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.

CW had some local pre-emptions. Numbers likely to be adjusted in the finals.

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.

Household Rating/Share
ABC 8.4/13

CBS 4.0/ 6
Fox 3.7/ 6
CW 0.8/ 1

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Monday 4/22/13:
CW: +33, CBS: +14, NBC: - 1, ABC: - 8, Fox: -21

----------

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

“The Following” (Fox)

“Friends With Better Lives” (CBS), “Star-Crossed” (CW), “The Tomorrow People” (CW)

----------

-Ratings Breakdown:
ABC opened the week on a winning overnight note, beating No. 2 NBC by 26 percent. But the home of “The Voice” will, no doubt, dominate the evening in all key demographics. “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC topped the night in households with a 9.5 rating/15 share from 8-10 p.m., which was on par from the 9.7/15 on the year-ago evening. And it led into a second-place 6.2/10 for “Castle” at 10 p.m., which trailed bona fide freshman hit “The Blacklist” on NBC (#1: 7.1/12) by 13 percent. Demographically, “The Blacklist” will hold a much greater advantage.

With the broadcast nets setting up the schedule blueprints for next season, here is an idea for NBC that could be the most aggressive maneuver of any network. Move “The Blacklist” from Monday at 10 p.m. (which would allow a new drama to benefit out of “The Voice”) to Thursday at 9 p.m. (into a new drama), which would give NBC a much-needed facelift on the evening. If NBC is concerned about competing with Thursday Night Football on CBS, open the sophomore season of “The Blacklist” on Monday where it is established and move it to Thursday after football. Food for thought, no doubt.

Earlier in the evening on NBC was “The Voice” at a solid 7.1/11 (#2) from 8-10 p.m., which was equal to one week earlier (and will dominate demographically).

On CBS, relocated “2 Broke Girls” finished third at 8 p.m., with a 4.8/ 8 in the household overnights. But that 4.8 was 11 percent below the 5.4 one week earlier. Next was episode three of grating “Friends With Better Lives,” which slipped by 12 percent week-to-week with a third-place 3.8/ 6 at 8:30 p.m. Comparably, retention for “Friends With Better Lives” out of “2 Broke Girls” was 79 percent. Note to CBS (and all networks): Enough with these sitcoms populated with young people whining about their love lives. Is it really that bad?

Next on the Eye net was “Mike & Molly,” which perked up to a 5.0/ 8 at 9 p.m. (#3), followed by Monday encores of “The Big Bang Theory” (#3: 4.5/ 7) and “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#3: 2.9/ 5) from 9:30-11 p.m.

Elsewhere, veteran “Bones” on Fox (#4: 4.2/ 6) led into a fourth-place 3.2/ 5 for “The Following” at 9 p.m., which dropped by 32 percent from the 4.7/ 7 on the year-ago evening. In other words: nothing unusual. And CW dramas “Star-Crossed” and relocated “The Tomorrow People” each averaged a 0.8/ 1.

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.

  1. Bye FWBL!
    Poor 2BG, hopefully, it'll stay in the range of 2.1-2.3

    ReplyDelete
  2. The CW was preempted yet again for baseball. I don't follow Baseball so can anyone tell me when the season ends or whatever?

    ReplyDelete
  3. That's what I thought, it shouldn't have been placed at 9pm in season 2. CBS should've kept it @8:30
    The show is great, it makes me sad!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Baseball ends with The World Series in October.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Unfortunately, Star-Crossed and The Tomorrow People were pre-empted in New York =/
    I'm tired of these pre-emptions that hurt specially Cw's shows.

    ReplyDelete
  6. It just seems every time the CW airs a new episode lately it's preempted for baseball instead.

    ReplyDelete
  7. This looks like the first time The Blacklist held on to 100% of The Voice in total viewers. Pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Now, 2 broke girls need some new idea. Its plots are fine, but no surprise.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Great enough for the Blacklist!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  10. 2BG is not a good anchor they should try Mike & Molly to see how iit goes.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Mediocre numbers for a mediocre 2nd part season of the "strawberry" show.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Ugh... seriously such a great episode of The Tomorrow People... still not rising...
    + stupid preemptions...

    ReplyDelete
  13. Totally agree.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Some new ideas ... and also some new good hunks ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Amazing for Blacklist! I don't really know if it should move to Thursdays at 9 next season because ABC might just move Scandal there and we don't FOX is gonna put there. Maybe Wednesdays at 9? IDK

    ReplyDelete
  16. or basketball. WGN in Chicago carries a lot of sports and, no surprise, the ratings are much higher than CW shows

    ReplyDelete
  17. Red struck again!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Tuesdays at 10 would be a better option. I would rather it facing POI than Scandal and Football.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Afraid for Friends With Better Lives... :/

    ReplyDelete
  20. I really hope Bones went up the demos.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Tuesdays at 10? I don't think NBC will waste their biggest new hit like that.

    ReplyDelete
  22. It all depends on the scheduling next season. Whats wrong with Tuesday at 10? Personally for me if CBS keeps POI on at 10 on Tuesday then i wouldn't want The Blacklist moved to that day or time slot. But either way I much prefer to keep TB on at 10pm on whatever night...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Maybe because FWBL is 30 minutes and it probably beat Bones in the half-hour?

    ReplyDelete
  24. I believe you´re talking about Castle, right? (altough I preferred the 1st half, the 2nd is far from being "mediocre", imo - I loved "In the belly of the beast" and there another 2 or 3 that I enjoyed). Anyway, ratings wise I´m expecting a series low:(

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh, okay. That makes sense.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Was there a basketball pre-emption on The CW or something?

    Don't see how Star-Crossed rose to such a high viewership mark.

  28. TBL needs to be on at 9pm for two reasons: 1) to serve as a lead-in to another drama (either new or existing); 2) higher HUT. The unbelievable DVR numbers indicate that TBL potential audience is huge. I'd like to see it paired with CPD on Thursdays.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Why do you think the comment is about "Castle"? And why the "strawberry" show? I don't think it's about "Castle" at all...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Maria was right ;) have you heard what NF said about the show?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Well there's 162 games a season for each team from April till October so maybe you should consider moving to a area that doesn't have a team.

    ReplyDelete
  32. If they move it to Tuesdays at 10 it'll be up against Sons of Anarchy in the fall and SoA crushes everything it's up against in the same timeslot so that might not be a good idea either. And it'll be final season of SoA too so even higher ratings this upcoming fall.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The Star-Crossed cast live tweets every week and it looked like a LOT of people were upset they were missing the shows. The CW needs to figure out a better way to do both their shows and sports or pick one.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Blavklist does it again

    ReplyDelete
  35. Frustrating about the baseball, it was on my CW channel as well. I hope Star-Crossed doesn't adjust down, though I did find it interesting its viewership was slightly higher than TTP.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Thank you. Every season SoA has increased in viewership to over 5 million viewers last season with averaging over a 3.0 in the 18-49 rating too.

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's rare for cable shows (especially all broadcast dramas) to do that now of these days! I need to start watching SoA, do you watch it?

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's my favorite show so I can't recommend it enough. It's the show I recommend to everyone whenever sometime asks on Facebook what they should watch next. I was hooked by the 4th episode but it was 12th episode that the show got really amazing and has only gotten better. The 2nd and 4th seasons have been the best ones.

    ReplyDelete
  39. At this point, I'd cancel TTP. Even though I'd like it to be renewed, it's just a waste of money if no one is going to watch it.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Well, I think it could have very likely adjusted up to a 0.5 this week, had we not had the stupid baseball instead in so many places...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Looks like another bad week for the CW on the way.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Are we having another evil preemptions or end-of-the-world weather tonight? I hope not, please, no.

    ReplyDelete
  43. There were baseball preemptions last night, so I assume there are tonight as well.

    We've seriously got to get those starcrossed ratings quickly, if you currently do not want starcrossed please tune in on Monday from five till 6 PM. We really want to season two and will not be able to get it if we don't get more viewers so please just give it a shot! ❤️
