Update: 14:35 GMT We've just posted the Top 25 Demo Numbers
14:30 GMT It appears the ratings maybe delayed due to the first night of the clocks changing in the USA. We've opened the post up so you can speculate and discuss the ratings when they become available.
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)
If you would like to see last weeks ratings for the same day so that you can compare, click this link.
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)
For more information on the Nielsen Ratings see this Wikipedia Entry.
NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.
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.
Ratings are usually delayed the first time after DST.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it will be interesting to see how Battle Creek and Secrets & Lies hold up, but I don't have much hope for either.
Damn i got all excited!
ReplyDeleteYou'll have top 25 soon.
ReplyDeleteTop 25 Market Numbers have now been entered
ReplyDeleteOh cool thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) Just adding them
ReplyDeleteWell, Revenge seems to have recovered a bit which is nice.
ReplyDeleteOUAT did ok too
I just hope that it translates into something like a 1.1
ReplyDeleteShouldn't be lower than a 1, that's for sure
ReplyDeleteLast Man on Earth fell, but still doing great for FOX
ReplyDeleteI think that the time change must've helped it a little
ReplyDeleteThe Last Man on Earth did so bad it didn't even get a rating :P lol
ReplyDeleteHmm seems like OUAT will drop under 2. Tough! Shame it was a good episode.
ReplyDeletePlease OUAT don't fall below 2! Did Secrets and Lies match it's top 25 from last week?
ReplyDeleteNo, S&L is 0.2 lower than last week.
ReplyDeleteNo, it got a 1.7
ReplyDeleteWhen someone knows the per half hour total viewership numbers for OUAT, please post them.
ReplyDeleteI want to know if the number of viewers went up, or down, and by how much.
And if possible, I'd like the half hour break down on Madam Secretary too.
Thanks!
Wow, Madam Secretary did worse than TGW!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Madam Secretary? It already hit a demo series low last week and now it's looking at another low! All while the show has its best episodes to date.
ReplyDeleteOuch S&L. I expect 1.3/1.4. Really wish they had put it on Thursdays as originally planned. Much more watchable than American Crime.
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek is a true embarrassment for CBS.
American Crime was really good.
ReplyDeleteI hope for a 2.0 for Once Upon a Time.
ReplyDeletehow much ok? Higher than 1.7?
ReplyDeleteOnce went down by .2 in HH top 25. Madam went down by .1.
ReplyDeleteGuesses based exclusively on top 25 markets:
ReplyDelete- Once Upon a Time: 2.0-2.1
- Secrets and Lies: 1.3-1.4
- Revenge: 1.0-1.1
- Madam Secretary: 1.0-1.1
- The Good Wife: 1.1
- Battle Creek: 0.9
- The Simpsons: 1.6
- Brooklyn Nine-Nine: 1.5
- Family Guy: 1.9
- The Last Man on Earth: 1.6-1.7
- Dateline: 0.60
MS benefited from CBS NFL spillover several weeks, but, like Stalker/CSI, it trailed TAR all season. I couldn't figure out why CBS granted such an early renewal for a mid-1s new series in a high profile slot. I bet they end up changing the order or just canceling it - and they should. It will never make it four seasons and it is destroying the entire Sunday lineup.
ReplyDeleteLike a 2.0
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. Revenge.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I understand why they didn't put American Crime on Sundays though but I wish Secrets and Lies could have gotten Thursdays. I think a 1.3-1.4 is not an ouch result though, it is a decent post premiere hold.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're right about Once Upon a Time!
ReplyDeleteLMOE dropped a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think it normally only drops 0.1 anyway so fingers crossed :)
ReplyDeleteIncoming lol for Battle Creek.
ReplyDeleteSad about OUAT's fall, but at least it looks like it's the most watched program of the night.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Secrets and Lies, even while mediocre, still helped lift Revenge. Compatibility is a big issue
ReplyDeleteWell of course it did.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am very much in favor of networks adopting split seasons, I thin they are harmful for freshmans shows. Half a season or less than it is simply too little time for viewers to become sufficiently loyal to actively seek the series when it returns. There are exceptions (read How to Get Away with Murder, but even that one came back a bit weaker), but in general I think this tends to apply. So I think Madam Secretary is suffering from that, though I am not sure what the alternative was, since obviously airing it during event season was not viable.
ReplyDeleteWow everything seems low. I'm sure DST had an effect to some extent, especially the 8pm shows
ReplyDeleteI think it was simply a normal (read non flop) lead-in.
ReplyDeleteI thought it would hold better because of the steady half hours, and dropping seven tenths is more than the average post premiere drop.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this is too much. It should have held up a bit better especially since it had a better lead-in too. But maybe airing it at the bottom of the hour hurt it. Then again, these guesses are always harder for shows that have very few airings since I don't have a big enough sample to base my guess on. So I could be off.
ReplyDeleteI bet next season OUaT will find a way to bring back the Frozen characters to help boost up the ratings again if they keep on falling like this.
ReplyDeleteResurrection was almost unbelievably low though. While I think compatibility is a huge issue, I think here you don't even have to get into that, as Secrets and Lies appears to be like half a point stronger or so than where Resurrection ultimately settled. That matters a lot.
ReplyDeleteit is fine but lower than before. Next week it could do 1.7 damn... If it stays higher than 1.00 should be renewed anyway but damn!!! Do you feel me? :( Wish it stayed steady... instead it drops everyrime
ReplyDeleteThey're pretty steady...
ReplyDeleteOUAT could fall to 1.4 and still be renewed. And it won't. It is basically doing what it was doing for the OZ arc, just a tad lower.
ReplyDeleteOnce Upon a Time is not a "should be renewed anyway" type of show. It is a virtually certain renewal and is ABC's strongest drama outside of TGIT. It is in no danger whatsoever. Period.
ReplyDelete1.3 is low thought, and it didn't have much rom to fall with that 1.5 for the premiere. At least we'll get the conclusion even if it gets cancelled.
ReplyDeleteOUAT doesn't need to go up in ratings, it's the 4th highest rated drama on ABC. Only Shonda Rhymes shows perform better.
ReplyDeleteThat I agree with but my point was that this wasn't a bad pot premiere hold. The problem was that the premiere number was low to begin with. I wish it had been able to start with a 2.0.
ReplyDeleteLast Man On Earth took a huge tumble. Maybe it will look different later.
ReplyDeleteOnce/American Crime/Revenge would have been incredibly jarring, though. And it'd be lunacy for ABC to put their most cable-ish drama on cable's strongest night.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Daylight Savings Time. It's going to impact your 8 PM shows.
ReplyDeleteEvery show drops sooner or later...You don't have to worry, Once Upon a Time is the 4th highest rated drama of ABC, It will be renewed for sure :)
ReplyDeleteRight? I don't understand the constant hand wringing from people whose show is very, very secure on its network. I understand wanting something you like to do the best that it can, but c'mon.
ReplyDeleteMy point is that Secrets & Lies fits much better on Thursdays. It has all these twists and turns, and would fit right in after Scandal. American Crime is such a slow burn after a fast-paced show like Scandal.
ReplyDeleteABC produces both shows, but I guess they went with the one with bigger numbers attached for their prime slot.
Bitter much han?
ReplyDeleteYep, me too.
ReplyDeleteEvery show can change it's faith: see Sleepy Hollow it was big strong now it is a funerable baby
ReplyDeleteYeah, a split season might not have helped. It didn't help Revolution season 1, but as you say, there was no alternative for MS. I suppose DST might have had an effect on the ratings as well. But these ratings are really low. Should CBS have waited to renew it? Could/Should they move the show next season? I'm just glad it's been renewed but I fear for future seasons.
ReplyDeleteI think his point is that both slots needed new shows (Thursdays at 10 and Sundays at 9) and ABC should try to maximize the numbers for both slots. I think if they had put American Crime on Sundays it would collapse to a very horrible level (Resurrection style, probably around 1s) and drag Revenge back down it too in the process. Secrets and Lies would benefit from Thursdays for sure but I don't think the gain it would have would have been enough to offset the losses from American Crime (and Revenge). So it is taking a bullet here but the network is probably better off this way.
ReplyDeleteWell that's because Sleepy Hollow's second season was a mess. Fans reactions to OUAT now is nowhere near as negative as Sleepy Hollow. And the show fell from the season 2 premiere onwards, while OUAT has kept its trend with the OZ arc so far, so not a really good comparison
ReplyDeleteThey should have just left The Amazing Race at Sundays 8.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if it drops further. It's a cool idea for a movie, but there's only so much of one guy wondering an abandoned place that people can stand until it's too much.
ReplyDeleteCan't blame them for trying, it's not like The Amazing Race did that well on Sundays last season to begin with
ReplyDeleteMadam Secretary has improved the slot in total viewers though. And in turn it lifts up The Good Wife.
ReplyDelete"Only Shonda Rhymes shows perform better."
ReplyDeleteIncoming: one strongly worded memo from Shonda on twitter informing everyone about the correct spelling of her name!
Madam Secretary is one of the hardest cases for me to explain in terms of why it got such an early renewal. While a renewal at season's end wouldn't have surprised me, it should be, by all accounts, a bubble show and networks don't typically renew bubble shows in January. So I think something else is going on with it. CBS is not known for making stupid business decisions like that so if they renewed it early it is because they probably knew it would remain profitable even if ratings were to fall, since the risk of them falling was always a big one. In fact, I've always thought CBS had to have known the show had limited appeal in the demo to begin with but they still launched it and were apparently satisfied enough with the results to grant it a very early renewal when they absolutely didn't have to. I don't really know what to make of it. I think a move is entirely off the table though since I don't see any other spot in which it would work and since CBS will almost certainly keep its Madam Secretary-The Good Wife combo in place.
ReplyDeleteCBS is cursed with their Sunday nights x)
ReplyDeleteI guess the Cinderella sneak peek didn't helped a lot. Not surprised. Maybe they should have aired Frozen sneak peek, but that would be impossible since it's only 6-7 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThey do it upon themselves with football overruns. It's very hard to get anything going with shows that shift half a season.
ReplyDeleteThe upscale audience focus doesn't help either. It brings in a select audience, but it's not broad enough to rate in the demos at all.
LMoE 1.8
ReplyDeleteThat happened from one season to the other. Besides, that was a freshman show and one with a very limited episode count to begin with, so they are always more prone to big drops and for audience to give up. Veteran shows like Once Upon a Time which are halfway through its 4th year rarely experience such huge declines like that.
ReplyDeleteStill want SH s3 & thanks. Glad OUAT did good. I still love Sleepy thou my girl is gone. I will never stop crying over Perception axing btw. The new director is a jerk he should have kept it. It wasn't that low when it was cancelled. Now my UBER fav is gone T_T
ReplyDeleteThat is a valid and very plausible point. I too think MS and TGW will remain intact next season, although I am not sure what will happen once TGW inevitably ends (probably season 7 is its last). Anyway, that's too far away so let's just enjoy the show for now. Have you seen last night's episode already? I thought it was really awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhen will people realize that the overruns actually help the night instead of hurting it? With the exception of the 10pm show, which they didn't care for anyway, they are better off when they have overruns. In addition, there weren't even that many time shifts this year.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Once is a certain renewal. Still, I wish its ratings were higher.. it deserves more..
ReplyDeleteIt got a 1.9 exactly a year ago on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteS&L 1.4
ReplyDeleteSleepy Hollow is likely to come back; the writers and FOX are just trying to see which direction could help a rating resurgance; they know the audience is there, they are just planning how to win it back before renewing the show
ReplyDeletelooks like TGW and Battle Creek are going to be cancelled...
ReplyDeleteI am not used to the ratings coming an hour early, guess it will take a day or two.
ReplyDeleteOUAT 2.1
ReplyDeleteI remember it starting to do 1.5s as the season went on. Not bad, but not stellar either.
ReplyDeleteThe Amazing Race could have been kept on Sundays, but I don't think it was a bad idea to try something else there. And until recently Madam Secretary was working
I have not, and I have yet to see the one from last week too. My TV schedule is insane right now, so I have Madam Secretary and The Good Wife piled up. I want to go over them this week, let's see if I am able to. I am quite excited for Madam actually, everyone has been praising a lot.
ReplyDeleteBut I am actually a good example of my point about splitting seasons for freshmans. I wasn't behind on MS during the fall and now I am already.
Surprisingly strong for it, good premiere hold. Still, weak rating overall
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek .8
ReplyDeleteOverruns do in general, but with CBS, sometimes it's 15 minutes on football overrun Sundays, sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes 45 minutes. It's reliant on how often football goes over and I think that it's very hard for an audience to figure out when the show actually starts. Most casual viewers will turn at 8 PM, figure it's not on, and move elsewhere. They aren't going to wait 15 minutes on week, 30 the next etc.
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek is certain to be cancelled but The Good Wife will be renewed.
ReplyDeleteBye bye Battle Creek
ReplyDeleteOuch. This will be pulled soon.
ReplyDeleteYou're the first person i've seen that has suggested the good wife be cancelled. I think that is very possibly could be cancelled.
ReplyDeleteStarted with 1.5 but but stayed above 1.7 after the first two episodes, even hitting a 2.0.
ReplyDeleteMadam Secretary was working because of the football overruns. Now that football is done, it came crashing down.
That's not too bad even though it won't give them a renewal. Still beter than Resurrection's season average though.
ReplyDeleteNice for OUAT and S&L :)
ReplyDeleteYet, despite what you said, evidence contracts it as The Good Wife and Madam Secretary ratings are higher in overrun nights than in not-overrun nights, so apparently the audience has no probably finding the shows on those nights and yes, they do wait.
ReplyDeleteCBS' problem is 60M/MS after football. Neither show maximizes that lead-out. (Take a look at FOX and TS and the huge numbers it gets after football and that's with TO usually filling in for 15-20 minutes.) It's a programming issue, not an overrun issue.
ReplyDeleteStill pretty good for FOX.
ReplyDeleteI think CBS has already agreed to air all episodes.
ReplyDeleteAre you saying it feels like an hour early? Because where I'm at it's still after 11.
ReplyDeleteother sites like TVinsiders guess TGW and H5O are possible shows to be cancelled...
ReplyDeleteYes me too. But next week they will be back to the same time for me since my hour will also change.
ReplyDeleteI don't see the table, what are their ratings?
ReplyDeleteOUAT: 2.1
ReplyDeleteSL: 1.4
The Good Wife is more than likely to get its final season(season 7).
ReplyDeleteRevenge? Where are people seeing the ratings by the way? The table looks empty to me and showbuzzdaily is down.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have DST in Pakistan anymore.
ReplyDeleteVery good for OUAT! :) I was expecting much lower for S&L :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely think Hawaii 5-0 can be cancelled.
ReplyDeleteThey are moved into higher watched timeslots overall, causing the inflation, so I would agree there and the reasoning works. But the fact that it tends to not hold after overruns shows that it's not likely he core audience waiting around to watch. And this desire not to stick with it and watch is likely caused by the constant shifting.
ReplyDeleteThere are some added to the table, should load soon.
ReplyDeleteYou can see some too on Joe Adalian's twitter
We don't do DST in Pakistan anymore, but this time fits me better since the ratings come at 9, which is usually dinner time for me, in winter.
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek is a joke for CBS. We all knew that was going to happen though.
ReplyDeleteHow about revenge?
ReplyDeleteAh thanks
ReplyDeleteNot known yet; some ratings pages are down and we're waiting for more to come up. Will be post ASAP
ReplyDeleteThey can burn it off on Saturdays, that would still count as "airing all episodes".
ReplyDeleteI still have till 29th for winter time. So will enjoy the ratings an hour early for the rest of the month.
ReplyDeleteOh okay. That makes total sense now. Because up until about 8 years ago Indiana didn't have DST either.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I guess the out could be they could air them all on Saturday.
ReplyDeletethough I wonder which show is going to replace it : maybe CSI (then a new show on February) ? I guess Elementary is going to be pushed at 10pm on Sunday...
ReplyDeleteThey tried it for like 2 years here but the electricity consumption actually increased, so they stopped doing it here.
ReplyDeleteRevenge: 1.1
ReplyDeleteGood for Once
ReplyDeleteIf that was the case, then the shows would be stable throughout spring when there is no more shifting. Yet they continue to decline throughout it. Look, I understand all the reasons why one argue the overruns are negative for these shows and it makes sense intuitively but the truth is just that data doesn't support that so the claim doesn't really have a basis.
ReplyDelete18-34 and 25-54 demo breakdown delayed. Will be brought in ASAP
ReplyDeletethanx good to see that its recovered a little
ReplyDeleteEverything is very confusing today, apparently the clocks messed up with all the rating sites lol.
ReplyDeleteLOL, what? I personally wish Indiana would go back to not changing times because I really hate it and it takes me a couple of weeks to adjust.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping for a 1.2 but that is passable I guess.
ReplyDeleteYep, it's really nice to see it isn't sub 1s anymore

ReplyDeleteya true. Anyway's I wasn't expecting much due to the lack of hype.
ReplyDeleteDaylight Savings are really good for messing up the ratings
ReplyDeleteespecially since there wasn't any hype about during the break
ReplyDeleteNot surprised with the ratings.
ReplyDeleteWinners: Once Upon a Time, Family Guy, The Last Man on Earth
ReplyDeleteHonorable Mention: The Simpsons
Very Worthy Week 2 Hold: Secrets and Lies
Losers: Bob's Burgers, Revenge, Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, Battle Creek, Dateline
I think there's always going to be two schools of thought, one that thinks overrun has an impact, and the other that thinks it doesn't. And like with every debate, there's evidence that can be manipulated to try to prove both cases. To me, the discussion is intriguing to have as both sides bring something unique to the table.
ReplyDeleteI think the bigger picture is that if CBS is going to attract a mainly upscale audience, it's going to have to expect older skewing shows and lower demos and figure out a way to monetize it and make it work. Right now, I'd be surprised if CBS is making that much of a profit on the night.
The 10PM timeslot looks really pathetic. I love Revenge, but winning at 1.1 just says how awful the landscape is
ReplyDeleteSunday night is a disaster...
ReplyDeleteI agree. Odyssey has a good opportunity to step up here.
ReplyDeleteSunday is the new Friday
ReplyDeleteWith AD as a lead in, I'd be surprised if it flopped. It should step up at least for its premiere. Its toughest competition will be The Talking Dead, which isn't the worst thing that can happen
ReplyDeleteTerrible night all around. CBS in particular looks awful. I don't like this.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about Revenge's return numbers is that it could have been worse but it wasn't. What was its demo rating before the break, 1.2?
ReplyDeleteAnd not too steep of a drop fro Secrets and Lies either. Good for them! Hopefully it stabilizes for next week onwards.
0.9
ReplyDeleteI know right, lol
ReplyDeleteAnd it took me a few weeks to get adjusted back then, too.
OUAT at 2.1 did alot better than ok..
ReplyDeleterevenge 1.1
I'm hoping Odyssey will do good as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Certainly brightened things up even for just a bit.
ReplyDeleteToo bad much of Revenge's audience are timeshifted. Can't blame them if the hour is highly trafficked on both broadcast and cable.
I really don't think AD is going to succeed. I think it's going to do bad, but we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI expected much worse, due to the lack of hype
ReplyDeleteOn another positive note for Revenge, it added about 1 million viewers compared to its previous episode.
ReplyDeleteA short final season seems less unlikely now; I'd give it a 35% chance which is way better than the previous 15% I gave it on January
Good: Once Upon a Time, Family Guy, TLMOE;
ReplyDeleteDecent: The Simpsons;
Mediocre: Secrets & Lies, Brooklyn Nine-Nine;
Improved, but still not decent: Revenge;
Ouch: The Good Wife, Madam Secretary;
Disaster: Battle Creek.
Me too. I've yet to caught up on the January episodes but it's been a very good season so far this year for me to not skip an instalment.
ReplyDeleteWith freshman it's really hard to tell: there's only a handful of cases when you can declare a certain winner - like The Flash and How to get away with Murder -, and then everything else can be a surprise.
ReplyDeleteI think AD is going to do good for NBC, but it may as well not. We'll have to wait and see
AC is a Great show, very similar to 80's & 90's shows like Hill Street Blues & Homicide: Life on the Street , Gritty & realistic, & no sugar coating
ReplyDeleteIf it could just tick up a couple tenths more, then a short season will be possible
ReplyDelete@James Clarke FYI you can see all ratings, for all shows and all episodes in the Ratings Database.
ReplyDeletewww.stvplus.com
If Revenge manages to end up the season with a 1.3 or a 1.2 I'd say the short final season is imminent; I honestly believe ABC wants to get the best syndication package out of it before saying goodbye to the show, and that comes with 100 episodes
ReplyDeleteIs this to me or to James Clarke? I'm sorry, not sure if you were referring to me. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteFrom 8 to 10PM FOX won with a 1.7 and ABC came in second with a 1.5
ReplyDeleteBut from 7 to 10, ABC won with a 1.5, while FOX sunk to a 1.3
Time to UNrenew MS - no way this series makes it to syndication. Cut your losses CBS
ReplyDeleteRevenge is up i am so Glad :)
ReplyDeleteIt's still good for OUAT but I hoped it rose like last year with a more dynamic episode. Hopefully the promo of episode 14 is for once really good (to me) so it may (not saying it will) attract more viewers. I'm not worried but as a fan and with a series like Once, I hoped it would rise a bit before the usual drop :)
ReplyDeleteOh well just saw the results it's really not a big decline that's cool :D
ReplyDeleteWow revenge actually hit 5 million in its first half hour :) I am happy
ReplyDeleteI was expecting much lower for Secrets & Lies.
ReplyDelete18-34 and 25-54 demo breakdown may not be seen until either the afternoon or tomorrow. There's nothing else to do but wait. Sorry guys.
ReplyDeleteI expected much worse, but glad to see it getting above a 1 again
ReplyDeleteI am not religious at all myself but I would not count out a faith based audience watching the show in large numbers. I do not think that audience is going to tune in at 10pm and watch Odyssey though.
ReplyDeleteGaia would did we say about panicing for OUAT renewal? It's sure for a 5th season and most likely for a 6th. So just breath and don't overthink.
ReplyDeleteIt held really well week to week.
ReplyDeleteYes. I mean, it had mediocre ratings, we can't say that were good. But at least, it seems that viewers are enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteTVBTN reports that Revenge got a 1.0
ReplyDeleteI would straight up place Madam Secretary and the good wife under disaster.
ReplyDeleteIt has fine ratings.
ReplyDeleteI would say mediocre at best.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably a 1.05 again which people are averaging in different ways. We'll know when finals come out.
ReplyDeleteI read that this is usual for CBS
ReplyDeleteThey're disappointing for ABC, but they're not horrible.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is.
ReplyDeleteI guess the 750 thousand people who tuned out after OUAT were only 18-49... Ugh.
ReplyDeleteNo, is is far from usual.
ReplyDeleteNo, it is not.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite fascinating to see Revenge winning on broadcast with a 1.1! Battle Creek should be ashamed of the ratings, that 10pm slot really could have been taken easily against weak competition.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen last week's ratings. I'm pretty sure it's a sign of things to come.
ReplyDeleteBattle Creek had incompatible lead-ins.
ReplyDeleteIt actually got a 1 I'm afraid. There was a rounding error which we've fixed
ReplyDeleteSorry, posted before I finished my sentence! I meant to say usual in that CBS ratings usually rise in Jan Feb, especially those shows not up against the voice etc, but then plummet Spring time - a mix of DST and more competion. Shoyldnt affect CBS on Suns so much tho. Be interesting to see how the CBS shows do tonight. I think there'll be a noticeable drop all round
ReplyDeleteits a 1.0 now
ReplyDeleteIn fact, mediocre is not horrible ;)
ReplyDeletehappy for your revenge & thanks. A question : I need help , where can I find ratings for WGN? I need Salem ratings & Elementary s4 for next year... I don't know where to look. Need to be updated exspecially next year bc I love Elementary & I hope it'll stay beyond s4
ReplyDeleteSadly, it seems like Revenge did get a 1.0. The initial confusion with the 1.1 was due to the half hours. It'll be corrected right away
ReplyDeleteRevenge's ratings corrected: the half hours were misleading, the show got a 1.0
ReplyDeleteYes, I have. And things are not looking well for CBS on Sunday. But your comment "I'm pretty sure it's a sign of things to come." is overblown and suggest that you have something against these CBS shows or the network in general.
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently JC's comment wasn't complete.
When is the last time a 10pm Sunday show brought in good ratings? I don't remember Sunday's being this bad before.
ReplyDeleteWell, on the bright side I expected something like a 0.8.
ReplyDeleteResurrection's first season. And OUAT from Septmeber to November
