Ratings Analysis:
Note: The State of the Union Address and analysis aired live across the country from approximately 9-11 p.m. ET. The Address was from 9-10:09 p.m., followed by the analysis. All results on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox last night are approximate, of course. The CW did not air President Obama’s speech.
CBS opened the night on a winning overnight note care of a repeat of “NCIS” at a 6.5 rating/10 share in households from 8-9 p.m. At the CBS executive session at the Winter Press Tour yesterday, here is what new Entertainment President Glenn Geller had to say about Michael Weatherly’s departure:
“They are working on how Michael’s character is going to be written out, and Gary and the producers are working on that right now. I will definitely miss, as I’m sure the fans will, too, and my mother, very special agent Tony DiNozzo, and his decision was his. It was a creative one. He had been in the role for 13 years, and I completely understand that and wish him well.”
There are no plans, meanwhile, for Cote de Pablo to return.
Also in the Tuesday 8 p.m. hour was “Hollywood Game Night” on NBC (3.1/ 5), followed by Fox sitcoms “New Girl” (2.5/ 4) and “Grandfathered” (2.1/ 3), encore telecasts of ABC’s “Fresh Off the Boat” (2.4/ 4) and “The Muppets” (1.6/ 2), and CW special “Madtv 20th Anniversary Reunion” (1.3/ 2).
Overnight household results for the State of the Union Address are as follows:
9:00 p.m. – NBC: 4.7/ 7, CBS: 4.6/ 7, ABC: 3.5/ 5, Fox: 1.6/ 3
9:30 p.m. – NBC: 4.9/ 7, CBS: 4.6/ 7, ABC: 3.8/ 6, Fox: 1.8/ 3
An original installment of ‘iZombie” on The CW did not benefit minus the entertainment themed competition with a mere 0.8/ 1 from 9-10 p.m.
The 10 p.m. half-hour featured a combination of the State of the Union Address and the analysis as follows:
CBS: 5.1/ 8, ABC: 4.7/ 7, NBC: 4.3/ 7
NBC also featured an analysis in the 10:30 p.m. half-hour, which averaged a 3.2/ 5. And CBS and ABC populated the half-hour with repeats of “Mike & Molly” (2.7/ 5) and “The Goldbergs” (2.0/ 3). At the aforementioned CBS executive session yesterday, Glenn Geller confirmed that this is the final season of “Mike & Molly.”

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.
NOTE: We will open up the ratings post early so that people can chat/disqus whilst we wait for the HH, T25 Numbers and then the Early Overnight numbers as usual.
