Metered Market Monday Ratings
CBS Leads; “Celebrity Apprentice” Vastly Improved on NBC
Monday 1/26/15
Household
Rating/Share
CBS 5.3/ 8
ABC 5.0/ 8
NBC 4.5/ 7
Fox 3.5/ 5
CW 1.2/ 2
-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 1/27/15:
CW: +33, NBC: + 7, Fox: – 3, ABC and CBS: – 7 each
———-
Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. These overnights are your first look at the ratings and a precursor to what could lie ahead. And we take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.
-Winners:
“Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials” (CBS), “The Bachelor” (ABC), “Celebrity Apprentice” (NBC)
-Losers:
“State of Affairs” (NBC)
———-
-Ratings Breakdown:
CBS led the Monday overnight troops, besting No. 2 ABC by three-tenths of a household rating point (or six percent). It opened with annual special “Super Bowl’s Greatest Commercials” at a 6.4 rating/9 share from 8-9 p.m., which topped the night. And it led into encore telecasts of dramas “Scorpion” (#2: 5.2/ 8) and “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#1: 4.4/ 7) from 9-11 p.m., which are perfectly compatible vehicles.
In the 8-10 p.m. battle of “The Bachelor” on ABC (5.8/ 9) versus “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC (4.9/ 7), “The Bachelor’s” overnight household advantage this week was 18 percent. But vastly improved “Celebrity Apprentice” was just one-tenth of a rating point from its season high on the night, with growth of a hefty 58 percent over two episodes of “Hollywood Game Night” on the year-ago evening (avg. 3.1/ 5 on 1/27/14). Let’s be honest, though…the only reason why Kenya Moore is still afloat is because she makes good reality television. The wrong person got fired in the second episode last night.
Leading out of “Celebrity Apprentice” was failing drama “State of Affairs” at a 3.6/ 6 (#2), which was 42 percent below the 6.2/10 for year-ago occupant “The Blacklist.” An encore of competing “Castle” on ABC finished third with a 3.4/ 6 at 10 p.m.
Elsewhere, Fox was at typical Monday overnight levels care of demo friendly “Gotham” (#4: 4.2/ 6) and sophomore “Sleepy Hollow” (#4: 2.9/ 4), which was 36 percent below the 4.5/ 7 for the season-premiere of drama “The Following” on the year-ago evening (4.5/ 7 on 1/27/14). And The CW was also at normal levels care of “The Originals” (#5: 1.3/ 2) and “Jane the Virgin” (#5: 1.1/ 2), which outdelivered year-ago Monday 9 p.m. occupant “Beauty and the Beast” (0.7/ 1 on 1/27/14) by 57 percent.

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.

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.
Marc didn't say anything special about his virgin! Ahah
ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, everything seems regular.
What was HH for Sleepy Hollow last week?
ReplyDeleteBoring night IMO!
ReplyDeleteIs a 1.1 HH enough for a 0.5-0.6 rating for Jane?
ReplyDeleteLast week was a 2.6/4. In fact, a 2.9/4 is the highest HH since November. Demos are hard to predict, but you are looking at probably a 1.5 or 1.6. I wish Marc had mentioned the increase.
ReplyDeleteHH dont tell us much about the demo ive seen a show have higher HH one week but in the end the demo was lower than the week before with lower HH
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find that i was look at TV Media Insights and nothing.
ReplyDeleteLook at the day before Monday's thread and one of the final pages, that's where Marc posts the analysis SpoilerTV re-posts.
ReplyDeleteI think NBC should swap Constantine and State of Affairs.Both are flops but Constantine could probably do better than SofA and it has 3 episodes left
ReplyDeleteNice bump for Gotham and SH in terms of HH ratings.
ReplyDeleteNot only rating wise, but also with the shows themselves. Sleepy Hollow is getting into my nerves by how boring it is becoming by the minute -_-
ReplyDeleteConsidering Jane did a 0.5 out of a 0.9 once, I can see a 0.6 coming
ReplyDeleteWhile I respect Marc's Celebrity Apprentice opinion, how was Kate Gosslin the wrong person fired? She had absolutely no leadership ability and couldn't even get two people back on time as the project manager? I'm surprised she lasted this long. She wasn't a good player.
ReplyDeleteIan and Leeza are by far the standouts. They get how to play this game.
BatB is the only show in the Universe that can get oulined by JTV. Let her be Marc.
ReplyDeleteGlad the Originals held steady. Would be fine if it gets back to 0.7s
Marc did, He said typical. I'm not sure where you got 2.6/4, but it's even in HH from last week.
ReplyDeleteFOX wants it to become a procedural.
ReplyDeleteTime to bail.
That's the problem, they have bailed. It hit a 1.3 last week. FOX is trying to save a sinking ship and if HH's are any indication, it's not working.
ReplyDeleteActually it's not. Last week was a 2.6/4 as confirmed also by zap2it. I'm not sure where you got the 2.9/4 but please link to it.
ReplyDeleteI'd expect SH and JtV to go up a bit as they were against a Scorpion repeat
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed!
ReplyDeleteI am betting Leeza will take it all
The final results on TVMediaInsights, posted a day later (not by Marc).
ReplyDeleteIKR monday is the only day i do not watch anything. I dropped gotham starting this week because i found it boring and way too procedural. We need more serialized!
ReplyDeleteActually, you made that completely up. Marc doesn't post HH results in his final totals. Your source is wrong, period. (As confirmed by Dan in this thread). No worries, it happens to us all. The HH last week was 2.6/4.
ReplyDeleteOf course he doesn't. Someone else does. Please read back. I think you are just arguing at this point.
ReplyDeleteFrom Zap2it (Jan 20TH)
ReplyDelete9 p.m.
CBS: "Scorpion" (12 million, 7.4/12)
ABC: "The Bachelor" (7.45 million, 4.9/8)
NBC: "The Celebrity Apprentice" (6.5 million, 4.1/6)
FOX: "Sleepy Hollow" (4.2 million, 2.6/4)
The CW: "Jane the Virgin" (1.4 million, 0.9/1)
Once viewers are gone there gone
ReplyDeleteFOX needs to realize that
And like I wrote before, it's wrong. Zap2it took preliminary ratings, not the finals.
ReplyDelete36% decline was from the premiere of The Following.
ReplyDeleteActually, there was no error in the tabulations per Rick Porter (the author of the article) nor later correction on the zap2it website. Your "incorrect error" is not supported nor evidenced in documentation.
ReplyDeleteWrong check here http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/sleepy-hollow-season-two-ratings-33996/
ReplyDeleteSure it is. Look back. Go to the Monday thread. You'll see it. Forum rules is that outside links aren't allowed. But honestly, it's a 0.3 HH difference. The fact that this is a discussion is pointless. If you want to believe it was a 2.6/4, so be it. At the end of the day, Marc wrote typical for a reason. He did address it. You missed that point and that was the reason for writing in the first place.
ReplyDeleteThat's who I am thinking will win also. With Ian in second.
ReplyDeleteYou are severely confused, I think. Marc didn't write a metered market report last week. Nor in the Monday thread. Which is why it was not reprinted here. I get it, you made a mistake. I wrote the actual metered results. I agree though for some reason you can't seem to let it go and insist you are right. As I said before, this is starting to sound more like #showtrolling than actual discussion so I'm out. Believe what you want.
ReplyDeleteWhile The Originals dropped 30 percent in demo(0.63 vs 0.90) its holding well on Mondays.It certain earned its renewal
ReplyDeleteOverall, I agree. There are ways to bring viewers back, but it would involve significant recasting. I'm not sure how they could recast the two leads and have the same show.
ReplyDeleteI actually like the leads.Producers chose to show more procedural episodes(I just watched Heartless episode perfectly even though I didnt watch 2 episodes before),Thats their fault.FOX says it will become procedural.It IS already procedural heavy.
ReplyDeleteMy post was in response to XYZ saying that it was a 36% decline this week from last week which was not the case. Not sure what you are talking about.'36 percent below the 4.5/ 7 for the season-premiere of drama “The Following” on the year-ago evening '
ReplyDeleteI think The Originals' problem was the extreme drops it went through last Spring, not the Monday move. It has managed to hold on pretty close to the level it had settled last spring on Tuesdays actually.
ReplyDeleteThat's very ironic. People bailed on Fringe cause of how serialized it gotten but now people seem to be bailing on SH cause of how procedural it gotten. Lesson learned? If it's not broke, don't fix it.
ReplyDeleteMonday's would be a better fit for the show. since there's more people at home early in the week than Friday. SOA was doomed from conception
ReplyDelete"Jane, once you get the endorsement from Marc, you can never get it back!"
ReplyDeleteKate should have been gone a long time ago. In addition to leadership problems, she was absolutely clueless on every task. The only thing she did well was set other people up in the boardroom and it worked for a while because they did not defend themselves well or did not want to play the game at all.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance.
Absolutely agree with you on Leeza but Ian is a putz. Leeza was absolutely on the money with that viral video task about the brand messaging. The only reason why they won that task is because the other team missed the point of the task so badly and failed to create a viral video.
JTV .6
ReplyDeleteGotham 2.1
ReplyDeleteSh 1.4
TO- .7
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteHas Gotham leveled out at low 2s? It seemed like people came back to the winter premiere then left.
ReplyDeleteCA- 1.8/1.9
ReplyDeleteBachelor - 2.2/2.3
SofA 1.0
Series low for Gotham.
ReplyDeletejtv and to seem high was there are preempt on the cw last night? maybe in new york due to the "storm"
ReplyDeleteWinners: The Bachelor, Celebrity Apprentice, The Originals, Jane the Virgin, Scorpion (R), Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials
ReplyDeleteMeh: Gotham
Losers: Sleepy Hollow, State of Affairs
Was the CW preempted? Those are very good numbers for both shows
Half hours?
ReplyDeleteGotham and Sleepy Hollow are both concerning. This is low for both.
ReplyDeleteWill Gotham enter the 1s when The Voice/ DWTS returns ?
ReplyDeleteI think it will hit under a 2.0 before it happens. It's not looking great. And it's why I wrote before, X-Men is not needed right now. They have to stabilize Gotham first.
ReplyDeleteI do Not even care. I dropped the show starting last week because IMO it is really boring
ReplyDeleteJTV and TO doing good! i like it!
ReplyDeleteABC wastes a strong Bachelor lead-in on a repeat of Castle which came last in its timeslot. Such great scheduling there.
ReplyDeleteGreat analysis. I agree.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that I would add is FOX is looking really weak on Mondays. How are they going to fix it?
Those seem like season high in viewers for both CW shows. There could have been some pre-emptions though.
ReplyDeleteGreat for The Originals! Another season high!
ReplyDeleteMarc is going to be tempted to label it a winner ;)
ReplyDeleteWith The Following return it won't be better
ReplyDeleteThey have to air Castle repeats at some point in the season since there are not enough originals to cover the entire year and they are better off saving most of them for post DWTS since Castle makes a better use of that audience for compatibility.
ReplyDeleteI like the show and I've been enjoying the later episodes more than the fall ones. But the problem is that the show doesn't know what it wants to be. I feel like it tries too much on various areas so the result is that while never bad on any of them, isn't particularly exception on one of them either. I still find it okay though.
ReplyDeleteIf you're not a fan of that world, then of course you'll find it boring. Why bother even watching it unless you're a fan of DC's Gotham world?
ReplyDeleteGotham is still very solid. It is still considerably above the league average and is a self starter against tough competition. It also has a great male following which I am sure FOX monetarizes somehow. Also, since FOX was smart enough to extend its order, it won't have a big hiatus a la Sleepy Hollow so chances are it holds better in Season 2.
ReplyDeleteAs for the 9pm hour, Minority Report is all but confirmed for the slot.
I watch arrow and the flash so i like DC but IMO gotham is very weal
ReplyDeleteI said DC's Gotham world. The CW's DC shows are very different- more aimed towards the kind of crowd that watches the CW.
ReplyDeletePending adjustments and unrounded numbers, this was the CW's highest rated Monday of the season, averaging a 0.68. The previous high was a 0.62 for Week 4, when the virgin premiered.
ReplyDeleteYep, exactly
ReplyDeleteI hope it holds in finals. Haven't watched last night's episode yet but I thought the winter premiere from last week was great so the rise is deserved.
ReplyDeleteThe Following only needs to hit about a 1.4 to show better than Sleepy Hollow due to the fact that viewership tends to do better in the Spring. So it is a very low bar for The Following. It it can't get close to a 1.4, then it's future is limited.
ReplyDeleteGood for Tzo,Jane.Lets see if it holds
ReplyDeleteTO ratings have been steady..great.Gotham pretty good in demo.
ReplyDeleteGotham is a series low.
ReplyDeleteHeard this same thing months ago when it was fluctuating. So many people said it would already be in the 1's, yet that's still not the case. We'll have to see if it bounces back next week. As for what the numbers will be when The Voice and DWTS return, you can never underestimate America's love affair with crappy reality shows.
ReplyDeleteDoes that have anything to do with the storms?
ReplyDeleteThey only aired that ep of Scorpion a couple mths ago, yet 8.5m peeps still tuned into it again!
ReplyDeleteYup. The show seems to resonate with people.
ReplyDeleteNo idea, sorry. We'll have to wait for tonights final adjusted ratings to see if there were any known/major adjustments/pre-emptions etc

The genius stuff is totally ridic half the time but its mindless fun and I find myself rooting for all the characters. plus it usually has a super cute ending each ep, lol
ReplyDeleteCould not disagree more stringently. Sleepy Hollow is a wonderful balance of funny lines, fantasy, adventure,and good characters. My biggest laughs of the week usually come from Ichabod's comments. I do not recall ever being bored watching it, unlike yourself. Hope you find yourself something worthy of your attention.
ReplyDeleteTrue. The plot of the week barely keeps my attention. It's the connections between the characters that I love.
ReplyDeleteBetter than last week Sleepy but still sucks
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of bothered by the undeserved 0.7/0.6 that Jane got.
ReplyDeleteNothing personal to the fans, I just don't want it to make my favourite shows look bad.
prob wont last for either apparently some cw station showed sports event last night and then "There were several pre-emptions in northeastern markets due to breaking weather alerts. Expect adjustments." from tvbythenumbers
ReplyDeleteSleepy Hollow, see the ratings went up but that still doesn't help any. Though last night's episode was an improvant, there was still a lot that needed fixing, and it wasn't all fixed in that episode. Sigh...but i'll keep hope alive.
ReplyDeletelol...realised ...thx
ReplyDeleteLast two episodes of Gotham have been really good...
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for you, wish I could see it through your eyes, but the latest storylines and character treatment have done nothing but bore me to death :(
ReplyDeleteHope you find something you like in the upcoming new shows.
ReplyDelete
