    Ratings Breakdown:
    NBC topped the Monday overnights, inching past No. 2 ABC by two percent in households. But the home of “The Voice,” of course, will hold a far larger advantage in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demographics). In the 8-10 p.m. overnight battle of “The Voice” (7.3 rating/11 share) versus “Dancing With the Stars” (7.4/11), ABC held a one-tenth of a rating point advantage. But year-to-year, “Dancing With the Stars” slipped by 14 percent (versus a 8.6/13 on 10/19/15), while “The Voice” was on par the 7.5/11 one year earlier.

    Both ABC and NBC continue to lag in the new drama department at 10 p.m., with NBC’s “Timeless” (#2: 3.8/ 6) and ABC’s “Conviction” (#3: 3.2/ 6) trailing year-ago time period occupants “Blindspot” (4.8/ 8 on 10/19/15) and “Castle” (4.7/ 8) by 21 percent and 32 percent, respectively. Compared to the 9:30 p.m. half-hour, “Timeless” slipped from “The Voice” (7.4/11) by 49 percent, while “Conviction” dropped from “Dancing With the Stars” (7.5/12) by 37 percent.

    Tops in the Monday 10 p.m. hour was CBS’ relocated “Scorpion” at a 4.8/ 8, which was a stronger attraction airing one hour earlier.

    There were two season three premieres last night: “Jane the Virgin” on The CW and “The Odd Couple” on CBS. “Jane the Virgin” (#5: 0.9/ 1 at 9 p.m.) squandered the lead-in support from “Supergirl” (#5: 1.9/ 3 at 8 p.m.), with a loss of 53 percent. But what is particularly positive for “Supergirl” was more than triple the overnight household rating than year-ago time period occupant “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” (0.6/ 1 on 10/19/15).

    “The Odd Couple,” meanwhile, scored a 3.1/ 5 at 9:30 p.m., which was a loss of a less severe 18 percent out of “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 3.8/ 6 at 9 p.m.). Together, however, “2 Broke Girls” and “The Odd Couple” were, on average, 43 percent below year-ago time period occupant “Scorpion” (6.1/ 9).

    Earlier in the evening on CBS was the night’s highest-rated show, “The Big Bang Theory,” at a 9.1/14 at 8 p.m. That led into a typical 5.3/ 8 for recent comedy entry “Kevin Can Wait” at 8:30 p.m. But the true test for the Kevin James sitcom will come next Monday when it anchors Monday at 8 p.m. (into the debut of “Man With a Plan,” starring Matt LeBlanc).

    Fox capped off this fifth Monday of the new television season with its drama combination of “Gotham” (#4: 2.5/ 4) and “Lucifer” (#4” 2.6/ 4). While neither overnight performance is exactly stellar, “Lucifer” was 86 percent above short-lived “The Minority Report” one year earlier (1.4/ 2).

  • About the Daily Ratings - Please Read if you are new to 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
