Tuesday 2/10/15

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 9.1/15
ABC 3.4/ 6
NBC 2.6/ 4
Fox 2.6/ 4
CW 2.1/ 3

Note: NBC aired the XXII Winter Olympics from Sochi on the year-ago evening.
CW: +250, CBS: +78, ABC: +55, Fox: +18, NBC: -82

———-

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:
“NCIS” (CBS), “The Flash” (CW), “NCIS: New Orleans” (CBS)

-Honorable Mention:
“Chicago Fire” (NBC)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Parks and Recreation” (NBC), “Marry Me” (NBC), “New Girl” (Fox), “About a Boy” (NBC), “The Mindy Project” (Fox)

———-

Ratings Breakdown:
Typically dominant CBS was well above the competition care of its combination of “NCIS” (#1 for the night: 11.4 rating/18 share), spin-off “NCIS: New Orleans” (9.6/15) and “Person of Interest” (6.2/11). All three led their time periods in the household overnights, but “Person of Interest” at 10 p.m. could ultimately trail NBC’s competing “Chicago Fire” (#2: 4.3/ 7) in adults 18-49 (and the other key demos). Stay tuned.

In week two news, episodes three and four of ABC sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat” lost steam from its time period protected two-episode debut last Wednesday (out of “The Middle” at 8:30 p.m. and “Modern Family” at 9:30 p.m.). That was expected. But both half-hours placed a respectable second in their time periods last night, with the regularly scheduled half-hour at a 4.5/ 7 at 8 p.m. (down by 18 percent from the 5.5/ 8 for the Wednesday 8:30 p.m. debut on Feb. 4) and a 4.1/ 6 at 8:30 p.m. (also down by 18 percent from the 9:30 p.m. telecast last Wednesday – 5.0/ 8). The two half-hours, on average, bested two episodes of competing “Parks and Recreation” on NBC (8 p.m. #5: 2.2/ 3; 8:30 p.m.: #5: 1.7/ 3) by an average of 121 percent. And they were only 14 percent, on average, below the 5.0/ 8 for a week-ago telecast of “Shark Tank” in the Tuesday 8 p.m. hour (5.0/ 8 on Feb. 3).

“Fresh Off the Boat,” additionally, was 25 percent, on average, above the series premieres of former failed time period occupants “Selfie” (3.7/ 6) and “Manhattan Love Story” (3.2/ 5) on 9/30/14. While certainly not spectacular last night, the best word to describe the Tuesday opening for “Fresh Off the Boat” is promising. Next Tuesday, comical reality half hour “Repeat After Me,” hosted by “The Goldbergs” star Wendi McLendon-Covey, debuts out of “Fresh Off the Boat” at 8:30 p.m.

Next on ABC was Tuesday 9-10 p.m. time period filler “Marvel’s Agent Carter” at a disappointing 2.8/ 4 (#2), which was on par from one week earlier. And freshman drama “Forever” capped off the night for the alphabet net with a third-place 3.3/ 6 at 10 p.m., which was 43 percent above failed year-ago time period occupant “Killer Women” (2.3/ 4 on 2/11/14).

Over at NBC, failing sitcom “Marry Me” is likely to get divorced with a series-low 1.7/ 3 in the household overnights in the 9 p.m. half-hour. And that led into a 1.9/ 3 (#3t) for equally disappointing – and also hiatus bound – “About a Boy” at 9:30 p.m. As a reminder, NBC sitcom “Undateable” will begin its second season on Tuesday, March 17 at 9 p.m. ET following “The Voice” and into new comedy “One Big Happy” at 9:30 p.m. ET from writer Liz Feldman and executive producer Ellen DeGeneres. And “Parks and Recreation” officially concludes with a one-hour episode on Feb. 24.

Worth positively noting for NBC’s aforementioned “Chicago Fire” at 10 p.m., meanwhile, was overnight growth of a hefty 126 percent out of “About a Boy” (4.3/ 7 vs. 1.9/ 3).

Elsewhere, “The Flash” on The CW remains the real deal at a fourth-place 2.7/ 4 from 8-9 p.m., which in the CW’s universe is a solid overnight performance. But veteran “Supernatural” dipped to a 1.4/ 2 from 9-10 p.m. (#5), which was a loss of a too significant 48 percent.

Fox capped off the night with always young adult demo friendly “MasterChef Junior” at a 3.3/ 5 from 8-9 p.m., which was eight percent below the 3.6/ 6 one week earlier. And it led into the tired combination of comedies “New Girl” (#3: 2.1/ 3), which dipped by 36 percent, and “The Mindy Project” (#3t, 1.9/ 3), which is likely to be picked-up for a fourth season because of the need for more episodes in off-network.

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.

  1. Oh wow SPN . Then again not too terribly surprised.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Agent Carter is steady.I dont understand how Forever can have much lower demo but bigger HH?

    ReplyDelete
  3. PoI went up. I'm hopeful for a 1.6.

    ReplyDelete
  4. FOTB will be probably about 1.6-1.8.Not bad for it.

    ReplyDelete
  5. What did Flash get last week?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I hope if the writers ever get their arses in gear that the ratings can recover.

    ReplyDelete
  7. k thanks. So it went up a little

    ReplyDelete
  8. ABC needs to switch Forever and Agent Carter until the return of AOS.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Glad for FOTB. I think it should be seeing Goodbergs S1-like numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Please no. I don't want it to fall to 1.2 near the season finale.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Why won't people watch Agent Carter? It breaks my heart ,really!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Its great considering its 3rd and 4th episode beat Selfie and MLS premieres.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Last week Arrow went down in HH and ended up at a non-crossover season high. The overnights are horrible indicators especially for the young skewing CW shows.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm talking its typical 1.4-1.7

    ReplyDelete
  15. Keep in mind that Selfie and MLS, while both clear failures, were up against the voice, by then still in its very high rated blind auditions phase, which is very formidable competition for any comedy.

    FOTB will certainly feel the impact of the voice when it arrives in two weeks so it really needs to settle at a level now that gives it enough of a buffer to fall by then.

    ReplyDelete
  16. That's not too much to ask for. Shoukd be in the mid 1s today. I believe Selfie premiered to a 1.4 and MLS a 1.1

    ReplyDelete
  17. Winners:NCIS,NCIS NO,Chicago Fire,FOTB,MasterChef Junior,The Flash
    Meh:Supernatural,POI,New Girl
    Losers:Marry Me,About a Boy,Agent Carter,Forever

    ReplyDelete
  18. *IF* being the word. I get we need filler EPS and everyone loves the bro love ~Weee~ but even for me that EP fell way below standard. And I'm one of the fans that defended the friggin' dog EP (s9 not s8 not going near that one with a 10 ft. Pole)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Of course the detractors will attribute to the back to basics approach :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Since you are here, I thought I'd let you know that CBS says that season 1 of Scorpion only has 22 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Glad The Flash rose a bit. It's an important time of the year and it should keep going strong.
    Seems like it is a good thing SPN will move to Wednesday.
    Glad Fresh of the boat and Carter did solid. Carter deserved much better cause it was another great episode.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You're basing this purely on the HH ratings? I'd wait till the demos come out to define the winners and losers.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 1.4 for Carter this week please! Even if s little I need this show to rise!
    I wish it was doing much better :(

    ReplyDelete
  24. Whoa, I didn't expect that! The show will be airing episode 17 at the end of February, so they will only have 5 episodes for 2 1/2 months? Also, Scorpion is doing great so it would be foolish not to order any additional episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Last week, people were asking me why I expected PoI to go up this week. People like to ignore hard evidence to support their opinion.

    I think from now on I need to post a pic/copy and paste saying this:

    PoI below 1.5 demo -> first episode back from preemption
    Week after first episode -> goes up

    It would be so much easier.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Overnights mean nothing for CW. 2 weeks go with 0.7 SPN was at 2.03 mil and 1.6 overnights. Last week with 1.5 overnights it was at 2.3 mil and 0.8. It was never indication of anything, at least for SPN.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Seems about right they. I wouldn't expect anything different.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The Flash - 1.4
    Supernatural - 0.8
    _______________
    Carter - 1.3
    Forever - 1.0
    _______________
    New Girl - 1.3
    TMP - 1.1
    _______________
    CF - 1.7

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm surprised, too. They ordered an extra episode for NCIS: NO, so why not Scorpion?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I really didn't expect that. They are crazy. At the end of February Sweeps they will have aired 18 episodes, which means they will only have 4 episodes to air in the remaining 3 months of the season!!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Thanks for the clarification in any case Babar!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think they will air 18 actually this month, no?

    ReplyDelete
  33. 2 episodes would be set aside for May sweeps, right? So that would mean 2 episodes in 8-9 weeks between March-April.

    ReplyDelete
  34. It will be back up for the Dean/Cain episode next week no doubt, spoilers are indicating the next 3/4 nepisodes are getting back to be all about Dean.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Are they airing another repeat during Sweeps? I know they did it last week but I assumed it was because of the special post football episode. CBS schedule is a mess.

    ReplyDelete
  36. As Andrew said Forever has more (older)viewers but not in the right age group!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I hope The Flash rose. Such a good episode.

    ReplyDelete
  38. They aired too many episodes in the fall. They should have capped out at 10.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I agree, but Agent Carter is meh not loser.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I kind of understand why they did it. The show was gathering momentum and they want to cut it short. I think it was somehow justified (maybe except for the very late December episode which was even after the Christmas episode so was probably meant for January). The stupidity is not having a 25 episode season.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Why there's so many detractors for PoI out of the blue? I never watched the show (well I don't watch any CBS show) but lately I have seen this show getting so much hate. Did it take another's show time slot or something?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Only one? Seems right though, I believe there will be one NCIS episode leading into miniseries The Dovekeepers so otherwise there will be a NOLA episode airing without an NCIS lead-in.

    I assume Madam Secretary is at 22, no extra episodes ordered?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Next week supernatural will rise

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yes, I think the Dovekepers is the reason why they have one less New Orleans episode.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I think it might me something budgetary in the CBS studios.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I honestly don't know why they are even airing currently. They had a bunch of eps in January.
    They should've spared the next 3 eps for march.

    ReplyDelete
  47. CBS doesn't seem to regard Sweeps that highly anymore. Last week they were content in ending Mom and Intelligence earlier. Even 2 Broke Girls didn't last until the end of May Sweeps I believe,neither did the Tuesday dramas.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Its too late now, they probably have all their scripts written by now. I am surprised people think they just can re-write something on a fly because viewers didn't fall in love with previous episode.
    But of course they can work harder next year.

    ReplyDelete
  49. NCIS has 24.
    22 for MS, yes.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Probably but it is strange why they are able to do it for some shows but not the others .The show is a repeats machine so you would think they would want to put as many episodes in that syndication package as soon as possible.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Do you know the comedies?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Pls SPN, don't fall below 0.8. Hello, new lower expectations :(

    ReplyDelete
  53. Not confirmed, but I think They all should be same as previous seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  54. They been skewing older this year. So I guess they will head into the 0.7 maybe. Hope im wrong though.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Cause the show's actually building a strong mythology arc, which they claim makes it hard to follow. Not to mention that this world building takes away time from the precious "save the number" stories from before, and is "not as intriguing as those". AND... a potential lack of screentime for the male leads, when there was a tally done which indicated otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  56. 1.4- Flash
    0.7- Supernatural

    ReplyDelete
  57. It's because it is Sweeps. Besides, I kind of think it is better to air more now than against the voice later on if that is the choice they have to make.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think you're right about that. CBS seems to be moving away from playing the 18-49 demo game. They look at 25-54 as their niche, but I think, more importantly, they're prepping for the subscription side of things where people buy live streaming, on demand, etc. so it's about the number of subscribers, not their ages.

    ReplyDelete
  59. This might be a strange question.. but would NBC be better off not doing comedies at all any more and just do Dramas. Their comedies rate so low. Am I missing something here?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Well, their fans aren't getting any younger; they're growing older with the show. So if younger new viewers aren't arriving as fast, the show will skew a little older. I think the show is doing great for its age.

    ReplyDelete
  61. *opens mouth* *realizes where I am* *shuts mouth* well at least it will pick up. The 17th EP since like what s7 for some reason has some sort of giant plot-twist to it. Along with pain. A lot of pain. So much pain. *starts building a fort of protection*

    ReplyDelete
  62. Never said they had to rewrite anything anywhere wasn't even the point????

    ReplyDelete
  63. Speaking of number of episodes, is there any way for you to find out how many episodes of Shark Tank will there be? (Cause they already aired 18). Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  64. Every day someone has a problem with Marc's reporting. Yes, doesn't always tell the truth about Virgins or 100 people, but he never actually lies when telling us the straight up numbers. Nevertheless, America is making our journalist be accountable for their credibility. So sorry Marc, we gotta suspend you for 6 months with no pay.

    ReplyDelete
  65. No idea, sorry. I don't really follow reality shows, but I'll try to look it up.

    ReplyDelete
  66. ugh, my poor Supernatural

    ReplyDelete
  67. Maybe the move with Arrow might help?

    ReplyDelete
  68. The writers are indicating some huge Dean related plot twist coming up and Jensen has been filming scenes with Rowena. Rumours are the episode 'Inside Man' will be about Dean trying to dupe Rowena or something? The only spoiler I've heard aboutany other character not named Dean is that Sam will leave Dean towards the end of the season and go off on his own to save Dean. I guess by then he wont have a choice either Dean will have gone 'dark' or Sam cant trust Dean to have his back and actually do something to get rid of the MOC which after last nights defeatest attitude I see that being a possibility. I hope to see Sam start to go off on his own more as the season draws to a close and more next season as it would allow both brothers to have a storyline and allow for the actors to have time off.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I dont know you never know if SPN/Arrow share more audience then Flash/SPN.

    ReplyDelete
  70. probably why they've been trying to give the show a more teen feel, with more teen actors, TeenDean, pop music, Dean behaving more like a teenager at times. They're trying to appeal to a younger audience.
    BTW I have noticed that Dean fans while many seem t be esither really young or really old, the heavy Dean centric episodes (though nearly all the episodes under Carver have been Dean centric)/the ones that look like they're going to be all about Dean go up in viewers but not in demo. Cas episodes seem to bring back more of the demo though.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I don't have a problem with Marc's reporting facts. I have a problem with his passive aggressive insults towards shows HE deems unworthy. He's an alleged journalist/editor who writes more like a fanboy with numbers. He can either be a critic or he can be an editor. He shouldn't try to combine the two when it only makes his petty behavior more obvious.
    Also, comparing Berman's childish commentary to Williams lying about an act of terror? Not really cool.

    ReplyDelete
  72. i think the min poi got a little more serialised show.ppl started disliking it. but imo this season is the best so far.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Really hope SPN is low and that it stays low even next week, the writers need a good kick up the arse. This season has been worse than season 7 which is highly regarded as the worst of the series. The Carver years are getting progressively worse.

    ReplyDelete
  74. spn is filler...filler and filler

    ReplyDelete
  75. ..and SPN VS empire

    ReplyDelete
  76. Given that they cant have 23 episodes of mytharc basically because Jensen Ackles doesnt want to work that much, filler is about their only option unless they agree wot shorten the season. I would love for them to announce next season as either the last of that they're going to cut the seasons to 12 episodes. We may get tighter writing then and every episode could be Dean/Cas/Crowley.

    ReplyDelete
  77. The Flash - 1.4
    SPN- .8
