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)

If you are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent Ratings FAQ.

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)

For more information on the Nielsen Ratings see this Wikipedia Entry.

NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

NOTE: Berman has made a mistake. It should be The Tomorrow People and NOT Beauty and the Beast in the text below.

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 4/01/13:
CBS: +73, CW: +50, ABC: -13, ABC and Fox: -19 each

———-

-Winners:
“Dancing With the Stars” (ABC), “The Voice” (NBC), “How I Met Your Mother” (CBS), “The Blacklist” (NBC)

“Friends With Better Lives” (CBS)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Star-Crossed” (CW), “The Tomorrow People” (CW), “Intelligence” (CBS)

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC opened the week with another victory in the household overnights, thanks to “Dancing With the Stars.” And NBC is a lock for leadership in adults 18-49 (and the other key demos) as a result, of course, of “The Voice.” But the one-hour series-finale of nine-season CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” rose to a second-place 8.6 rating/13 share n the overnights from 8-9 p.m., which could very well beat competing “The Voice” (#3: 7.6/11 in the first hour) demographically. Compared to last week’s regularly scheduled half-hour, “How I Met Your Mother” increased by 43 percent.

Next on CBS was the series-premiere of sitcom “Friends With Better Lives,” which fell to third with a 5.1/ 8 in the overnights in the 9 p.m. half-hour. Comparably, that dipped from regularly scheduled “Mike & Molly” last week (5.5/ 8 on March 24) by seven percent, with retention out of the second-half of the “How I Met Your Mother” finale (8.5/13) of just 60 percent. In other words, this is very disappointing and chances of “Friends With Better Lives” holding up in the Monday 8:30 p.m. time period (out of relocated “2 Broke Girls”) are slim.

Already renewed “Mom” followed “Friends with Better Lives” with a compatible 4.8/ 7 at 9:30 p.m. And it led into the season (or series) finale of freshman drama “Intelligence” at a last-place 3.9/ 6. Chances of “Intelligence” returning are nil.

Over at ABC, healthy “Dancing With the Stars” dominated the 8-10 p.m. block, with a 9.6/15 in the overnights. And that led into an encore of “Castle” at a second-place 4.9/ 8 at 10 p.m. (which beat the original installment of competing “Intelligence” by 26 percent).

On NBC, demo dominant “The Voice” was also on the map, with a 7.6/11 from 8-10 p.m. And freshman hit “The Blacklist” on NBC closed the night with a first-place 7.2/12 at 10 p.m.

Elsewhere, Fox dramas “Bones” (#4: 3.8/ 6) and fading “The Following” (#4: 3.3/ 5) were close to week-ago levels despite the increased competition. And The CW’s low-rated combination of recent entry “Star-Crossed” and relocated “Beauty and the Beast” each scored a 0.9/ 1 in their 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. time periods.

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). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.

  2. Great to see The Blacklist up. :)

    ReplyDelete
  3. I really enjoyed star-crossed last night! It had action, drama, shipping from several characters.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm just hoping Bones got at least 1.0.

    ReplyDelete
  5. I think FWBL didn't do well because after HIMYM finale everyboby turned off their TV, as the end was so disapointing that lot of them told themselves that they would never watch a sitcom again... ^^

    ReplyDelete
  6. Regardless of TTP and SC ratings, they have helped Monday

    ReplyDelete
  7. And in the meantime Star-Crossed is getting 38,000 viewers or so in Australia and still ranks in the top 20.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Wow batb for ttp :D super rude

    ReplyDelete
  9. Hmmm I hope this translates to at least a 0.4/1 (not that it has any chances to be any higher than that) for The Tomorrow People

    ReplyDelete
  10. The Blacklist up!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. TTP is always on the loser list, will end with a cliffhanger for sure...

    Good show, just too little, too late...

    ReplyDelete
  12. HIMYM hits series highs in viewers and demo of 5.3 and 12.9 mill. viewers!

    ReplyDelete
  13. HIMYM demo….wow, fantastic and richly deserved!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Bones does a 1.5 while Following does a 1.4

    ReplyDelete
  15. I knew the finale would cross 5.0 with ease.

    ReplyDelete
  16. The Voice: 3.4 . The Blacklist: 2.8.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Blacklist still so powerful, good :-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. HIMYM did a 6.1 in women 18-34 demo, and a 5.8 in the male 18-34 demo.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Funny how CBS assumed FwithBetterLives would gather positive from the HIMYM final. With such a blast of a final everyone turned their TV off.

  21. I know it's lead-in was huge but am I the only one who thinks that the 2.7 for FWBL isn't THAT bad. It's a mid-season comedy and most of CBS' comedies are now hitting low 2's (2BG, M&M, Mom, TCO, TAAHM and The Millers without the big lead-in would too).

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm so proud of Bones :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. It is bad how it lost 50% of the demo. And seeing that that the 2nd episode airs two weeks later, it's likely it will fall below 2.0.

  25. I hope HIMYM beats TBBT this week.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Actually surprised it beat the episode that aired before the TAAHM season 9 premiere but excited.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Was it likely to sustain any more of that demo though? Probably not.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Really hope TTP does not adjust down.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Woah, I just noticed the ratings for TTP. That was a surprise. I have yet to see the episod.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Maybe a sarcastic and subtle hint from his side about TTPs current status ?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Bones went up against stiffer competition than the Following, wow good for you Bones

    Wow for The Tomorrow People. Great numbers.
    HIMYM finale did great (I'm talking numbers, people!)
    Ouch, The Following.
    Steady and great for The Blacklist. :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. It was an amazing episode

    ReplyDelete
  34. I guess TTP's not going down without a fight. Of course, it could always adjust down... we'll have to wait and see. It would have to get 0.5's in every episode until the end of the season to stand a chance, I think, and even then it depends on how much further The 100 drops.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I like these TTP ratings! Let's hope it doesn't adjust down!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I wish that was enough. I really like SC and TTP.

    ReplyDelete
  37. a little better to Star Crossed but not enough for a second season, unfortunetely.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Yeaaaaaaah baby!! TTP goes up! I knew it had some (TK)fight left in it! Awesome episode! I cant wait for season 2!!
