 0.5 last Jan
ReplyDeleteI never considered that pair to last for long!Come on-joel and wade,there's no comparison.The guy never had any chance to begin with!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It wouldn't be right to cancel Hart of Dixie which is capable of garnering a .5 demo on Friday night but keep Reign which only can muster a .4 demo on Thursday night after The Vampire Diaries.
ReplyDeleteReign has also gotten three 0.5s and VD ratings aren't that great anymore
ReplyDeleteI have no idea but I imagine it's more of a visual shock. Grimm isn't down all that much y2y. The numbers just went from mid 1's to low 1's, hence, why we find it low. I think.
ReplyDeleteOMG Dixie got a 9.5!!??Awesome!!!It tied Jane & The 100 on Fri without the big leadin.I hope Czw renews it.Glee steady as a rock.
ReplyDeletePeople didn't like Nick losing his powers and trubel character has also gotten mixed reviews from fans.
ReplyDeleteThere's been a lot of social media complaints about the direction of the series. I think that has a lot to do with it.
ReplyDeleteA bloody 9.5? Bloddy hell!
ReplyDelete9.5 is quite a lot :p
ReplyDeleteNoted it! Still, pretty great for a show that usually does 0.4-0.3s
ReplyDeleteThe CW: Making Empire look bad
ReplyDeleteEdit that before any one gets a heart-attack!LOL!
ReplyDeleteLok. Yes it is.sorry,typo
ReplyDeleteCW: Wrecking Broadcasts Shows from Day One.
ReplyDeleteI thinks that's a definite possibilty,
ReplyDeleteCW: We are bigger than Netflix
ReplyDeleteCW: We Bigger than the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteI didn't like it but he had his reasons,however foolish that may be.Maybe i'm biased towards his character or abs!LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd Glee was funny last night. I will miss Jane Lynch playing Sue Sylvester and her sidekick Becky. I found myself laughing out loud several times, much more than I do for comedies on NBC.
ReplyDeleteThis episode was only down 4% year to year which is very reasonable. Overall, the season is down 12% which is just a bit above the league average drop - in other words, it is doing essentially the same as last year once you account for the overall decline. And NBC's drama scripted average is overall weaker, so the show is even better positioned than last year.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize there were still comedies airing on NBC.
ReplyDeleteNow, honestly, I've dropped Glee midway through season 4 and haven't looked back since.
The problem is the 0.9 in ratings, we need to keep it above 1 consistently, which isn't happening. :(
ReplyDeleteHow is NBC's drama scripted average?
ReplyDeletei became frustruated when most of the comedy bits were focused on obama.
ReplyDeleteI liked the security he gave Zoe. Just what she was missing with Wade. He was a rock and was confident in himself and his love. He really was what Zoe needed at that point.
ReplyDeleteHis departure was terribly handled, he should come back and sweep AB away.
Already did.lol.
ReplyDeletegood cuz i was stoarting to sound like a conspiracy theorist :-)
ReplyDeleteThe 100 had 0.6/0.6 this week and it adjusted down to a 0.5. Which was quite disappointing, but it happens.
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't been watching Glee regularly. I think I stopped for a period as well somewhere in season 4. But I always come back to it because I still like the characters and the uniqueness of it. I just thought better writing was needed. I saw the Cory episodes and watched a bit of Rachel in New York. But so far I've seen every episode this season. And it is better than 4 and 5 so far.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying for sure that's what they're doing, but it's possible they're trying to get thier syndicated & proper ending just in case ( shows with proper ending sell better in DVD,Netflux,syndication)
ReplyDeleteThe thing with those numbers are the percent of Elder people watching it.
ReplyDeleteThe demos aren't that far away "just" double. So plenty people judge it as a CW show etc etc. That for the huge discrepancy.
I'm really not interested in Glee anymore. The new kids from season 4 really turned me off of the show.
ReplyDeleteNon weighted numbers (meaning episodes count the same regardless they were last week or the first week of the season):
ReplyDelete- ABC Comedy: 1.89
- ABC Drama: 1.88
- ABC Reality: 1.64
- CBS Comedy: 2.45
- CBS Drama: 1.73
- CBS Reality: 1.81
- CW Drama: 0.78
- FOX Comedy: 1.75
- FOX Drama: 1.58
- FOX Reality: 1.61
- NBC Comedy: 1.05
- NBC Drama: 1.54
- NBC Reality: 2.54
Oh at ABC's comedy brand being stronger than ABC's dramas.
ReplyDeleteSo, ABC has the strongest drama slate; CBS, the comedy slate and NBC the reality slate (by your averages).
I liked Joel too
ReplyDeleteNOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese numbers come with a lot of caveats though. The main one is how influenced they are by the timeslots. For instance, ABC has comedies on Fridays and CBS doesn't so that average will always be hurt because of that. Same goes for NBC and CBS dramas.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see.
ReplyDeletesurprised as well, good enough numbers and close enough to 88 episodes to warrant at least a 12 episode renewal to reach the number
ReplyDeleteSeason average: 0.40 (in relation sophomore drama 100 has a 0.53 average and Reign got a 0.42. Both shows are sophomores while HoD is in its fourth season)
ReplyDeleteCurrent episode ammount: 76, episodes to reach syndication worthy numbers: 12
Shows style: one-off storyline episodes aka. perfect for syndication
Perfect odds for a fifth and final season
I know its probably safe, but I'm worried for Grimm, I really wish it would rise. This season has been great so far.
ReplyDeleteGreat chart. Do those numbers include repeats or only original episodes? ABC and to great extent NBC do not repeat most of dramas (ABC HTGAWM has been surpise consistent repeat). NBC rarely repeats CF/CPD. CBS usually repeats everything except for MS & TGW. (CSI has been exception because they ended up with 3 extra episodes because of late football.)
ReplyDeleteGrimm is fine, don't worry ;)
ReplyDeleteThese numbers are originals only.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Dixies! Hoping to catch up on this show someday but in the meantime, I hope these great numbers mean a renewal. I think it would pair very well in Summer with BatB.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
ReplyDeleteAfter all looks like #HOD will be renewed.. go go!!!
ReplyDeleteHoD is doing pretty good. I can see it being renew for Summer or another midseason run
ReplyDeleteConstantine got pretty good numbers last night.
ReplyDeleteI'll just be hoping for the best.
COME ON NBC!! Constantine is getting the viewers finally. #SaveConsantine
ReplyDeleteHopefully it could do both. Also if Daniel Gillies can pull double duty I'm sure WB could also.
ReplyDeletetrue, but he can do it next to HoD! That's what they said!
ReplyDeletenoo! Hart of Dixie
ReplyDeleteGood for HoD!! Hope it gets better!! Its a great show, Its back on track like S1 and 2.
ReplyDeleteS3 was horrible, only because of Zoes relationship with Joell took to long... People ran away
But now, the brilliant writing is back! Not only because of Zade. Hope it gets renewed, if only for a 10 episodes season again!
What"Nooo"? Are upset HoD got an 0.5 which is its highest demo in about a year,good for Fri& up from the previous two demos?
ReplyDeletelol then sorry yay then I messed up
ReplyDeleteIt's ok.I wasn't sure if you were upset HoD rose cause you're rooting for another unrenewed as yet Czw show or some other reason
ReplyDeleteI think "final seasons"are for shows that lasted five or more season were at time at least hits for the network-Smallville was a sucsess running 10 seasons and even on Fri still one of the highest rated shows.GG was a hit in ratings in early season & big in op culture plus ran for five season.Had GG been able to wrap up in season five,I'm not sure it would've gotten that sixth season.90210 was a hit in early season but didn't get an announced final season ahead of time.Nikita was sucsessful internationally I've heard & aPedowitz was a fan.HoD was never a hit for Czw,hasn't run for many seasons like SMV or SPN,Czw has never supported the show either.I think now it has a chance at renewal but also won't be shocked if HoD,BatB are quire toy unceremoniously cancelled in May.He probably didn't want to announce as the final season cause he didn't know if Reign would collapse in season two like BatB and didn't know how the new shows besides Flash -certain to be a hit-would do and there's still Messengers,IZombie to see ratings for before he decides.
ReplyDeleteyeah but Reign is in its 2ns season and should be doing much better with all the promotion it's getting than a 4th season friday show which never got any promotion or help from CW
ReplyDeleteWhy should it be dong much better?searluzed shows very rarely grow during thier run(Scandal is the only exception I know of),VD is decling in ratings,Thurs is one of the toughest night on tv with Reign gong against mega hits Scadal or Murder depending on your time zone ,Reign isn't getting lots of promotion-CW has only been promoting Fladh,Jane,TO,VD heavily,nothing has done well in the post VD slot,9/10 pm is the lowest rated hour of the night as its a heavy DVr & go to bed or catch up on DVr hour.Also, as I said,The 100 should be dong much better with all the reuns over summer& a couple last spring when it first started ( while Reign had one repat since season one ended).and having the Secind best leadin .VD is no longer the best leadin on the Neteork nor the highest rated show.That slot has been hard for CW for a while.The 100 is doing as badly as TTzp was with a higher rated Arrow this fall.Reign still retains more of Vzds audience than The 100does.Rein is at least doing better than Batzb did in season two.I agree HoD got no promotion or support from CW and don't disagree that Reigns 0.4-0.5 aren't great but ..
ReplyDeleteThe majority of CW's viewership comes from digital platforms, DVR, Netflix, Hulu, and also pirating, although that last one doesn't help anyone's situation. Considering The CW has three of the top 10 pirated shows in the world I think it's safe to say the Nielson ratings are nothing but a sick joke.
ReplyDeleteEspecially in today's world.
Perhaps we'll get that .1 bump next week.
ReplyDeleteThe only way I can handle watching Grimm any more is after the season is over. It's gotten far too tedious to keep up with on a weekly basis.
ReplyDeleteWhile Constantine might be getting canceled I am happy to see the slight increase.
ReplyDeletewell I hope it'll get renewed. Like : OUAT, Shield, Sleepy Hollow, Elementary & The Blacklist. I wish for all those renewed.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that this repeat of Hawaii Five-0 from December 13, 2013, had such high numbers in total viewers. (The total viewers were 9.13 million in its original broadcast.) Episode 4.10 "Hoʻonani Makuakane" ("Honor Thy Father") directed by Larry Teng is a historically important episode. Many scenes are recreations of Pearl Harbor and this episode discusses the Japanese-American internment camps in Hawaii during World War II. If anyone missed it or wants to watch it again it's available On Demand in many areas. It's a must-see episode. Get your box of tissues ready because you'll be crying by the end of the episode.
ReplyDeleteIt's not dead until the official cancellation. Pedowitz said he was waiting for the ratings.
ReplyDeleteBATB season 4? Really?? Its renewal for season 2 and 3 is a mystery.
ReplyDelete
