Ratings Breakdown:
Note: PBS and CNN aired the Democratic Presidential Debate From 9-11 p.m.
ABC got some disappointing news following the return of its TGIT-themed Thursday drama black. “Grey’s Anatomy” opened the night with a 6.4 rating/10 share in the metered market households at 8 p.m., which was actually seven percent above the 6.0/10 on the year-ago evening. So, the results remain healthy for the veteran medical drama. Although a second-place 5.3/ 8 for “Scandal” at 9 p.m. is certainly not a negative overnight performance, comparably this was down by 13 percent from its winter finale on 11/19/15 and 23 percent below the 7.1/11 on the year-ago evening.
ABC’s sophomore “How To Get Away With Murder” followed with a series-low 4.3/ 7 at 10 p.m. (#1), which slid by 22 percent and 30 percent, respectively, from its winter finale (5.5/10 on 11/19/15) and year-ago performance (6.1/11 on 2/12/15).
Tops for the evening was soon-to-conclude “American Idol” on Fox, which scored a 6.0/10 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS, of course, led the night overall with a 10.2/27 at 8 p.m., followed by a third-place 5.8/ 9 for freshman “Life in Pieces” at 8:30 p.m. Overnight retention for “Life in Pieces” out of “The Big Bang Theory” was typical at 57 percent.
Next on CBS was “Mom” at a respectable 5.2/ 8 (#3) in the 9 p.m. half-hour, followed by a repeat of “The Big Bang Theory” (#4: 4.0/ 6 at 9:30 p.m.) in place of canceled “Angel From Hell.” DVR-friendly “Elementary” capped off the night for the Eye net with a second-place 3.9/ 7 at 10 p.m., which was five percent above just renewed competing “Shades of Blue” on NBC (#3: 3.7/ 7).
Earlier in the evening on NBC was week three of “You, Me and the Apocalypse,” which dropped by 13 percent from last week at a series-low 2.0/ 3 (#4) at 8 p.m. And that led into a healthy 4.5/ 7 for “The Blacklist” at 9 p.m. (#4), which increased by 137 percent from the 8:30 p.m. portion of “You, Me and the Apocalypse” (1.9/ 3).
The CW closed the night with recently introduced “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” at a now typical 1.7/ 3 in the household overnights at 8 p.m., which was 31 percent above former time period occupant “The Vampire Diaries” on the year-ago evening (1.3/ 2 on 2/12/15). And it led into a 1.0/ 2 for drama “The 100” at 9 p.m., which slid by 41 percent.

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.
