  • 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 Monday Ratings

    Monday 5/18/15

    Household
    Rating/Share
    ABC 6.7/11
    NBC 6.0/10
    CBS 5.1/ 8
    Fox 2.4/ 4
    CW 0.4/ 1

    -Percent Change from the Year-Ago Oscar Evening – Monday 5/19/14
    CBS: +31, NBC: – 6, ABC: -13, CW: -33, Fox: -45

    ———-

    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:
    “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC), “The Voice” (NBC), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS)

    -Respectable Return:
    “The Bachelorette” (ABC)

    -Losers (excluding repeats):
    “The Following” (Fox), “The Night Shift” (NBC)

    ———-

    Ratings Breakdown:
    ABC opened the week on another winning overnight note care of “Dancing With the Stars,” but the home of “The Voice,” NBC, is the network to beat in the key young adult demographics. The final “Dancing With the Stars” performance show of the spring season topped the evening with a 10.2 rating/16 share in households from 8-9 p.m. (go Rumer Willis!), and it led into the two-hour season-premiere of perennial summer ABC occupant “The Bachelorette” at a 5.1/ 8 from 9-11 p.m. Comparably, “The Bachelorette” was right on par with the year-ago season-opener, and that 5.1 rating in the overnights translated into 7.17 million viewers and a 2.0 rating/ 6 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live Plus Same Day data).

    On NBC, part one of the live season-finale of “The Voice” jumped 13 percent week to week with a 7.2/11 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. Comparably, this was its top metered market household rating since March 30. Next on the Peacock net was the sophomore season-finale of medical drama “The Night Shift” at a distant third-place 3.3/ 6 at 10 p.m., which slipped by 55 percent from the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (and did not earn its third season renewal).

    Both “Dancing With the Stars” and “The Voice” conclude for the season tonight.

    CBS featured three season finales and the series-finale of freshman drama “Stalker.” Sitcoms “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 5.0/ 8 at 8 p.m.) and “Mike & Molly” (#2: 5.3/ 8 at 8:30 p.m.), which will return at an undisclosed date in 2015-16, were slightly above typical overnights. “Stalker” ended its run with a third-place 4.5/ 7 from 9-10 p.m., and it led into the season-ending installment of “NCIS: Los Angeles” at a dominant 5.9/10 at 10 p.m. While moving from Tuesday (out of parent “NCIS”) did cost “NCIS: Los Angeles” viewers this season, it was a clear improvement over anything the Eye net has aired in the Monday 10 p.m. hour in recent seasons.

    Over at Fox were two episodes (including the series finale) of three year-old drama “The Following,” which earned its cancellation stripes at an average 2.4/ 4 from 8-10 p.m. And The CW capped off the evening with 2012 theatrical “Celeste and Jesse Forever” with Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg at a mere 0.4/ 1 in the overnights from 8-10 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.

  1. Why is he now writing random stuff between the paragraphs? How random

    ReplyDelete
  2. Thanks for all the random babble Marc

  3. "“The Night Shift” at a distant third-place 3.3/ 6 at 10 p.m., which
    slipped by 55 percent from the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (and did
    not earn its third season renewal)."

    Major ouch. If I'm NBC, I'm very concerned. This will likely translate into another low 1.2 or 1.3 after night one of The Voice's two hour finale. I have to agree with TVMediaInsights here, this show did not earn its renewal. It's going under 1.0 when it returns, and that simply isn't good enough, regardless of how many times Sony attempts to package it.

    ReplyDelete
  4. wait i thought it was renewed for season 3

    ReplyDelete
  5. Anyone know where I can find the ratings for Mad Men's finale on Sunday?

    ReplyDelete
  6. the night shift was renewed for season 3, not cancelled

    ReplyDelete
  7. It was. Airdate to be determined.

    ReplyDelete
  8. The HH is on par with the season premiere and an increase from last week's total. The rest is your continual Night Shift bashing, which is not only baseless, but the reason why you were banned by TV By The Numbers. I know you are bitter it received a third season, but get over it.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I've noticed he likes to put his opinions on renewals/cancellations more with the ratings analysis. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's more difficult to read through.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Most likely it will head back to summer where it was doing alright.

    ReplyDelete
  11. If NBC makes a profit on it, which the reduced licensee fee from Sony should ensure, why should they be concerned? It will more likely fill in a summer timeslot for them and they call it a day. What is the problem?

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't think they've been released yet

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thanks, I was wondering if that might be the case, I did a bit of digging but couldn't find anything.

    ReplyDelete
  14. The HH's were a 3.7/6. And please learn to not take things personal as you have been told multiple times.

    ReplyDelete
  15. He's been doing that type of thing all season, that's nothing new. I was talking more about the random things he has thrown in that don't seem to have anything to do with anything, like "bachelorette2015" and "taylor-swift-sam-smith".

    ReplyDelete
  16. There's no proof they do make a profit off it. If they could, why package it?

    ReplyDelete
  17. There's not. As XYZ was told every week he complained about The Night Shift, and its renewal, before getting the axe from TV By The Numbers... it would not fall below a 1.0 because it has yet to do so in stand alone episodes, the latest being the 10 pm Tuesday episode. Also, it was renewed because it is above NBC's scripted average and a valuable low cost player. However, XYZ feels the need to repeat his rant every week.

    ReplyDelete
  18. 3.3/6 and 3.7/6 are on par. And your last statement is the reason why you've been banned on multiple boards. I bring this up so that when you are no longer able to post here, you don't create another name wondering why.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I'm not banned anywhere. Jacos, please stop. You are again taking things personal and we shouldn't have to flag all of your immature posts ranting against users. That's not allowed.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yes, good idea. I have definitely flagged all of your posts XYZ and I suggest others do the same.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Exactly. Which is why I asked XYZ to stop with his show trolling. It is causing confusion needlessly.

    ReplyDelete
  22. A18-49 1.08
    Viewers 3.287m

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh i was more speaking about the article being incorrect in saying it did not earn a season 3 renewal

    ReplyDelete
  24. Sorry, that was my bad. Something spurious happened when I pasted it in.


    Should be back to "normal" now :)

    ReplyDelete
  25. When you realize only thre of these shows are oming back in the fall, and only one of those is scripted.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I noticed that also. I'm guessing he does it for page clicks. Take a popular term and if you google search it, his article will show up.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Of course they're profitable, they wouldn't be on the air if not. Sony packages it to make even more profit, that's kind of obvious. For some reason I can't press enter to make another paragraph, so I'm gonna continue here. NBC MUST be getting any profit out of those shows if they're still on the air and renewing them, and that should be extremely clear given that all of them are from other studios so NBC won't get anything from syndication. Hannibal has a wide high-income audience, Laura skews old, but it must be in the same range as the other Wednesday dramas and I think TNS has a nice male audience, so there you go some reasons to make profit.

    ReplyDelete
  28. He has a serious fixation with any NBC show that does not come from Wolf Films. That's it.

    ReplyDelete
  29. "Sony packages it to make even more profit, that's kind of obvious"


    My take is that packages occur to share the license fee across multiple properties to absorb any loses within a singular property. Basically, by itself the show wouldn't be worth continuing, but if they think something else will make a multiplier, they will balance it with the other.


    Community is a good example. That's exactly what happened as it wasn't profitable but they had The Blacklist.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Is this Jacos again? Why exactly do we need to attack personally on stuff that isn't true? Can't we just stick to ratings?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Final warning to all 3 of you.

    @Eduardo @XYZ and Jacos.

    Stop with the personal comments/attacks. That will NOT be tolerated any longer. If you disagree with someone either ignore their comment or state why you disagree without resorting to personal attacks.

    This is the last time I will warn any of you.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Did the following and Stalker have a Conclusion or did both of them sadly end on a cliffhanger that we will never see :( ?

    ReplyDelete
  33. "This is the last time I will warn any of you."


    Understood. I'll take the ignore option. It's better for all.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Best to ask in the appropriate posts

    and

    ReplyDelete
  35. NBCUniversal had a share in Community (I don't know if they still do), but they have nothing on TNS, Laura or Hannibal. They must be making some profit out of those to keep airing/renewing them.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Romeo Carlos YotatMay 19, 2015 at 3:19 PM

    Stalker ended with cliffhanger sadly thx CBS

    ReplyDelete
  37. Bye bye Stalker and The Following.

    ReplyDelete
  38. By "earn", he means that the ratings didn't warrant a renewal.

    ReplyDelete
  39. NBC will have a bunch of duds returning next season. How sad for them.

    ReplyDelete
  40. they really do,
    ABC has some (but they really didn't need them)

    ReplyDelete
  41. If you are thinking about the night shift, I seriously doubt we see it before summer (maybeee Sunday Spring, but even that I doubt it).

    Laura, on the other hand...........

    ReplyDelete
  42. NBC is going to rapid fire though the midseason replacements. We should do an over/under on many actually air before the end of November.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Considering they are the same crazy network who is letting American Odyssey sub 0.5 air through Sweeps and that allowed A to Z and Bad Judge to stay on the schedule until deep January... I don't see any reason to believe they would be pulling shows. It's almost a miracle that they pulled Allegiance.

    ReplyDelete
  44. At least they serve some purpose for ABC. Nashville is close to syndication and has musical sales. Galavant also has music sales and American Crime has critical acclaim. TMoL and TNS have nothing. Why NBC scheduled TMoL in the fall is beyond me.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Well, NBC scheduled TMoL in the fall so you never know.

    ReplyDelete
  46. It's almost like Allegiance was treated unfairly.

    ReplyDelete
  47. one of the dumbest move of the new season behind not using Empire as a lead in

    ReplyDelete
  48. And not moving Nashville. Oddly, all of the above are on Wednesday, haha.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I agree in that I'm shocked Allegiance hasn't been pulled. Then again, the trend has been for all networks to air their underachievers throughout their entire order.

    ReplyDelete
  50. yup not moving nashville too

    ReplyDelete
  51. Did ask on the following there but still no answer sadly

    ReplyDelete
  52. That's the writer's fault. Being the only new drama not to get a 2nd season renewal should have been telling.

    ReplyDelete
  53. The following: 1.0

    ReplyDelete
  54. The night shift: 1.2

    ReplyDelete
  55. Very good for DWTS The Bachelorette The Voice and 2 Broke Girls.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think you mean Odyssey.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The Bachelorette did really well. Hopefully the whispers can premiere ok behind it, although they really look incompatible

    ReplyDelete
  58. TMoL and TNS have something...lower budgets than AD/American Odyssey

    ReplyDelete
  59. That's what worries me the most; The Bachelorette has a crazy high 18-34 viewing levels, it should be able to give some of them to The Whispers. 60% retention would be fine, but the incompatibility issue does worry a bit

    ReplyDelete
  60. wow... the Bachelorette did do very well. A 2.1 at 10 pm is astounding.

    ReplyDelete
  61. 2 Bachlorettes was an ingenious twist as it sparked outside interest from those who probably wouldn't watch the show.

    ReplyDelete
  62. The Voice did nicely.

    ReplyDelete
  63. What did 2BG did to get shoved into midseason?And if Angel from Hell flops gets pulled (which won't be any sooner than late November or early December), that's only one slot to air 3 midseason comedies. And 2 of those comedies have full season orders. Unless Supergirl premieres DOA ( which is very, very, very unlikely) and they have to restore the Monday at 8 comedy block.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Have you gotten a confirmation that those broke girls and mike and molly indeed have 22 episodes while the odd couple has 13? I too think that is likely but I have yet to see it confirmed

    ReplyDelete
  65. I'm so glad 2 Broke Girls went up 4 tenths from the previous episode. It was really starting to scare me.

    ReplyDelete
  66. It's an assumption atm. We will probably find out during the summer TCA press tour.

    ReplyDelete
  67. ABC was supposed to use NBA finals to launch The Whispers but I wonder what happened to that plan.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Still unscheduled.

    ReplyDelete
  69. How is that related?

    ReplyDelete
  70. That not really an incentive.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Because it is unscheduled, I really have no idea why.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I wish they did, NBA finals would have been an amazing platform to launch a male skewing show. I wonder why they didn't do that, it made much more sense than launching it out of The Bachelorette

    ReplyDelete
  73. It amazes me how much CBS plays favorites.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I assume you are talking about Stalker.

    ReplyDelete
  75. What happened so that The CW isn't included?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Well, CBS doesn't own Life in Pieces and they are still airing it after TBBT in the fall.

    ReplyDelete
  77. They are benching higher performing comedies for a bunch of failing dramas.

    ReplyDelete
  78. In which way specifically, Bill 2?

    ReplyDelete
  79. I know its all about producion ompany, but the Monday comedies got benched with double the ratings as the renewed Sunday dramas.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Ah. I agree, Bill 2.

    ReplyDelete
  81. anyone know half hours?

    ReplyDelete
  82. ah, that makes sense. thanks for the clarification!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Yeah, it's baffling for me too. I hope it gets 22 eps though.

    ReplyDelete
  84. They didn't air new shows, TO and JtV finales were last week. I guess they had some repeats.

    ReplyDelete
  85. The Voice-2.5/2.5/2.6/2.7
    DWTS-2.1/2.3
    The Bachelorette-2.2/2.1/2.1/2.0
    Stalker-1.3/1.2
    NCIS: LA-1.5/1.4
    The Following-1.0/0.9/0.9/0.9

    ReplyDelete
  86. Good 2 BGs rose

    ReplyDelete
  87. Still, they always include repeats and stuff...
