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)
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)

Impressive “Celebrity Apprentice” on NBC
Household
Rating/Share
CBS 7.0/11
ABC 5.4/ 8
NBC 4.4/ 7
Fox 3.7/ 6
CW 0.5/ 1
-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening – Monday 1/06/14:
CBS: +103, NBC: +57, Fox: +23, ABC: -10, CW: -17
———-
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:
“2 Broke Girls” (CBS), “Mike & Molly” (CBS), “The Bachelor” (ABC), “Celebrity Apprentice” (NBC), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
“State of Affairs” (NBC)
———-
Ratings Breakdown:
CBS led this first Monday in January, besting No. 2 ABC by 30 percent in the household overnights with its line-up of “2 Broke Girls” (6.1 rating/9 share), compatible “Mike & Molly” (6.2/ 9), freshman hit “Scorpion” (7.7/12) and “NCIS: Los Angeles” (7.1/12), which was 122 percent above failed year-ago occupant “Hostages” (3.2/ 5 on 1/06/14). Each of the four Eye net series finished first in their time periods.
But the more interesting story, actually, was the season-premiere of “The Bachelor” on ABC versus the time period premiere of “Celebrity Apprentice” (two episodes) on NBC. Head-to-head, “The Bachelor” had the overnight advantage, with a 5.4/ 8 from 8-10 p.m. (and a 5.4/ 8 as well for this expanded edition from 8-11 p.m.). Comparably, however, that was only eight percent above the 5.0/ 8 for the two episodes, on average, for “Celebrity Apprentice.” And “Celebrity Apprentice” built by eight percent from its 4.7/ 7 return this past Sunday, and that translated into a very sufficient 6.79 million viewers and 2.4 rating/7 share among adults 18-49 (based on the fast affiliate data).
While still certainly an option, “The Bachelor” slipped by 10 percent from the 6.0/10 in the overnights for the year-ago season-opener (which translated into 8.65 million viewers and a 2.7 rating/7 share among adults 18-49, based on the live plus same day data). Stay tuned for the demographic results, which should result in a close race between the two.
Despite the solid lead-in support, NBC’s freshman “State of Affairs” dipped to a distant third-place 3.1/ 5 from 10-11 p.m., which held only 60 percent of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Celebrity Apprentice” (5.2/ 8). Tick, tock…the cancellation clock is ticking.
Elsewhere, Fox’s demo friendly “Gotham” scored a typical 4.7/ 7 in the overnights at 8 p.m. (#4), which was 12 percent above failed year-ago occupant “Almost Human” (4.2/ 6 on 1/06/14). But “Sleepy Hollow,” which is suffering from a sophomore slump, sunk to a 2.7/ 4 at 9 p.m. (#4).
The CW capped off the night with encore telecasts of “The Originals” (#5: 0.6/ 1) and critically acclaimed “Jane the Virgin” (#5: 0.5/ 1), which is up for two Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. To chime in at our annual “Golden Globes” Pick’Em contest, click on the following: http://tinyurl.com/lkecpph

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.
