Household
Rating/Share
ABC 8.4/13
NBC 8.4/13
Fox 4.8/ 7
CBS 4.5/ 7
CW 0.9/ 1

———-

-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening – Monday 10/08/12:
Fox: +37, NBC: +15, CW: no change, ABC: – 7, CBS: -17

———-

-Winners:
“The Voice” (NBC), “Dancing With the Stars” (ABC), “Sleepy Hollow” (Fox), “The Blacklist” (NBC), “Castle” (ABC)

-Honorable Mention:
“How I Met Your Mother” (CBS), “Bones” (Fox)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“We Are Men” (CBS), “Beauty and the Beast” (CW), “Hostages” (CBS)

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC and NBC tied for overnight household dominance on this third Monday of the new TV season, and NBC, of course, will win the evening in adults 18-49 (and other key young adult demos) thanks to “The Voice” and “The Blacklist.” “The Voice” opened with an 8.9 rating/13 share in the overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was seven percent above the 8.3/12 on the year-ago evening and two percent below competing “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC (9.1/14). And bona fide hit (and just full season renewed) “The Blacklist” followed with a 7.3/12 at 10 p.m., which was 40 percent above year-ago occupant “Revolution” (5.2/ 8 on 10/08/12). Three week overnight track for “The Blacklist”: 8.0/12 – 7.7/13 – 7.3/12.

As predicted, “The Blacklist” is the new hit of the young TV season.

Aforementioned “Dancing With the Stars,” which has certainly revitalized its look and feel this season, led into underrated “Castle,” which finished a comfortable second behind “The Blacklist” in the overnights with a 7.0/12 at 10 p.m. Comparably, that was right on par from one year earlier (while “Dancing With the Stars” dipped by just eight percent). Sadly…and stop reading if you don’t want to know who exited “Dancing With the Stars”…last night was the departure of the courageous Valerie Harper, who is the true definition of the word survivor. Too bad none of her former “MTM” co-star were present to cheer her on.

CBS, unfortunately, continues to lose steam on Monday, which will only be magnified once “How I Met Your Mother” concludes next spring. Overnight results for “How I Met Your Mothers” was solid at a third-place 5.7/ 9 at 8 p.m., which was six percent above one year earlier (and will certainly translate well demographically). But week two of “We Are Men” sunk to fourth with a 3.9/ 6 at 8:30 p.m., which was 15 percent below its already disappointing 4.6/ 7 one week earlier (and only a minor improvement over failed year-ago occupant “Partners”). Given that “Mike & Molly” is waiting in the wings with a full season episode order, “We Are Men” could be the second new series cancellation of the season. Tick, tock…the cancellation clock is ticking.

At 9 p.m., once promising “2 Broke Girls” continues to lose steam on CBS with a 5.1/ 8 (#3t) down by 18 percent from the year-ago evening (6.2/ 9 on 10/08/12). And week three of lead-out “Mom” followed with a compatible 4.9/ 7, which was equal to one week earlier (but down by 12 percent from former time period occupant “Mike & Molly” on the year-ago evening). Three week overnight track for “Mom”: 5.5/ 8 – 4.9/ 7 – 4.9/ 7.

Week three of Eye net drama “Hostages,” meanwhile, continues to bleed with a distant third-place 3.8/ 6 at 10 p.m. Comparably, this was a loss of a hefty 34 percent from “Hawaii Five-O” on the year-ago evening (5.8/ 9 on 10/08/12) with retention out of “Mom” of 78 percent. Three week overnight track for “Hostages”: 5.1/ 9 – 4.1/ 7 – 3.8/ 6. Chances are CBS will end up moving “Hostages” to Saturday before the November sweeps to burn-off its remaining episodes.

Over at Fox, which finished third overall for the night (ahead of CBS), veteran “Bones” (#4: 4.6/ 7 at 8 p.m.) led into episode four of “Sleepy Hollow,” which earned its second season renewal with a 5.0/ 8 (#3t) from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that outdelivered failed year-ago time period occupant “The Mob Doctor” (2.4/ 4 on 10/08/12) by 108 percent. Four week overnight track for “Sleepy Hollow”: 6.1/ 9 – 5.7/ 8 – 5.2/ 8 – 5.0/ 8.

In season-premiere news, “Hart of Dixie” on The CW opened year three with a bland 1.1/ 2 (#5) at 8 p.m., which was actually 22 percent above dying year-ago occupant “90210” (0.9/ 1 on 10/08/12). But relocated “Beauty and the Beast” was DOR (dead on return) at 9 p.m. with a mere 0.7/ 1, which trailed its year-ago series-opener (2.4/ 4 on Thursday 10/11/12 at 9 p.m.) by 71 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.

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)

  1. Happy for Castle ! the show is steady :)

  2. I think household measures work even worse than usual as far as the cw is concerned, so we need to wait on 18-49 ratings for that. Everything else did as expected. FOX, NBC and Castle continue to have good mondays whereas CBS continues to collapse, even though it appears Mom stabilized, which given the continued decline of 2 Broke Girls, really warrants a move to 8h30 following the still strong How I Met Your Mother

  3. "As predicted, “The Blacklist” is the new hit of the young TV season."

    Do you want a cookie now, Berman?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Truly have no idea why Blacklist is such a big hit, I imagined moderate success for it but to be as huge as it has surprises and disappoints me.

    ReplyDelete
  5. It seems like it's the new Following in terms of success so far.

    BatB episode was soooo amazing ...too bad people didn't watched it...it was one of the best season premieres I've ever seen

    ReplyDelete
  7. I'm just happy NBC has itself a ratings hit!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I thought this thread was about ratings,not about how batb was soooo amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I hope Bones stays above a 2.0 since it went down a bit in the household measures. I thought it would either stay the same or go up a bit because of last night's episode.

    ReplyDelete
  10. well, i guess they probably all saw it on showcase in canada, or watched it online a day before...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Despoina Lampridou8 October 2013 at 14:32

    too bad :(

    ReplyDelete
  12. Despoina Lampridou8 October 2013 at 14:33

    wow ..come down sweetheart ...the comment was mostly about the ratings...isn't that what everybody is doing ???..comment for the ratings of their shows ???

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think I actually checked before and for some strange reason the Pelant episodes are typically lower rated than usual. I think it is likely that casual people are not as drawn in, which would explain why Bones does serialized episodes so little often.

    ReplyDelete
  14. BatB crashed - no shock there
    Great for Sleepy Hollow and The Blacklist

    ReplyDelete
  15. Seems to be.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I adore the show. It grabs my attention tremendously, I don't know what will happen next and I find the characters fascinating. It's an excellent hour that keeps me wishing for more. Happy for its success.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And a show that seems more stable following The Voice! Maybe it's because of the procedural nature of the show.

    ReplyDelete
  18. ABC's problem really is the fact that it doesn't have enough "Castles", as in shows that are steady and at a quite acceptable number despite the collapse of lead-ins. Spots like Sundays at 10, Tuesdays at 10, Thursdays at 8, could all use Castle there. The problem is that Mondays at 10 needs it even more.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Actually, I think the demo will be lower than last week...wich doesn´t surprise me because when Marc Berman lists Castle as a winner, the demo doesn´t match...

    ReplyDelete
  20. I´m sure Bones will be above 2.0...and oddly, in Marc Berman world, "honorable mention" usually is better than "winner":)

    ReplyDelete
  21. CW
    90210 -P
    0.4
    1
    0.94
    Those are the numbers for last years 90210 premiere. Hopefully we are looking at something above .4 for HoD.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I agree, because something, anything would be better than the .3/.2 punch of TCD/90210 I would think.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh well, I guess I'll savor Beauty and the Beast while it lasts. I thought with the new co-show runner, executive producer and the major improvements over last season, it will bring in more viewers. I guess I was wrong.

    Sleepy Hollow, The Blacklist, and Castle all did fantastic. So happy for them.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh please,and stop calling people sweetheart.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I am,you relax.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Despoina Lampridou8 October 2013 at 14:57

    I'm sorry if calling you ''sweetheart'' was rude or something or you don't like it ..... but if you don't mind me asking...why were you so ''aggresive'' to my comment ( which was actually about the ratings )

    ReplyDelete
  27. A lot of people seems to have a problem with Pelant.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Glad that HIMYM is going strong in it's final season. Looks like Mom has stabilized, though it is still on the bubble for CBS. We Are Men is dead for sure and by the looks of it so is Hostages.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The people that bother to have a problem with him are people that won't miss an episode because he is in it either regardless of what they say.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Why does it's success disappoint you?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Its really sad Hostages isnt catching on.. i like it better then all the new shows. I watched first 3 of Sleepy Hallow and stoped watching. Too predictable. I dont like the blacklist at all. Oh well ill keep watching while its on. And not suprised at Beauty and the beast it should of been canceled.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yeah, I just hear a lot of complaints about him when people are discussion Bones.

    ReplyDelete
  33. While true, it doesn't matter for their renewal. If Beauty and the Beast does worse in the ratings than let's say the originals, supernatural, arrow, the tomorrow people, the vampire diaries and one of the midseason shows, it is the likeliest show to be cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Because I find the show ridiculous (and not in a good way) and so I'm disappointed a show like that can succeed whilst others fail, I'm a bit too judgmental when it comes to TV shows.

    ReplyDelete
  35. excuse me, but where does it say it is an only ratings about thread?????

    ReplyDelete
  36. There are certain factor that influence these crash IMO,
    1. The show being aired in CA and showing in the internet one day before it airs in the USA.
    2. Competing against Sleepyhollow (a monster in my POV) the voice and dancing.
    3. NY and North Jersey preempted show for Saturday.


    The show was actually improved a lot, compared to many things on tv right now they made a big effort. Ill hang around until it last! I liked the show since the getgo! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I know this feeling. I'm disappointed too because the rating hits of this season are shows I don't like.

    ReplyDelete
  38. "Ratings News - 8th October 2013"

    ReplyDelete
  39. All of CBS comedies dropped two-tenths from last week's final ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  40. yes because all Beauty's neilsen box owning fans just couldnt wait to watch and decided to go online instead?

    ReplyDelete
  41. Bones is pretty steady and if FOX were even a little smart they would forget moving it to Friday and move it to Tuesday at 8 instead cancelling Dads and Brooklyn.

    ReplyDelete
  42. probably too small to really affect the already tiny ratings?

    ReplyDelete
  43. CBS should flip Hostages and either TM or TGW. Put Hostages at 10 on Sunday since half the time it will get pushed back and it's basically a loser slot. They could move TM to 9 on Sunday and TGW to Monday or just move TM to Monday to reduce the number of changes. Hostages just has to go.

    ReplyDelete
  44. (All)

    Bones. :( It's at 2.0, but I didn't except it to fall, at least not that much.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I am laughing so hard at Crappy and the Beast's ratings. A new series low for the abysmal show.

    ReplyDelete
  46. RIP Hostages *sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  47. They dropped two tenth but once again pretty solid numbers for Bones and Castle IMO. Also good for Sleepy Hollow & The Blacklist too! I hope they won't drop more

    ReplyDelete
  48. Hope they move Hostages to some other slot and at least show how the current story ends for the people who are watching it

    ReplyDelete
  49. Good now that you finally realise it, and all you "beasties" or whatever can you now stop annoying pimping the show and forcing people to watch it.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Saturdays maybe, but CBS rarely does that.

    ReplyDelete
  51. “We Are Men” could be the second new series cancellation of the season"


    I guess there are better candidates like Betrayal or Hostages.

    ReplyDelete
  52. While I don't hate The Blacklist, I agree that it has a lot of ridiculous elements that often make it hard to watch. And Elizabeth is possibly the worst agent of all time. But to see this (and Revolution, imo) succeed when amazing shows like Hannibal are struggling to survive is a huge disappointment.

    ReplyDelete
  53. which will happen every week,so good luck batb fans!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. We are men is easier to replace Mike and molly is waiting needing no promotion and with a 22 episode order

    ReplyDelete
  55. My problem with this site lately is that most of the so called "administrators" are in a full attacking on low rated shows with a rabid fanbase. "Adms" should be IMO more of moderators, why you have to come back with a smart comment like that. Really, was it necessary?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Not another drop for Sleepy Hollow. :( See why I'm worried now? It still hasn't settled, still dropping. I know they have a season 2 already planned but what about beyond that?


    Knew Beauty and the Beast would do bad on Monday. Mondays aren't good on the CW (some could argue most days aren't, but especially Monday and Friday, yikes).

    ReplyDelete
  57. Show me where exactly. There are only 2 admins on the site.

    ReplyDelete
  58. The major part of this success belongs to The Voice's huge ratings. Revolution was once a "successful show" too. Look at where it now. NBC essentialy is a network of one show (the Voice), and saying that a show is a success or not is justifiable only when it passes 20 episode mark, or even in the 2nd season at best.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I wish Sleepy Hollow would get steady. Viewers are still dropping. Jeez.


    The amount of viewers was actually steady. Last week there was an audience of 7.97 M, while this week 7.76 M watched. The share is different this week, that's why it went down. I think it is already starting to settle in. I hope really wanna see it fall down any further.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I love B&TB, but I don't like to make any kind of drama out of such a banal subjects, so, I find really funny that CW's numbers are inflated even though they only got .4...

    ReplyDelete
  61. Happy for The Blacklist and Castle I just wish they weren't on at the same time but I think a time change would hurt either show.

    ReplyDelete
  62. i´m so happy for Castle, is amazing,

    ReplyDelete
  63. Those numbers are inflated? :/.

    ReplyDelete
  64. DeniseMoreira_Brazil8 October 2013 at 19:45

    Hubba, hubba! Castle always! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  65. they could just swap Hawaii 5 O and Hostages?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I say move it to Friday and burn off all the episodes

    ReplyDelete
  67. NOT RELATED TO RATINGS BUT DON'T MISS PRETTY LITTLE LIARS AND RAVENSWOOD OCTOBER 22ND ON ABC FAMILY THANKS 14 DAYS TO GO

    ReplyDelete
  68. Iknew hostages isn't that good

    ReplyDelete
  69. I can only speak for myself...but I found Pelant boring & unrealistic. Generally, when I started watching an episode that would turn out to be Pelant-centric, I'd get bored a few scenes in & end up changing the channel to something else. I'm sure there are plenty of other people who also changed the channel - there's so much to watch nowadays, no reason to watch episodes you don't enjoy.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I'm only half way through S8 atm, and have to agree that the whole Pelant thing is a turn off even now. Kinda reminds me of how heavy and boring Patricia Cornwall got with her Scarpetta novels, I just can't be bothered with them any more.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Final Ratings:
    HIMYM - 3.0 - 7.53
    Bones - 2.1 - 7.30
    HoD - 0.4 - 1.03
    We Are Men - 1.8 - 5.41
    Sleepy Hollow - 2.8 - 7.96
    2 Broke Girls - 2.3 - 7.26
    BATB - 0.3 - 0.86
    Mom - 2.1 - 6.86
    The Blacklist - 3.1 - 11.18
    Castle - 1.9 - 1.51

    Hostages - 1.2 - 5.22

    ReplyDelete
  72. Awful AWFUL numbers for BATB. I might as well just DVR it and watch Sleepy Hollow live. There's no point anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  73. BATB was, it got adjusted down.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Castle is 1.9 & 10.8 viewers

    ReplyDelete
  75. My bad, it was supposed to be 10.51, but I missed a 0.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Beauty and the beast is the best!!!! <3 Loved it!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I totally agree with you Despoina! It's my fav series... and believe me! I've watched some of these "hits"... they are ZERO comparing with Beauty and the Beast!! Kiss ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  78. Why? Are you a shareholder?

    ReplyDelete
  79. Why? It's much better than Hostages. Or ANYTHING on NBC that isn't Hannibal or P&R.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I don't think we should panic until after episode 6 or 7, if it's hits 6 million viewers or lower before then I'll be definitely worried. But so far I think every episode hits at least a 3.5 when DVR ratings are factored in. We'll have to wait and see this week.

    ReplyDelete
  81. No, you should definitely be worried. Your best bet is for the new CW shows to fail. If two new shows make it, then its only bet is Fridays. If three shows make it (out of the 5 they are premiering), then it has no shot unless they go for creative scheduling which would be very un-cw thing to do.

    ReplyDelete
  82. It had a ridiculously steady performance from week 2 to week 3. Fact is, it still hasn't fallen 1 full point since its premiere and its episode 4 already (one third of its season). I also wish the drops would stop but the show is fine. However, I am glad it has been renewed cause I don't know how going on hiatus due to baseball will affect its momentum!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Bones is certainly putting up a fight against its friday move. I still say it's ridiculous to do it when the comedies and glee remain on schedule, at least based on 18-49.

    ReplyDelete
  84. It's a bad idea long term. H50 would perform badly thrown in the monday slot like that with no promotion in the middle of the season. And it would be thrown to fridays again midseason when intelligence comes, but at that point it would likely be too late to settle on fridays too, which is actually doing now.

    ReplyDelete
  85. If things continue like this, I wonder if NBC shouldn't just use the blacklist midseason to rebuild wednesdays and use the voice to launch another thing since they have so many midseason dramas in store. It's probaby too risky though.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I was referring to Sleepy Hollow, not the CW shows. (That's why I said 6 mil) :)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Sorry, you are right. I was distracted while reading, my bad! And yeah 6 million for the cw shows should have hit a button ahah

    ReplyDelete
  88. If you stop watching live you might as well kiss it good bye. It's a shame, because it really is a good show.

    ReplyDelete
  89. agreed. some parts of the blacklist just don't make sense. still don't understand why it is getting popular.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Unless they are a Niesen family it makes no difference to the ratings if they watch it live or not.

    ReplyDelete
  91. No shock??? Maybe for you...
