  • 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.

    Metered Market Wednesday Ratings

    Wednesday 5/13/15

    Household
    Rating/Share
    Fox 6.2/10
    CBS 4.7/ 8
    NBC 4.6/ 8
    ABC 4.3/ 7
    CW 1.8/ 3

    -Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Wednesday 5/14/14:
    NBC: +31, CW: +12, Fox: + 3, ABC: + 2, CBS: -25

    ———-

    -Ratings Breakdown:
    Two-hours of “American Idol” led Fox to victory, with a 6.2 rating/10 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was right on par from one year earlier. But, as announced earlier this week, “American Idol” will be concluding next season. And the perfect scenario would be for original judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul to return. Stay tuned.

    “Survivor” on CBS opened the night with a second-place 5.5/ 9 from 8-9 p.m., which was seven percent below the 5.9/10 one week earlier. But it will still be enough to clearly beat competing “American Idol” in adults 18-49 (and the other key demos). While not the best season, “Survivor” is always an addiction. And it led into two episodes (including the season finale) of “CSI: Cyber” at a fourth-place 4.3/ 7 in the 9 p.m. hour and a third-place 4.3/ 7 at 10 p.m. While CBS would like you to believe returning “CSI” Cyber” is a hit it is not…at least not yet. And the network is hoping the arrival of Ted Danson (from canceled parent “CSI”) next season will help.

    ABC, which will remain intact on Wednesday next season, featured a night of season finales as follows:

    ABC/Wednesday
    8:00 p.m. “The Middle”: 4.7/ 8 (#3)
    8:30 p.m. “The Goldbergs”: 4.4/ 7 (#3)
    9:00 p.m. “Modern Family”: 5.6/ 9 (#2)
    9:30 p.m. “black-ish”: 4.0/ 6 (#4)
    10:00 p.m. “Nashville”: 3.7/ 6 (#3)

    NBC also aired season-finale installments of “The Mysteries of Laura” (#4: 4.3/ 7), “Law & Order: SVU” (#3: 4.8/ 8) and “Chicago PD” (#1: 4.6/ 8), which will be on a brief hold until November when variety hour “Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris” steps in. And The CW closed the night with the season finale episodes of “Arrow” (#5: 2.2/ 4) and “Supernatural” (#5: 1.4/ 2).

  • 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.

  1. Marc is mistaken. It wasn't the season finale of Chicago PD, and it isn't going on hiatus for Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris. That's Chicago Fire.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Chicago PD and SVU will air their finales next week. And Fire is the one coming back in November, not PD.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Marc check your facts
    NPH show is Tuesday

    Why CSI Cyber got renewed really beats me.

    ReplyDelete
  5. See what you did with ABC there Marc, neat and tidy layout with no unnecessary wording or biased opinions, why can't you do that all the time?

    ReplyDelete
  6. And there's also a new episode of Modern Family next week.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Marc is known for making these kinds of mistakes

    ReplyDelete
  8. Even though I wasn't that much of a fan of last night's Arrow's finale, I'm happy to see it went up :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Last week 2.0 turned out to be 1.0, so let's hope this week 2.2 is enough for 1.1

    ReplyDelete
  10. Is it true that Arrow was pre-empted in Chicago? I saw people talking about that on Tumblr.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I believe CW was preempted in Chicago for baseball last night. Was it both Arrow and SPN or just SPN?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Same here. Not the way I wanted it to end, or better said no the way I wanted to reach this end.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Kudos to American Idol for its finale being on par from one year earlier. Who would have expected that?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Honestly, how does someone running ratings reports mix up Chicago Fire and Chicago PD? They've been at the same timeslot the whole season.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Last night's Supernatural episode was a doozy. FINALLY Dean unchained. We've been promised all season and it finally happened. But preempted so numbers will be bad. :(

    ReplyDelete
  16. I think the comparison was to the 5/13/14 episode, not the finale. I think the finale got a 6.9

    ReplyDelete
  17. Baseball is not affecting it too much, 0.1 will drop, no more. 1.4 seems like pretty decent to have a room for drop. Hoping for 0.7 in the finale.
    What will affect it -Arrow finale 3 min overran. So here we go, 2 adjustments down coming.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Agreed. I hate how biased Marc is against every show.
    A list of each show's HH ratings like ABCs above is perfect and a possible column comparing it to the previous weeks/episode HH rating would be perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The Middle and Modrn Family look low :(

    CSI Cyber is gonna die on Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  20. CSI: Cyber to Sundays was one of the worst moves the networks made. It was clearly put there to try to limp it along to syndication, but it's not going to find an audience.

    ReplyDelete
  21. PerryGoGrrr 💛May 14, 2015 at 2:39 PM

    Modern Family, Blackish, Chicago PD, and SVU were not finales.
    Also PD is not being held till November, Fire is...

    ReplyDelete
  22. Just checked.mlastvyear's finale got a 5.7/9 and the day before, got a 6.0/10

    ReplyDelete
  23. Come on Agents of shield... oh wait :'( gotta wait till september :'( :D

    ReplyDelete
  24. Code Black and MS will be the first two dramas pulled on CBS. How MS can continue, I have no idea. Code Black looks DOA.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Miss SupernaturalMay 14, 2015 at 2:51 PM

    Yeah, I was going to say that. Arrow overran big time last night, plus the preemptions, I'll be happy if it could get a 0.6 again.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm not used to this type of quite Rating news. Something bad will happen (he said with a very deep voice)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Yep, much higher. I was expecting much better

    ReplyDelete
  28. Miss SupernaturalMay 14, 2015 at 2:54 PM

    It does... :(

    ReplyDelete
  29. So the Nielsen data recording was set at 9.03 for SPN? Please let it be truth.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Let's hope this is one of these cases in which HH is misleading

    ReplyDelete
  31. MF and blackish finales are next week.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Come On, Laura.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Jensen knocked it out of the park last night. It's sad that I'm hoping for a meagre 0.7. Deserves so much more.

    ReplyDelete
  34. ARGH AND ONCE AGAIN I CAN't SEE ANYTHING. THIS USE TO WORK ON TABLETS.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What exactly can't you see? Shouting in ALL CAPS does not help.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It works perfectly fine on my tablet.

    ReplyDelete
  37. On my Dish DVR it said SPN starts a 8.05 pm then I think SPN went a few minutes over its times.

    ReplyDelete
  38. season finale of modern family will be next week actually

    ReplyDelete
  39. My DVR seemed to know about it. Fingers crossed – this HH number is so improved over last week; I would hate for the end result to be the same.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I was just about to say this! Another school boy error from Marc there!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm almost afraid to know Arrow's and the Middle's ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Was very dumb airing their season finales last night instead of next week

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ugh! Then it should take a big hit on the ratings, right? :S

    ReplyDelete
  44. It was pre-empted on Chicago... :(

    ReplyDelete
  45. Arrow: 1.0
    Supernatural: 0.8

    ReplyDelete
  46. The Middle: 1.7
    The Golbergs: 2.0
    Modern Family: 2.7
    Black-Ish 2.1
    Nashville: 1.3

    ReplyDelete
  47. The Middle 1.7

    The Goldbergs 2.0

    Modern Family 2.7

    Blackish 2.1

    Nashville 1.3

    ReplyDelete
  48. Survivor: 2.2
    CSI: Cyber: 1.2

    ReplyDelete
  49. That's low for MF isn't it?

    Nashville is looking good though.

    ReplyDelete
  50. So Arrow 1.1 and SPN 0.7? I can live this that. Pls keep this 0.7!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Laura: 1.0
    L&O: 1.5
    Chicago PD: 1.6

    ReplyDelete
  52. A 1.0 demo. Knowing it was pre-empted on Chicago, it doesn't sound that bad! Hopefully, it will adjust up to 1.1 in the finals.


    With a 1.0 is already the most watched Arrow Finale yet out of the three.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Great recovery for SVU.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Too high for Arrow. That finale was horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Arrow is most likely not adjusting up, not if it was indeed preempted.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I hope Arrow adjusts up. But 1.0 is not bad.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Low ratings all around

    ReplyDelete
  58. Glad Arrow did well. An upwards adjustment with those half hours is unlikely but even at 1.0, this is the highest rated finale ever for the show, so it is awesome by me.


    What happened with ABC? The bottom of the hour comedies look good but the middle and modern family look weak, especially the middle.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Highest rated finale ever for the show

    ReplyDelete
  60. Good for the CW!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Waiting for half-hours. Pls!

    ReplyDelete
  62. NBC and CW had good nights!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Is it possible idol played a role?

    ReplyDelete
  64. CBS replaced CM with Cyber

    ReplyDelete
  65. That is cool. I hope we get this good ratings next season. Ratings wise this season was awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Were there any preemptions? I'm really good with these numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It is low enough for that to be unlikely I think, but who knows

    ReplyDelete
  68. Indeed, no other dramas was up this much!

    ReplyDelete
  69. oh that would explain a lot!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Cyber is very weak, a 1.2 out of a 2.2 is very disappointing

    ReplyDelete
  71. How could NBC renew MoL with such numbers D:
    Arrow's ratings were expected.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Laura actually looks stronger than Cyber here. It aired in the lower viewed hour with local programming lead-in. Cyber aired at 9 with a 2.2 lead-in and it only did 0.2 better.

    ReplyDelete
  73. They renewed it just for 13 episodes, I think it's going to be cancelled next year

    ReplyDelete
  74. Why was Laura renewed again? Those are not good ratings...at all.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I wonder why ABC has never done live shows or crossover with their comedies (I guess cuz they are different studios)

    ReplyDelete
  76. Predictions based con HH ratings anyone? I'm not too good predicting ratings based on HH.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Miss SupernaturalMay 14, 2015 at 4:11 PM

    I'll be so happy if it does!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Miss SupernaturalMay 14, 2015 at 4:12 PM

    I agree, he really, really did. Jensen was great!

    And Jared, too. He made me cry like a baby.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I know its weird by im glad to see ratings down as it shows this time of year ratings are at its worst. Makes me feel better (slightly better) with AOS ratings yesterday.

    ReplyDelete
  80. They have an interview with Maria later, can't wait to hear what she has to say about the show and Octavia.

    ReplyDelete
  81. really? for the best season finale, The Middle just got 1.7? Dissapointed! (Though, 1.7 is not bad)

    ReplyDelete
  82. CW had preemptions in Chicago.

    ReplyDelete
  83. That makes sense then haha

    ReplyDelete
  84. Nashville steady all right !

    ReplyDelete
  85. Why CBS renewed Cyber is beyond me. It's not doing well on Wednesdays or Tuesdays, since these episodes are its fourth and fifth 1.2 in a row. Stalker did better you know, it only hit a 1.2 once. And now Cyber is being sent to Sundays where it won't pull anything higher than 1.2. The only reason I can think of why it was renewed are international sales.

    ReplyDelete
  86. CSI: Cyber will reach syndication at the same time Undateable will.

    Never.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Great for SVU/PD. PD might end up #1 on the week. We'll have to see how The Blacklist performs tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Because at the last second, Greenblatt decided against the negative PR of cancelling all freshman shows. If season zero is to be believed, they drafted a schedule without it. The problem with Laura is it is not funneling viewers into Wednesday which is causing the results for all the night's shows to have reduced returns.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I agree. Wednesday has to be a major concern as the entire night is returning in the fall.

    ReplyDelete
  90. CBS is just concerned about international sales even if the show goes sub 1's. CSI: Cyber did absolutely horrible with every strong lead in from Criminal Minds, NCIS: NO and Survivor. How in the heck does it lose a full ratings point out of Survivor. And I don't think adding Ted Danson is going to change its fortune.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Chicago PD will win its hour in the Fall as well.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Survivor and ABC comedies did really well. I do feel The Middle only has 1 year left in the tank. And then The Goldbergs will be ready to lead off the night in its 4th season.

    ReplyDelete
  93. *sighs in relief* thank you. Those are actually very good. Let's just hope they stay the same or adjust up.

    ReplyDelete
  94. You think Nashville is looking good. Nashville pulled in the same demo Revenge garnered for its series finale. It really should be on its way out as well. And definitely should not be able to keep its timeslot. Its is as if ABC just surrender its 10pm timeslot because they are satisfy with the 2 hour comedy block.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Arrow!

    Supernatural!

    FANTASTIC numbers!!

    ReplyDelete
  96. If the CW was pre empted in Chicago are those numbers going to go down? Especially for Arrow???

    ReplyDelete
  97. Where did you see halfs?

    ReplyDelete
  98. I think Supernatural will be more likely to adjust down, but both are still very likely. They're both probably a weak 1.0 and a weak 0.8.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I don't exactly call a 2.7 for Modern Family (2nd lowest ever if it holds) as doing well (even though it's the highest number of the night). And without a major story in the works for next week's finale (save for a possible Haley/Andy resolution, or maybe if Mitch's layoff blows up into something dramatic) I don't see the finale getting much of a bump. Yes it's sort of moot for this season since it's been renewed, but I wonder if next season could see the show on the bubble.

    ReplyDelete
  100. You dislike the trailers? Apparently ABC has been promoting it A LOT!

    ReplyDelete
  101. Lucky you man! It worked fine like 3ish weeks ago ?? Now it's like.... White space. Sighs.

    ReplyDelete
  102. It stayed at 1.0 and SPN at 0.7. Really happy for Arrow!!!

    ReplyDelete
  103. Ambar Moreno CandelasMay 15, 2015 at 10:39 PM

    Great Supernatural!!! :D Best show ever!! ♥
