  • Last Week's Final Adjusted Ratings


  • Early Ratings Analysis by Marc Berman (TVMediaInsights)
    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 opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

    Sunday 3/22/15 Metered Markets
    Clean Sweep for CBS

    Household
    Rating/Share
    CBS 7.4/12
    ABC 3.5/ 6
    NBC 3.2/ 5
    Fox 2.1/ 3

    -Percent Change from the Year-Ago Oscar Evening – Sunday 3/23/14:
    NBC: +10, Fox: no change, CBS: – 1, ABC: -24

    ———-

    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:
    “60 Minutes” (CBS), “Madam Secretary” (CBS)

    -Promising:
    “The Last Man on Earth” (Fox)

    -50/50 on a Second Season Renewal:
    “Secrets & Lies” (ABC)

    -Losers (excluding repeats):
    “Bob’s Burgers” (Fox), “Revenge” (ABC)

    ———-

    Ratings Breakdown:
    CBS stood well above the overnight competition last night with its older-skewing combination of “60 Minutes” (#1 for the evening: 9.0 rating/15 share), “Madam Secretary” (8.6/14), “The Good Wife” (6.9/11) and recent entry “Battle Creek” (5.1/ 9), which built week-to-week by 13 percent in the household overnights. But “Battle Creek” was still 22 percent below the 9:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “The Good Wife” (6.5/10). And a 4.5 rating in the overnights last week translated into only a 0.9 rating/3 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data. In other words, don’t get too used to “Battle Creek.”

    On ABC, week four of drama “Secrets & Lies” finished third in the 9 p.m. hour with a 3.6/ 5, which was just one-tenth of a rating point (or three percent) below one week earlier and equal to its “Once Upon a Time” lead-in. And that 3.7 overnight rating last week translated into a 1.4/ 4 in adults 18-49 (out of a 1.8/ 6 in the demo for “Once Upon a Time”), based on the Live Plus Same Day data. So, it “Secrets & Lies” stays where it is, there could potentially be a second season. Less likely to return on ABC is diluted four-year old “Revenge,” which finished third at 10 p.m. with a 3.1/ 5.

    Earlier in the evening on ABC was consistent “America’s Funniest Home Videos” at a second-place 3.7/ 5 from 7-8 p.m.

    On NBC, two more hours of “Dateline” rose to a 3.8/ 6 from 9-11 p.m., which was 15 percent above the 3.3/ 5 one week earlier. And it led out of a 2.5/ 4 for an encore telecast of “The Voice” from 7-9 p.m.

    Fox, meanwhile got more promising news from recent sitcom entry “The Last Man on Earth,” which scored a 2.8/ 4 with a one-hour installment from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, this was 47 percent above a one-hour encore airing out of lead-in “Family Guy” from 8-9 p.m. (1.9/ 3), and it was eight percent above the 2.6/ 4 in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour last week. And that 2.6 in the overnights translated into a 1.6/ 4 adults 18-49 (out of a 1.7/ 5 for “Family Guy”).

    Earlier in the evening on Fox was a repeat of “The Simpsons” (#4: 2.0/ 4 at 9 p.m.) into tired “Bob’s Burgers” at a 1.5/ 3 (#4) at 7:30 p.m

  • About the Daily Ratings
    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 are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
    Ratings FAQ.
