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)

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:
“The Bachelor” (ABC), “2 Broke Girls” (CBS), “Mike & Molly” (CBS), “Scorpion” (CBS), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Jane the Virgin” (CW), “State of Affairs” (NBC)

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS topped this second Monday in February, besting No. 2 NBC in the household overnights by 16 percent with its combination of “2 Broke Girls” (#2: 5.9 rating/9 share at 8 p.m.), “Mike & Molly” (#2: 6.0/ 9 at 8:30 p.m.), freshman hit drama “Scorpion” (#1: 7.6/12 at 9 p.m.) and successfully relocated “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#1: 6.5/11 at 10 p.m.). Comparably, “NCIS: Los Angeles” beat competing “Castle” on ABC (#2: 4.9/ 8) and failing freshman “State of Affairs” on NBC (#3: 3.0/ 5) by 33 percent and 117 percent, respectively. And it was 33 percent above failed year-ago time period occupant “Intelligence” (4.9/ 8 on 2/10/14), which featured former “Lost” star Josh Holloway and former “CSI” star Marg Helgenberger.
In the 8-10 p.m. battle of ABC’s “The Bachelor” (6.2/ 9) versus NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice” (3.8/ 6), “The Bachelor” held a significant 63 percent advantage. And “Celebrity Apprentice,” week-to-week, dipped by 28 percent in the household overnights. But keep in mind that the 8-9 p.m. telecast was a clip show. SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen the 9 p.m. episode and don’t want to know what happened, skip the rest of this paragraph. But this viewer, who is a diehard fan of “Celebrity Apprentice,” does not believe for one second that Vivica A. Jones would simply step away like that and admit Leeza Gibbons is a better player.
Elsewhere, demo friendly “Gotham” on Fox scored a typical 4.2/ 6 (#3) in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m. And it led into a diluted 2.6/ 4 for sophomore “Sleepy Hollow” from 9-10 p.m., which is 50-50 on renewal for a third season. As a reminder, season three of Kevin Bacon drama “The Following” will return to the Monday 9 p.m. hour on Fox on March 2.
The CW, meanwhile, was equal to one week earlier with its already renewed pairing of “The Originals” (#5: 1.2/ 2) and “Jane the Virgin” (#5: 1.0/ 2), which remains the freshman network series most worthy of a larger audience. How about it folks?

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.
