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)

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.
What did Cristela get? I can't see the A18-49 part of the table on my phone.
ReplyDelete1.1
ReplyDeleteABC pretty stable.Actually I think ABC could renew Cristela do stay with LMS on friday.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrible number for Glee. It is really sad that this show got to this point
ReplyDeleteHoD is solid. Maybe even it adjusts up with a 0,6 in the 25-54. But I assume a huge amount of their viewers is between 18-34.
ReplyDeleteSeries low for WFF?
ReplyDeleteThat seem unusually low for Dateline. Could it Brian Williams be the reason for NBC news division suffering? HOD back up. CBS completely steady across the board with slight drops. Grimm deserves better than Constantine and much better than be sent to 8 p.m. slot after DST starts. Boo NBC (but yeah for renewing it)
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteI am probably crazy but I think they should move Blue Bloods behind NCIS on Tuesday 9PM.Old audience is big
ReplyDeleteWow Glee. But then again, almost everything is down.
ReplyDeleteYay HoD up in demo & Viewrs .Yikes Glee down
ReplyDeleteI think the Brian Williams scandal will negatively affect NBC's news division until they replace him with a viable new anchor.
ReplyDeleteAs for Grimm, it's already been renewed so it doesn't matter how it does when it moves to 8pm in March.
No. Just no. Why would you move an old skewing show to a prime spot on network TV? Besides CBS tried Blue Bloods on a non-syndication night in its 1st season when they moved it to Wednesdays at 10 PM. That lasted only 4 episodes.
ReplyDeleteShark Tank once again showing why ABC shouldn't move it from Fridays.
ReplyDeleteNo i think fresh off the boat could go there if it does 1.4-1.5 on tuesdays
ReplyDeleteThanks. That's good enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI think Tuesday @10pm would be a better option. I think it would do better than what Person of Interest is doing at this moment. It would be something if it were able to garner half a ratings point more on Tuesday while bringing in 12 million viewers consistently.
ReplyDeleteAwful for Glee. it almost matched HoD
ReplyDeleteThat depends on how Fresh Off The Boat does and Last Man Standing is worth keeping around after a syndication deal.
ReplyDeleteHate to see Mentalist end & hope Forever stays, but love Castle.
ReplyDeletegoodbye Constantine. you beautiful masterpiece of an angel. I was optimistic but then this rating came out and now I have lost all hope. you will always remain in my heart, just like Firefly.
ReplyDeleteWas tonight the finale of Constantine?
ReplyDeleteUr Welcome! ^_^
ReplyDeleteGrimm is renewed. But I feel if it slips badly in the ratings, that may effect its episode order next season. NBC may just hold it off the Fall schedule and decide that 13 episodes is enough for a final season. I still think Law & Order: SVU is coming to Friday.
ReplyDeleteNope, next week
ReplyDeleteGlee, you beautiful beautiful train wreck :( I wish the send off was a bit higher rated. I do expect it to rise for the final 2-3 episodes when that time comes :(
ReplyDeleteFor a cheap filler, that's still pretty decent for WFF.

That drop for HoD is strange.
ReplyDeleteI've read comments that Glee had a very good episode last night. So, it is disappointing to see it so low. I think this season has been better than last season.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to write the same thing. Didn't watch the ep yet but what the hell happened in that 2nd part of the ep.
ReplyDeleteDon't think they'll move SVU to Friday, that's their genre night.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Dropping .2 demo is strange for HOD. I guess this is the final season.
ReplyDeleteI'm also really concerned about Amazing Race when it returns.
Few changes this week, except for Glee collapsing.
ReplyDeleteCheck out how this housewife have earned 6 thousand dollars/monthly for doing a job from home for several h every day and how to achieve that for yourself>>>
ReplyDelete------------> ＯＷ.ＬＹ/HlSeI
☛☛☛{{{SEE HERE NOW ITS PROOF PAGE-->
I hope the Wednesday night exposure will somewhat help TAR, but I doubt it. Also, CBS is asking the EPs to come up with fresh ideas and I am afraid that might end up ruining the show.
ReplyDeleteDo you think they will pick up another genre show that will be compatible to Grimm?
ReplyDeleteCan an already collapsed show, further collapse?
ReplyDeleteThey do have a genre pilot in the mix, I forgot the name.
ReplyDeleteI just realized that there's a very high probability that Heart of Dixie could tie Glee in the ratings next week.
ReplyDeleteTime to lose to HOD, The 100 and Jane the Virgin.
ReplyDeleteToo ba there is Reign to take the crown of lowest rated show on TV.
Poor Glee!
ReplyDeleteI think Grimm ending will solely be based on what arrangement they have with D Wolf and SVU.
ReplyDeleteNBC doesn't have the luxury to end 2 series next season since they have completely bombed this season.
Only 1 drama is ending and if Harigatay has signed a 2 year contract then I believe NBC will end Grimm and keep SVU. If next season is the last for SVU, then NBC will have to keep Grimm for another 2 years.
Wow series low for Glee, ouch
ReplyDeleteThey have straight to series pickup Apocalypse and they have supernatural martial arts pilot Warrior.
ReplyDeleteAnother possibility would be if all there freshman dramas were all successful just like CBS this season. Then they could cancel both Grimm and SVU. They have some promising pilots. Shades of Blue, Chicago MD, End Game could all become hits.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely more interested in Warrior. Isn't Apocalypse supposed to be a 10 episode series?
ReplyDeleteThat's true, but at the same time I expect the network to play it safe and give both SVU and Grimm full 22+ episode season renewals.
ReplyDeleteIf a new show breaks out in the fall, then NBC can announce Grimm or SVU's current seasons as final.
Yes, Apocalypse is only 10 episodes so it could air in the fall and time share with Warrior if NBC wants to have a genre block.
ReplyDelete*sigh* Constantine is staying put at 0.8 it seems, I wish it would end the season higher.
ReplyDeleteWinners: Shark Tank
ReplyDeleteHonorable mention: Last Man Standing, Undercover Boss, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, Hart of Dixie, Grimm
Meh: World's Funniest Fais, Cristela
Losers: Glee, Constantine, Dateline, 20/20
I is likely a result of local programming lead-in at 7h30 being much higher than the result HoD had for the first half hour (8h00).
ReplyDeleteI don't see any relation with Fresh off the Boat. I think it depends a lot of LMS entirely. I think if LMS is canned, it is also done. If LMS is renewed, it has a chance (though not a sure thing).
ReplyDeleteHow are they irrelevant when they're the people watching the show? I'd agree with you as honorable mention of it only had a couple hundred thousand more viewers then the 2nd highest but it has over a million more viewers then anything else.
ReplyDeleteThey're irrelevant because networks & advertisers don't care about them,only 18-34/18-49 demo.
ReplyDeleteHoD is doing fine to friday night.. maybe is time to cw renew
ReplyDeleteSo you're telling me if the viewership for The Big Bang Theory or NCIS stayed nearly the same but the 18-49 rating dropped drastically they would be canceled because the number of viewers are irrelevant?
ReplyDeleteto more than two seasons you mean? :P
ReplyDeleteWell, they decided to place the show on friday nights. Without a build in audience no show survives that slot
ReplyDeleteAdvertisers don't pay for viewers older than 49, which makes them irrelevant for networks.
ReplyDeleteHoDs numbers baffle me in a very positive way. The show SHOULD do bad in this slot and yet it even built in on last years season average
ReplyDeleteYes.As Ombun said advertisers don't pay for Viewrs over 49 nor under 18.Ads are sold based on certain age/gender demos not total Viewrs.CBS likes to brag about total Viewrs because of high total Viewrs but low demo for thier shows(except BBT,NCIS).Total Viewrers bragging is just pr spin.
ReplyDeleteYeah why market to people who have made money and probably have it to spend. That sounds so dumb.
ReplyDeletewhy market to people that have a set buying behaviour. Men over 50 are statistically going to buy products they valued over the years instead of newly advertised products.
ReplyDeleteOr better: why advertise to people that are probably going to fall asleep during their way to Wallmart and don't remember what they wanted when waking up?
It's not about who has money,it's 1.peopke over 49 have brand loyalty and under 49 don't & 2.under 50 don't watch as much tv and tv live but in different ways-online,DVr,onDemand ect-so they're harder to reach with ads.
ReplyDeleteUmm don't watch that much TV? My dad is 73 and he watches a ton of TV shows in fact The Big Bang Theory is his favorite and he watches all the NCIS shows and The Blacklist, The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad but maybe he shouldn't anymore because the networks don't wanna market him because he's old.
ReplyDeleteNot just men over 50 I'm 33 and I value certain brands over others.
ReplyDeleteThat's why you write a list.
see and that's exactly why people over 50 don't count to much for ad revenue
ReplyDeleteif you're brand aware you're immediately out of the loop
I said people over 50 watch more tv and watch live so less valuable than the younger audience that dosent watch as much and dosent watch live so they're harder to reach with ads
ReplyDeleteWhether you find it stupid or not is even more irrelevant. It is how it is. You can look up the reasons (financial ones) that make it be that way if you want to be informed, although I suspect you will still be bitter anyway so I won't loose my time.
ReplyDeleteHF-0 was really good last night. It deserves a bigger viewership.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't calling you dumb I was calling the idea not to market to older people who more than likely have the money to spend on the things the commercials are advertising dumb.
ReplyDeleteHere is the reasoning why TV doesn't target older people:
ReplyDelete"The most relevant number to evaluate a show’s likelihood of coming back
next season (i.e. the show’s profitability for the network) are the 18-49 ratings.
Does this mean that total viewers are basically irrelevant? Yes.
However, unlike what is commonly thought, this is not because
advertisers don’t believe these people to have purchasing power.
In economics, one of the most basic characteristics you have to take into account when thinking about any model is scarcity.
Here, it is the same thing. In fact, what happens is that viewers
>50 are perceived by advertisers as being easier to reach. This
happens because they the ones that watch more TV, meaning for instance
that if they are not caught by the ads of program X, they will be caught
by the ads of program Y. Usually they also watch more daytime TV, which
also helps in being more easily “reachable”. If there were to be a huge
demographic revolution and the youth started to be glued to the TV all
the time and older people would never be in front of their TV, then I
can guarantee you that the system would change to reward those TV shows
that would get people >50 to sit in front of their TVs. This is why
you should practically ignore the Total Viewers (and Household) metrics.
18-49 is the most relevant one."
It is. :)
