Ratings Breakdown:
It was all about ABC last night care of the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Golden State Warriors on game one of the NBA Finals. Keeping in mind that results for any live sporting event are always approximate, the game one match-up (Warriors 108, Cavaliers 100) averaged an ample 12.9 rating/23 share in the household overnights in the 8 p.m.–12 a.m. block. Comparably, that was 28 percent above the 10.1/18 for Miami Heat at the San Antonio Spurs on the year-ago evening. And that game translated into 14.24 million viewers and a 5.7 rating/18 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data).
Earlier in the evening on ABC (and also estimated) was an 8-8:30 p.m. edition of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” at a 3.2/ 6 in the overnights (#4), followed by the NBA Countdown at a 4.6/ 8 (#2) at 8:30 p.m. Needless to say, ABC will easily dominate in the national ratings this week.
In season premiere news, NBC drama “Hannibal” was left at the starting gate (which is nothing unusual, unfortunately) with a mere 1.8/ 3 in the household overnights (#3) in the 10 p.m. hour. Comparably, that dipped from week two (and episode three) of the 9:30 p.m. portion of lead-in drama “Aquarius” (2.6/ 4) by 31 percent, and it trailed an encore of CBS’ competing “Elementary” (#2: 3.1/ 5) by 42 percent. Overall, “Aquarius” averaged a 2.9/ 5 in the 9 p.m. hour, which was a loss of a hefty 29 percent from the 4.1/ 7 two episode opener one week earlier. And that resulted in 5.67 million viewers and a 1.1 rating/4 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data). As a reminder, most new network series drop by 10 to 20 percent in week two.
In the 8 p.m. hour on NBC was veteran “Dateline” at a dominant 4.6/ 8 from 8-9 p.m.
On CBS from 8-10 p.m. were encore telecasts of sitcoms “The Big Bang Theory” (#1: 5.1/ 9), “The Odd Couple” (#3: 3.7/ 6), “Mom” (#2: 3.8/ 6) and “Mike & Molly” (#2: 3.6/ 6).
Elsewhere, Fox dramas “Bones” (#4: 3.5/ 6) and “Wayward Pines” (#3: 3.0/ 5) were consistent from one week earlier. Worth positively noting for quirky “Wayward Pines” was overnight growth of 43 percent from failed year-ago time period occupant “Gang Related” (2.1/ 3 on 6/05/14). And The CW populated the evening with repeats of dramas “iZombie” (#5: 0.6/ 1) and “The Vampire Diaries” (#5: 0.4/ 1).

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.

Hopefully WP holds the demo too though it feels really unlikely with NBA against it.
ReplyDeleteSad for the amazing Aquarius and Hannibal :/
Will the almighty Sony move Hannibal to an online plataform?
ReplyDeleteGreat show, Nielsen eyeballs to busy watching other things and unfortunately, it faces the NBA finals from the start.
ahh no Aquarius :/
ReplyDeleteOuch for NBC
ReplyDeleteHopefully Wayward stays above a 1
I think Hannibal is too dark for most viewers of network TV. It's such a great show. Mads Mikkelson, Hugh Dancy and Gillian Anderson are just perfect for this.
ReplyDeleteI think NBC will renew it regardless but if they dont, then i trust the sony gods!
ReplyDeleteMale skewing shows against NBA Finals is always a bad idea. NBC should have known better.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, NBC will renew Hannibal. Ratings aren't a factor as NBC is just using it for critical fervor.
Horrible results for both Hannibal and Aquarius. Although, as Berman pointed out, not completely unsurprising.. NBC surely expected more with its "catch up" Hannibal promotion.
ReplyDeleteNBC's horrible week, sans Ninja Warrior and AGT which increased, continues. The Island, I Can Do That, Hannibal, and Aquarius took huge hits into cancellation territory. Or at least it should be as certainly, they can do better, even in the summer.
I hope wayward pines stays steady. I will watch tonight. I have really been loving that show! So excellent and creepy. Last episode i even jumped once because of what happened
ReplyDeletePremiering a show against NBA finals? Really not that smart.
ReplyDeleteBesides that solid numbers for iZombie return.
I Can do that is safe as long as its behind AGT
ReplyDeleteAnywhere else it would die
* rerun ;)
ReplyDeleteIt probably will decline in the demos. I'm sure there's some crossover audience between that and NBA Finals.
ReplyDeleteTo me, what's shocking is that there isn't as single FOX show in summer that will break a 1.5 this week. Even in summer, that's a real cause of concern. FOX is the home of a bunch of crumbling summer options and scripted shows that haven't found a wide audience. Hopefully for their sake, viewers will sample anything outside of Empire. Or it's a long season ahead.
yeah that ^^
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to tennis while reading the news.
That sounds terrible for hannibal. Oh NBC. Hopefully you have a better year starting September
ReplyDeleteThat's the problem though, in week 2 its already below The Night Shift in demo and viewership. And we know its extended data. If it has to be protected, then IMO, its not needed. As AGT could be, and should be, used to launch something else next year.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any numbers why are people saying Hannibal did horribly?!?! I'm getting worried. There's no way that top 5 demo thing is right. No way a repeat of iZombie beats Hannibal in the demo.
ReplyDeleteI still waiting for the Sony gods to save Happy Endings...
ReplyDeleteNo numbers have been released. Hannibal earned a 1.8/3 in HHs but as we know from history, it skews young. So it's very likely demo skewing.
ReplyDelete-Winners:
ReplyDeleteNBA Finals, Game 1 (ABC)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Aquarius” (NBC), “Hannibal” (NBC)
I only know Hannibal used to be pretty safe(I don't know why, though), but these ratings here seem unbearably low, so I'd love it if someone would explain to me why I shouldn't be worried, because I am freaking out right now. I love this show.
ReplyDeleteMe too, i will never get why they save everything but my beloved happy ending
ReplyDeleteMost people assume that it being a Sony show and a co production, the licensee fee that NBC pays is very low, resulting in it being possible for them to break even and make some profit on the show
ReplyDeleteIt did run against the NBA finals.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Aquarius decreased around 30% and registered a .9 in the last portion. With Hannibal being below the HH, unless it skews unusually high in the demo which its not its history, its results will be well below that.
ReplyDeleteAquarius and Hannibal did horrible, I finally found out that there is a XFiles crossover between these shows (Samson and Bedelia), shame for Hannibal its an amazing show, maybe one of the most quality on broadcast now.
ReplyDeleteIf demos hold,great for FOX.
I am going to start S2 of Hannibal , how does it ocmpare to S1, S1 was great for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's superior
ReplyDeleteDid ABC promoted any new show with a special ad related to the NBA like they did with Rising Star last year? What shows where promoted last night during the game?
ReplyDeleteThanks, just wow!
ReplyDeleteHannibal is safe either way. It's airing in the summer which means lower expectations, it's a cheap show to produce, has critical acclaim, etc.
ReplyDeleteDoing really great for 4/9 hours, passable for 2/9 hours (dateline and i can do that), meh for 1 hour (the island) and potentially bad for 2/9 hours (thursday dramas), not to even mention wednesday night isnt bad at all
ReplyDeleteI know The Muppets was.
ReplyDeleteIt is far bettet
ReplyDeleteOf course they will promote their biggest new show. How do you think The Muppets rates for the pilot?
ReplyDeleteHopefully Bones didn't actually go down in demos.
ReplyDeleteI think pretty high.
ReplyDelete... the four hours doing great is the two hour blocks of AGT and Ninja Warrior... which I mentioned above.
ReplyDeleteYes but when that is almost half of the 3 entertainment program days and the other hours arent disasters it really doesnt make sense to say they are doing bad overall
ReplyDeleteI can understand Hannibal's low ratings. The show looks great but I fell asleep during several scenes of last night's episode. After watching Wayward Pines last night, Hannibal was boring in comparison. It moves to slow. I think this upcoming season may be its last.
ReplyDeleteOn the contrary, AGT and ANW are established properties, that have been successful in the past. Its unsurprising that their success is continuing and highlighting the disappointing results of its lead-outs. You can't say both are doing great, which I agree with you, while failing to recognize the under-performance of its lead-outs. And as or Thursday, both going fractional is not good. At all. I'm a little confused, though, about your Wednesday statement as NBC showed hockey and next week are repeats.
ReplyDeleteThe Muppets/Blood & Oil/Quantico/The Whispers
ReplyDeleteDo you feel this is possibly the last season of So You Think You Can Dance?
ReplyDeleteAlready forgot about that Blood and Oil promo lol.
ReplyDeleteI don't feel it is anymore dark or violent than The Following. It is just painfully slow moving. It is much more an achievement in cinematography. It is so visual and artistic that it makes you feel the show is of importance. The actors are fine. There is a lot of dialogue but not enough action so it doesn't feel like the story is progressing.
ReplyDeleteSeason 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>Season 1.Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSeason 1 was amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteI wish SpoilerTV would post them here.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great show and I love Melissa Leo's performance. You will enjoy last night's episode as well. Hope Davis is terrific.
ReplyDeleteJust watched the premiere of Hannibal.While i love the show to death,that episode was boring.The cinematography was exceptional but the narrative was way too slow,even for the show.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved it and I can't wait for the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteI feel exactly the same way. I will be watching Under the Dome when it premieres at the end of the month. Hannibal is too boring to watch. Since it is airing in the Summer, it should be a bit more fast pace and entertaining. I was falling asleep while watching last night's episode. I enjoyed Wayward Pines much more than Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather watch a far more sophisticated and slower drama than a faster one that is definitely less intelligent.
ReplyDeleteLOVED IT! It seemed slow at times but it was so interesting, I did miss Will, Jack and Alana though. But it was so interesting to see the dynamic between Bedelia and Hannibal. I can't wait for the rest of this season. First episode was very creepy to me and I'm excited to learn more!
ReplyDeleteI am just about to watch Wayward Pines.Hearing so many good things about it.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong,i loved some aspects of the premiere but coz it concentrated fully on Hannibal & Bedelia,the narrative seemed slow & with less action than we're usually accustomed too.I'm sure i'll love the next one with the fate of Will,Jack & Alana revealed-Physically & Mentally.
It was a tad slower than usual, but I was perfectly fine with that. Brilliant episode.
ReplyDeleteUTD is more of guilty pleasure.It's so bad,it's good-If you know what i mean.LOL!
ReplyDeleteI was making fun of it when I watched the first season. Still can't believe I watched the whole first season lol.
ReplyDeleteHannibal won't be cancelled. It's ratings have never been great 0. something throughout the first two seasons.
ReplyDeleteI have a huge man crush on Mike Vogel.So.......
ReplyDeleteBarbie slamming Hunter (the new hot nerd guy) up against the wall is the only thing I really remember from season 2 tbh...
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I can't stop watching Hannibal, I always say I'll stop but I never do. Last night's episode looked fantastic though. I find the show a bit slow so I never really give it my full attention since I get bored otherwise, I'm usually on my phone or laptop while watching. That leads to me getting confused sometimes though since it's a show that needs your full attention :/
ReplyDeleteWayward Pines was great, I wonder if killing a character and having shock/twist ending is going to be a pattern in every episode.
Hannibal gets a 0.7 I was hoping for a 0.9
ReplyDeleteMy prediction for Hannibal was spot-on.
ReplyDeleteIs a 0.7 for Hannibal acceptable for the summer?
ReplyDeleteIt's summer. It'sThursday and it did run against NBA finals. So 0.7 seems not that bad. It also had about 0.7 last year (Friday, spring, no NBA finals)
ReplyDeleteI just wanted it to be a little higher lol.
ReplyDeleteHannibal is safe.
ReplyDeleteSeries low tier. I still hope it's acceptable. And hell, do I wish it would adjust up later.
ReplyDeleteNot for a season premiere.
ReplyDeleteI can do that got a 1.5 in summer....
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for this to be true. This show is too good to be cancelled. And why the hell aren't people watching anyway?
ReplyDeleteIf it was any other show, then no, but considering Hannibal is a co-production, it's quite safe.
ReplyDeleteIt has lower expectations in the summer, is cheap to produce, and it has critical acclaim. It's safe.
ReplyDeleteAquarius bombed hard....
ReplyDeleteDuh
ReplyDeleteFull tables added
ReplyDeleteNo. Never, a 0.7 is considered a massive failure. I'll leave it at that as I do know Hannibal has some super-fans and I know what its like to love a show that has horrible ratings.
ReplyDeleteI am assuming ABC promoted AWC and The Whispers during the NBA finals.
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect it, but AWC really drew me in.
Sad for Aquarius its really good. And the later episodes kick ass.
ReplyDeleteAquarius was a bad lead-in for Hannibal. Although NBA finals began after Aquarius, Hannibal doesn't have lower ratings. So the best show on TV is safe. If it doesn't run against NBA finals next week, ratings will get better.
ReplyDeleteIt does run against the NBA Finals next week. Game 4 in Cleveland.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too. I really want to see more.
ReplyDeleteAlready watched the pilot?
ReplyDeleteThe show has an intriguing cast, just don't know in which direction they mean to go.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't. I think that FOX continually views So You Think You Can Dance as the next great variety/dance show and as long as America's Got Talent does OK in the summer, they will continue to revise and edit the format and judging panel to try to turn it into the hit that they want it to be.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think that it's a very good bet that the street vs. stage format and Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo will not return as they proved to not be the draw that FOX was expecting.
Okay, Hannibal's total viwership is too high for this to be a 0.7. I'd love some half-hours.
ReplyDeleteBefore watching Wayward Pines I'd watch every Hannibal episode 10 times in a row.
ReplyDeleteI thought it would get 0.5 or something.0.7 in summer for a show like Hannibal which has it's niche audience is perfectly acceptable.
ReplyDeleteIt's good enough for Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteAquarius did have 3.92 million of people watching and still it got a 0.7 as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree.I'm sure it'll go up next week.At least i hope so.Plus Hugh returns on-screen!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the week after.
ReplyDeleteOh no,another episode with Will?Grrrr!
ReplyDeleteSo you prefer Under the Dome and Wayward Pines. That's fine, really. You're obviously a moron.
ReplyDeleteIt will still compete with the NBA Finals next week. That's why.
ReplyDeleteOh.Makes sense.
ReplyDeleteIs name calling really necessary here?
ReplyDeleteHow is it?
