Today's Early Overnight Ratings

This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)



Early Ratings Analysis

The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)

----------

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was an easy opening week victory for ABC, which bested the No. 2 network, CBS, by a hefty 89 percent in the overnights. Third overall was Fox, followed by NBC and, of course, The CW, which barely registered courtesy of “The Carrie Diaries” (#5: 0.8 rating/1 share) and a repeat of “Hart of Dixie” (#5: 0.4/ 1).

Before we begin our analysis, there are two immediate observations. The scenario will change next week once “The Voice” opens its new season on NBC (the network is counting the minutes at this point). And the gap among adults 18-49 will decrease once the fast affiliate results are released.

The new season of “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC was off and successfully running, with a 12.1/18 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. Comparably, this dipped by only 10 percent from the year-ago season opener (13.4/20 on 3/19/12, which translated into 18.79 million viewers and a 3.5 rating/9 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data). And the fluctuation in the four half-hours was only three-tenths of a rating point (peaking at a 12.3/18 at 9 p.m.). Congratulations, Tom Bergeron and company. And sorry D.L. Hughley, who trailed the pack with a mere 12 points from the judges in total.

“Castle,” which at this point can totally stand on its own, followed “Dancing With the Stars” with a dominant 7.7/13 in the overnights at 10 p.m. (which was six percent below the 8.2/14 one year earlier).

In season-finale news, two hours of “The Biggest Loser” on NBC paled in comparison to “Dancing With the Stars,” with a 4.8/ 7 from 8-10 p.m. But this was a jump of 26 percent week to week (versus a 3.8/ 6 on March 11). And “The Biggest Loser” should have no trouble remaining filler for “The Voice” in between seasons.

Billed as the season-finale, drama “Deception” on NBC remained out of the competitive loop with a distant third-place 2.5/ 4 at 10 p.m. Comparably, that dropped from year-ago occupant “Smash” (4.9/ 8 on 3/19/12) by a considerable 49 percent. Don’t be fooled…”Deception” is over.

Over at CBS (and opposite “Dancing With the Stars”), “How I Met Your Mother” opened with a respectable 5.5/ 8 in the overnights at 8 p.m. (#2), which could still win the time period among adults 18-49. Next was “Rules of Engagement” (#3: 4.6/ 7 at 8:30 p.m.), which looks like it will be finally ending this spring, followed by “2 Broke Girls” (#2: 6.0/ 9) and compatible “Mike & Molly” (#2: 5.8/ 9) from 9-10 p.m. The next time you hear the expression “sophomore slump,” think of “2 Broke Girls” which seems to be grasping for cheap jokes way too early in its run.

“Hawaii Five-O” closed the night for the Eye net with a second-place 5.8/10 at 10 p.m., which fully maintained its “Mike & Molly” lead-in.

Over at Fox, it was business as usual care of veteran “Bones” (#3: 5.1/ 8) and freshman “The Following” (#4: 4.7/ 7), which were both officially renewed for next season.

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.

  5. The episode from yesterday was boring, and we are getting so LITTLE B/B together in the screen (5 minutes yesterday) that Im really hoping the fans dont get tired of that

  6. I wish Deception had been able to have The Voice as a lead-in at some point, the way Smash did. It's not the best show, but it grew on me over time.

    I guess it's not very compatible with HoD, granted it's a repeat.

    ReplyDelete
  15. yeah, but i'm sure the repeat of HoD will drew more viewers than a new episode of 90210... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Eidnoreid Pills19 March 2013 at 15:43

    Even Nikita can do that. :). I guess HoD will have to be paired with another show then.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow, that's a season low for HIMYM. :(

    ReplyDelete
  18. yay BONES! 8 seasons in and still going strong. Another great ep last night! Loved Booth!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I predicted 1.9 for Castle, I love when I am wrong :D and viewers, well, wow

    ReplyDelete
  20. I stand corrected. The season low was for 8.05: The Autum of Break Ups. 7.22M views with a 2.8 rating.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It's still a 2.9 - I'd kill for some of my shows to get a 1.9!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Looks like my prediction for Castle wasn't that far off! Good going! :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. WOW, for Castle. People are enjoying viewing the best show on TV. That mark is amazing and hope it continues!

    ReplyDelete
  24. This sucks I love Deception was really hoping it would succeed . I hate all these networks they rarely if ever give new shows a fair chance. :P

    ReplyDelete
  25. Like I said I knew it would be those #'s Zap2it said 8.99 for Five-0 so which is correct?

    ReplyDelete
  26. With #'s steady with 8-9mill why hasn't CBS still given the greenlight for S4 for Five-0 they know for sure it'll get picked up because fo the TNT syndication deal for 66 episodes

    ReplyDelete
  27. Happy by increased audience and rating of Castle! So happy!
