Ratings Breakdown:
In a season for NBC marred the absence of any new hit programming (so far), now veteran “The Voice” continues to hold up the network. The singing competition topped this first Tuesday in March, with a season-high 9.8 rating/15 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. (peaking in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour with a 10.3/16). And its advantage in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demographics) is expected to be significant. Keep in mind, though, that competing “NCIS” (#2: 7.0/11) and spin-off “NCIS: New Orleans” (#2: 5.5/ 9) on CBS were in repeats from 8-10 p.m.
Opposite a repeat of “Person of Interest” on CBS (#2: 3.6/ 6), NBC’s “Chicago Fire” won the 10 p.m. hour with a 5.9/10 in the household overnights. Comparably, this was 40 percent above the 4.2/ 7 on the year-ago evening (which led out of an 8.7/13 for “The Voice”). In other words…lead-in still matters.
In more promising news for ABC, certain-to-be renewed recent sitcom entry “Fresh Off the Boat” rose by one-tenth of a rating point week-to-week, with a third-place 4.1/ 7 at 8 p.m. Last week’s 4.0 household rating translated into a very acceptable 1.8 rating/6 share in adults 18-49, so expect more of the same. And week three of comical reality lead-out “Repeat After Me” also perked up by one-tenth of a rating point to a 2.7/ 4 at 8:30 p.m. (#4), which translated into a 1.3/ 4 in the demo. Too bad more people are not watching.
Next on the alphabet net was the return of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” at an underwhelming 3.0/ 5 from 9-10 p.m., which was still 11 percent above lead-in “Repeat After Me.” Comparably, this was 14 percent below the most recent telecast on 12/09/14. And older skewing ABC freshman drama “Forever” followed with a last-place 3.3/ 6 at 10 p.m., which was six percent below the 3.5/ 6 one week earlier (which resulted in a bland 1.0/ 3 in adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same day data).
In season-premiere news, “Hell’s Kitchen” on Fox returned with a diluted 3.0/ 5 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m. (#4), which is still expected to generate interest in the key demos. But 9-10 p.m. lead-out comedies “New Girl” (#4: 1.9/ 3) and “The Mindy Project” (#4: 1.6/ 3) continue to lag. “New Girl” is a shell of what it used to be.
Elsewhere, The CW capped off the evening with encore telecasts of “The Flash” (#5: 1.1/ 2) and “Supernatural” (#5: 0.7/ 1).

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.
Fresh Off the Boat is the new Middle, just a few tenths lower. Super steady.
ReplyDeleteIm impressed,it even managed to rise slightly in viewership.
ReplyDeleteOh okay thx i have a hard time understand the HH ratings
ReplyDeleteI noticed that Honorable Mention isn't a bad thing for Mark. He usually uses it when a show does better than usual, or does suprisingly well against tough competition (like FOTB now). It doesn't mean that it's not a Winner show.
ReplyDeleteProbably.I am so sad.
ReplyDeleteSo, 1.5-1.6 for Shield?
ReplyDeleteLooove your profile pic BTW ;)
ReplyDeleteNooo AOS I wanted a 2.0 damn it
ReplyDeleteI was hoping 1.7=1.8 for AoS, but looks like that won't be happening.
ReplyDeleteFOtB continues to get good ratings. So happy about that.
I think it's because of the fans of Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond, a hit show from the 90s.
ReplyDeleteWow for The Voice at 10.3 HH in 9:30 p.m. half-hour.
ReplyDeleteSame :/
ReplyDeleteThey aren't of much use honestly, I don't bother trying to understand them very well.
ReplyDeleteGo FOTB!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy have SHEILD in the 'Modest' category but then call it underwhelming? I really don't get Marc sometimes. At any rate SHEILD will be renewed for a 3rd season come May and probably a 4th for syndication.
ReplyDeleteAny chance Netflix picks up SHEILD in the rather unlikely event it gets cancelled after season 3? I know it won't happen, just curious.
That was never likely to happen. But hopefully it'll not even be a series low given it's had a HH rating of under 3 before. Really can't tell much from the HH though, anything could happen.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it's been under a 3 more than once so it doesn't mean it's going to do badly in the demo.
ReplyDeleteI know that,im dissapointed after that winter finale i thought it would start with a 2.0 demo.
ReplyDeleteVery happy for FOTB.
ReplyDeleteOuch both New Girl and Mindy, but especially Mindy.
ReplyDeleteReally happy with what FoTB is doing :)
ReplyDeleteShield seems to be scoring something on the range of 1.5-1.6. Not too bad, but not a great start.
The Voice seems to be regaining some steam and CF is certainly going to benefit
Do you think if Agents of SHIELD gets renewed,will move to another night?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, what else would ABC put on Tuesdays at 9?
ReplyDeleteWhat else is ABC going to put there? S.H.I.E.L.D. holds its own considering the tough competition so ABC is happy with it, not a lot that they could put there would do better
ReplyDeleteUnlikely. It would be its third move on its third season.
ReplyDeleteThere is no "if". It "will be renewed.
ReplyDeleteI hoped that this Inhuman storyline had brought some life into it but guess not.
ReplyDeleteback in Oct AoS got a 1.7 off a 2.9 so it's possible
ReplyDeleteYeah that is true!
ReplyDeleteI think it will stay put but if the spring season goes below the fall season I could see a scenario in which it moves to 10pm and ABC tries a new drama at 9. I don't particularly like the idea but I think it's possible.
ReplyDeleteShows have been moved more than that, I don't think it's the issue. The issue is what ABC does there.
ReplyDeleteFotB is doing great, but it needs something to be paired with - possibly The Middle or Black-ish - and then AoS would have a respectable lead in; it may do good if it has something to carry on viewers into it
FoTB wasn't my favorite episode but I'm glad it rose, hope it translates in the demos as well.
ReplyDeleteNothing else for me here. Till the Flash and iZombie come back.
I am hoping it gets at least that much.
ReplyDeleteIt ties in more with total viewers than it does with the demo
ReplyDeleteIt should, it is far more interesting and connected to the MCU than ever before
ReplyDeleteYep, 1.7 in Top 25 last night. Although I think it tends to go down in Fast Nationals.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with this,but show(AOS) in its 2nd season shouldnt rely on lead-in.
ReplyDeleteABC doesn't have anything compatible with it. They haven't even ordered a genre drama pilot.
ReplyDeleteThat slow start to the season really killed it.
ReplyDeleteGreat for FOTB, even though it wasn't the best episode. Repeat After Me doing pretty well. I hope The Voice helped Chicago Fire a lot. SHIELD did very underwhelming.
ReplyDeleteI advise against using the HH to predict the performance of extremely young skewing shows like the FOX comedies. Unlikely to be representative.
ReplyDeleteThere are shows in their older shows than that which rely on their lead-ins.
ReplyDeleteDamn :/
ReplyDeleteTrue, but it did decent during the fall, so maybe it could do decent on its own and do better with assistance. All in all, it's about making Tuesdays work, and anything else could risk having the entire night fall apart. ABC has a chance of making Tuesday work; they may not win it, but they may score decent results now
ReplyDeleteTop 25 Market Numbers have been entered into the table and will be available shortly. Refresh to update.
ReplyDeleteThey could put Quantico at 9.
ReplyDeleteGreat for Chicago Fire.Glad it rebounded without comedies.
ReplyDeleteA different lead in can make a difference as to how many people watch live vs catch up via DVR or online
ReplyDeleteThey missed their chance with The Whispers. Why didn't they try it out on Tuesdays is beyond me
ReplyDeleteYeah, I keep wondering the same thing.
ReplyDeleteFOTB is a keeper for ABC Tuesdays; leave it right where it is.
ReplyDeleteAoS... does it usually fall from its top 25? I hope not, a 1.7 would be a decent number for its return
Predictions based on top25 markets only:
ReplyDelete- Fresh off the Boat: 1.8-1.9
- Repeat After Me: 1.3-1.4
- Marvel's Agents of Shield: 1.5 (I want to cry!!)
- Forever: 0.9
- The Voice: 4.0-4.1
- Chicago Fire: 2.1
- Hell's Kitchen: 1.3-1.4
- New Girl: 1.1-1.2
- The Mindy Project: 0.9-1.0
Hopefully, Shield won't go that low... key word: hopefully
ReplyDeleteIt does. I expect a 1.5 :/ I want to cry!
ReplyDeleteI pray that you are right
ReplyDeleteThat might work since it's somewhat compatible, but I fear AoS might drop to low 1s at 10.
ReplyDeleteOh, oh... :(
ReplyDeleteMe too, and I don't like the idea, but if it only does a 1.5 for the super hyped spring premiere it probably goes to low 1s at 9 too and that isn't a fair lead-in to give to a new show at 10.
ReplyDeleteNew Girl did better when Masterchef Jr was on..
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, typically it does fall from the top 25, yes, by anything from .1 to .3
ReplyDeleteLooks like NBC finally had something that did decently after The Voice, and it was Chicago Fire, the show that didn't necessarily need The Voice.
ReplyDeleteIf it falls to new lows, could ABC cancel it?
ReplyDeleteIf so, maybe both Shield and Agent Carter can be kept by another network... I think Netflix would be a suitable home for both of them considering their Marvel lineup.
Oh man, I'm already started to think about cancellation, this is depressing!
It's not like TMP is going to do any better than low 1s.
ReplyDeleteThe Whispers will be summer series and almost no chance that it will be good in ratings for second season.
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I predict next season Chicago Med will have the post Voice slot on Mondays
ReplyDeleteABC must have lost confidence on it. Well, at least they didn't give it The Messengers treatment
ReplyDeleteNo, ABC will renew Agents of Shield. Even a 1.5 is still renewable level for a sophmore, I think it would have to go substantially lower to be in danger. But I really didn't count on it returning this low, I honestly thought a 2.0 was in the realm of possibilities though realistically I knew 1.8 or so was more likely.
ReplyDeleteMasterchef Jr did better than Hell's Kitchen
ReplyDeleteThey won't cancel it.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else think NBC Tuesday comedies will be DOA
ReplyDeleteWell, ABC is using NBA finals to promote it, so it might get good enough ratings. I know the show is more expensive than Mistresses, so mid 1s should get it renewed.
ReplyDeleteI actually expected a 1.7, and prepared myself in case it did a 1.5. Well, it seems that it did.
ReplyDeleteSo how much lower can it go? I mean, Shield has seen surges from time to time so maybe it could go up in following weeks - especially once Undeatable and One Big Happy premieres, getting The Voice out of there -, but how much can it afford to fall from here?
Predictions
ReplyDeleteFOTB- 2.0
Repeat after me- 1.4
AOS-1.6
Forever-0.9
The Voice-3.9
Chicago Fire-1.9
Hell's Kitchen-1.4
New Girl-1.2
Mindy-1.0
But short season of 13 episodes possible if it will be fall to 1.2.-1.4.
ReplyDeleteI've always been in support of Chicago Med after The Voice. I think that they have a good shot at finding an audience there.
ReplyDeleteI think it also depends on where they schedule it. I would like them to schedule a night of Beyond the Tank - The Whispers - Something else for the summer. Maybe Rookie Blue at 10pm for stability.
ReplyDeleteHoping FOTB can hit that 2.0
ReplyDeleteConsidering their latest streak of failures post Voice: Marry me/About a Boy, State of Affairs and The Night Shift, it is entire possible for them to bomb hard
ReplyDeleteI am kinda of assuming Chicago Med will be put off till midseason like CPD.
ReplyDeleteYeah exactly! NG is on hiatus till March 31 so hopefully it will bounce back
ReplyDeleteI think 1.9 is more likely, but that's still pretty great
ReplyDeleteI think it's possible they do it but I don't get the why. I never understood why they did it with PD in the first place when everyone could have known that it was going to be more successful than the Ironside thing.
ReplyDeleteTBH I think Shield will keep that 1.7
ReplyDeleteConsidering the shape of NBC scripted department, I'd put it as soon as I can and in the best timeslot possible, otherwise they risk another failure, whereas this is part of a brand
ReplyDeletehighly unlikely ABC would cancel, it does well in DVR and online and has sold well internationally too
ReplyDeleteLet's hope it does
ReplyDeleteI really hope they don't try to compete with CBS in the summer with airing The Whispers against Zoo, UtD or BB.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on how well Undateable does. If it struggles to find an audience, One Big Happy is done. And if that happens, then I think that we will see The Voice slide to 9 PM, The Voice recaps at 8 PM, and Chicago Fire at 10 PM.
ReplyDeleteWhat would be the use of that?
ReplyDeleteThere's plenty of shows that have done well on DVR, online and internationally that winds up cancelled. Only The CW has shown to care about those factors, while the others networks seems yet to catch up
ReplyDeleteIf renewed, Shield will have another 22 episodes order. a 13 episode order would be utter nonesense
ReplyDeleteThere aren't that many nights empty to be honest. I think they should try Thursdays. Where would you put it assuming they do this two hour block? It's either Sunday, Tuesday or Thursday. Maybe Tuesdays though they would gave Got Talent and Zoo there.
ReplyDeleteHow awful would it be for NBC if they started next season with zero returning comedies.
ReplyDeleteNo way shield did a 3 in the households from prev ratings this year that's roughly a 1.7 or 1.6 please keep it shield and don't drop in the next 11 weeks damn you voice! Its way to strong right now
ReplyDeleteFresh off the Boat is doing well, but at the same time its still early to see where the show will end up. The ratings could crash in the coming weeks, but for the moment the show is safe and doing well. Repeat After Me is doing well. It looks cheap to produce and should be fine depending on what ABC decide to do. Shield is doing bad this year. Its doing what Nashville was doing in its second season but Shield is a lot more costly to produce due to special effects. The show may get a 13 episode season 3. Forever is holding in there. The ratings are stable for the Tuesday @10 slot but are low. More than likley will be canceled. If renewed I will be shocked.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't just be awful, but also unprecedented and shocking... but at this point it may happen
ReplyDeleteAs mid-season replacement for Fall flop.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say shocking any more since we are all saying it is possible. I am still sad over About a Boy's inevitable cancellation.
ReplyDeleteBTW, do you like the show now? I thought you weren't a fan. Am I confusing you with someone? If not, welcome on board! It's one of my favorite shows!
ReplyDeleteLet's thank the gods The Voice is only airing at 8PM in two weeks. Undeatable and One Big Happy can't come soon enough; it'll be easier competition for Shield
ReplyDeleteIt would still be quite surprising to see a network coming back to season with no returning comedies. It hasn't happened since The CW cancelled Everybody Hates Chris
ReplyDeleteThere's also the all important Disney/Marvel franchise factor working strongly in its favor
ReplyDeleteI really don't see that happening. When ever ABC has needed to pull a show, they plug the whole with repeats till a new show is ready.
ReplyDeleteI got way more excited about it with the Inhumans storyline. It is not my favorite show - by far -, but it has gotten to a place where I truly enjoy it, so it would be sad to see it go.
ReplyDeleteTo put it in perspective, it is undergoing the same curv Revolution did: pretty shaky start, but slowly starting to win over me, though Shield has been slower. But still, it's kind of annoying that just when the show is starting to appeal to me, it does bad
Yup I'm thanking my stars for it the show has become way too good now to just drop ( that Skye fitz scene was everything!!)
ReplyDeleteWell, ABC shuld be announcing their midseasn schedule in the next few weeks, they did that in that last week of March last year.
ReplyDeleteI feel like that always happens to me: when shows start to appeal to me, they do worse than they were doing before. It's so annoying
ReplyDeleteIn any case, I am still ready to declare Shield as being in no danger whatsoever, so I wouldn't worry just yet, although it is damn frustrating to see it getting lower ratings than it deserves.
Yep, as it gets more interesting the ratings start to crumble. I hate that! It has happened a few times with other shows too: Fringe, Revolution, Nikita (though I caught up with it once it ended, but the episodes that I liked the most rated the worst), Pushing Daisies, and the list goes on and on!
ReplyDeleteCW doesn't even come in conversation, since it's not in the big leagues.
ReplyDeleteYou could argue that's what they did with Body of Proof a few years back, but I doubt they'll take that route with Shield
ReplyDeleteEven if it falls to mid 1s, FOtB is still a certain renewal.
ReplyDeleteThat's a major factor that may influence the decision making progress. But since the ratings are not that good, maybe ABC will plea for both shows - AoS and Agent Carter - to move to a different network or streaming platform (Netflix).
ReplyDeleteI'm just assuming, for all we know both AoS and Carter will continue to air on Tuesdays at 9
Agree, just saying that's the only time I've seen such a thing happen
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean summer schedule but yeah.
ReplyDeleteProbably I would do something of this kind:
Monday: The Bachelorette and later Bachelor Pad | Mistresses
Tuesday: Shark Tank (R) | Beyond the Tank | The Whispers
Wednesday: Comedy Repeats | Comedy Repeats | Astronaut Wives Club
Thursday: Extreme Weight Loss | Rookie Blue | How to Get Away with Murder (R)
Friday: Shark Tank (R) | What Would You Do? | 20/20
Sunday: Wipeout | New Reality | Wife Swap
Maybe replace the Tuesday rerun of Shark Tank by comedy reruns halfway to prepare for the comedy hour on the fall.
I actually think that AoS did surprisingly well if you consider "The Voice" and the fact that it came from a long hiatus.
ReplyDeleteIt has improved SHARPLY!
ReplyDeleteSeason 1 started off awful, but the back half was ok to good. Now season started a bit slow, but quickly caught up an interesting pace. And now it is fully engaging.
I won't take a second Revolution here! (A show gets worse ratings as it gets better on quality)
1.7 for AOS? Not bad.... Just hope it's enough for it to get Seasons 3 & 4.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly solid schedule I must say. Though Astronaut Wives Club seems to be off to fend for itself
ReplyDeleteI think you mean Bachelor in Paradise.
ReplyDeleteYeah that, sorry.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same type of schedule under which Under the Dome was successful in its first season. And ABC comedy reruns were often some of the highest rated things on their schedule last summer and the block is even stronger this year. They could also swap it with Mistresses to give it the bachelorette support, but I feel like Mistresses would collapse in a different slot since it already does so poorly in the one it has.
ReplyDeleteYeah, i thought it would come down low.
ReplyDeleteIt's like ABC has forgotten this show exist. They didn't even mention it during the TCAs when they talked about their summer shows. It is getting the same treatment as Wayward Pines, but at least Wayward Pines is supposed to be close ended.
ReplyDeleteI get depressed thinking about Revolution since I truly miss the show. And it is really a shame that it got to air in what was probably NBC's best scripted season in ages, in any other year the type of relative numbers it was pulling at 8pm would get it renewed. And then a 4th season would also come. Damn...
ReplyDeletei can see it get season 3... season 4 i dont know but i hope it does.
ReplyDeletei dont think shield will be cancelled
ReplyDeleteI'm not in the favor of that, TBH. I'd rather we get weekly episodes of AoS.
ReplyDeleteIf it gets a 22 episode season 3, then season 4 is guaranteed.
ReplyDeletei m gonna watch (shield) whole season 2 in the coming summer just like i did it in season 1.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see CF is back to it's regular numbers.I'm content if AoS gets around 1.8.
ReplyDeleteWell, split seasons have been working for ABC, with TGIT and OUAT.
ReplyDeleteWatch them pull One Big Happy and replace it with frikin Welcome to Sweden
ReplyDeleteI can't see Undateable doing well
ReplyDeleteI'm not freaking out yet about SHIELD to be honest. It needs a 1.6 however...if it can hold there we should be safe
ReplyDeleteBut they have nothing to lose by keeping it all in the family with ABC. And aside from all that, the show is still performing well enough that this isn't even a concern to begin with
ReplyDeleteThe problem with AOS is people don't watch it live, but they are watching. I woke up at 5 AM just so I could stream the new episode legally because I couldn't watch it last night. AOS practically doubles in L +7. It does ridiculously well on iTunes/Amazon. Good Blu-ray/DVD sales. It is very popular on Netflix. It can even sell comic books, movie tickets, and merchandise. The question now becomes if you can make money elsewhere, do live ratings matter? I feel like the answer to that is no they don't matter, at least not the way they did 10 or 15 years ago. DVR change the industry, therefore the business model must change.
ReplyDeleteOBH only has 6 episodes in season 1, so I don't think they'd just let it finish the order.
ReplyDeleteOUAT doesn't have to deal with The Voice.
ReplyDeleteThe Marvel shows are just horrible lead-ins for ABC. And the fact that they've not picked up a drama that could pair with them is ludicrous. I'd move SHIELD to 10:00, drag it to syndication, and call it a day with the Marvel partnership because what is ABC really gaining here?
ReplyDeleteOBH is quite good, so I am going to be sad if it flops.
ReplyDeleteI thought AoS would go up now that it has no SPN competition, but I guess not. I think that poor first season and some annoying main characters like Coulson may have KOed them early on.
ReplyDeleteAnd how does that relate to the split season part? I don't really buy the "long hiatus" excuse, since that hasn't effected other ABC shows that much.
ReplyDeleteI don't either. My point is unlike OUAT has stiffer competition that compels people to actually watch it live. AOS is DVR friendly. I expect the ratings to go up as soon as it doesn't have to deal with The Voice.
ReplyDeleteDisney owns both ABC and Marvel. There is no "partnership" per se which the can call off.
ReplyDeleteRepeat After Me is an entertaining half hour, and ABC situated it basically the one place on its schedule where I'll be sure to see. Post Fresh Off the Boat and Pre Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I actually watched the whole ABC lineup last night.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does Shield look like its gonna be a four season flameout genre series?
ReplyDeleteWayward Pines has promos, mentions in the press and, most importantly, a premiere date. AWC has nothing of the sort.
ReplyDeletenope I think it will be 4 seasons
ReplyDeleteJust you
ReplyDeleteYep, I know, but it's the closest example I had.
ReplyDeleteHorrible lead-in? It's not AoS fault Forever is a ratings disaster. Take out ABC's Thursday lineup and it is the 2nd highest rated drama on ABC.

ReplyDeletethat dosnt bother me if it gets four season then thats really great.
ReplyDeleteFOTB-1.7
ReplyDeleteAOS-1.6
Yeah FOTB :)))
ReplyDeleteThe Voice-3.8/4.3
ReplyDeleteCF-2.2
Chicago Fire jumps .8 tenths--> Lead in does matter
ReplyDeleteHuh, I was already prepared for 1.5. It's only a tenth but this 1.6 looks so much better in my eyes.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice is saving NBC right now, but the lack of competition is helping a lot too
ReplyDeleteI can deal with that. Really I'm just happy when it's not a complete bloodbath on Tuesday as for ABC. This is decent.
