Ratings Breakdown
It was all about Fox, of course, which is approximate due to the live nature of the Arizona Cardinals at the Carolina Panthers on the NFC Championship Game. The highly anticipated match up scored an estimated 27.3 rating/43 share in the household overnights from 7-10:15 p.m. And it led into an approximate 20.5/30 for post-game “The OT” from 9:45-10:15 p.m.
Given the lead-in support, there was every reason to expect ample sampling for the return of “The X-Files,” which scored an estimated 11.1/18 from 10:15-11:15 p.m. A more valid test for “The X-Files,” of course, will be its 8 p.m. time period debut this evening into new drama “Lucifer.” But Fox accomplished exactly what it was looking for with “The X-Files” revival: huge sampling.
Elsewhere, older-skewing CBS got some traction in the household overnights despite the severity of the competition care of a two-hour edition of “60 Minutes” (6.8/10 from 7-9 p.m.) and encore telecasts of “Madam Secretary” (#2: 3.7/ 6) and “NCIS” (#2: 3.9/ 7) from 9-11 p.m. NBC opened with “Dateline” at a 2.5/ 3 (#3t) at 7 p.m. into a repeat of 2011 theatrical “Bridesmaids” (1.8/ 3 from 8-11 p.m.). And ABC populated the night with a repeat of veteran “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (#3t, 2.5/ 3 at 7 p.m.), Sunday 8 p.m. time period filler “Galavant” (#4: 1.3/ 2), and the two-hour encore telecast of the second season-premiere of “Marvel’s Agent Carter” (#4: 0.9/ 2 from 9-11 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.
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.
