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)

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

Tuesday 5/13/14 Metered Markets
Clean Sweep for CBS; “Riot” DOA on Fox

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 9.1/15
NBC 5.1/ 8
ABC 2.8/ 4
Fox 1.4/ 2
CW 1.2/ 2

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Tuesday 5/14/13:
CW: +50, CBS: +10, NBC: + 4, ABC: -51, Fox: -58

———-

-Winners:
“NCIS” (CBS), “The Voice” (NBC), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (CBS), “Person of Interest” (CBS), “Chicago Fire” (NBC)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Glee” (Fox), “Riot” (Fox), “The Goldbergs” (ABC), “Trophy Wife” (ABC), “Celebrity Wife Swap” (ABC)

———-

-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another Tuesday overnight household sweep for CBS with its combination of the season-ending episodes of “NCIS” (10.7 rating/17 share: #1 for the night), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9.3/14) and “Person of Interest” (7.2/12). Comparably, the Eye net bested No. 2 NBC, which featured “The Voice” (#2: 6.9/11), two episodes of “About a Boy” (9 p.m.: #2: 4.1/ 6; 9:30 p.m.: #2: 3.7/ 6) and sophomore “Chicago Fire” (#2: 4.7/ 7) – by 78 percent. The 9:30 p.m. installment of “About a Boy,” which will air in this time period next season (out of new sitcom “Marry Me”), was the season-finale.

In series-premiere news, Fox non-scripted hour “Riot” was DOA with a mere 1.1/ 2 (#5) in the overnights from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that was 41 percent below the week-ago combination of sitcoms “New Girl” and “The Mindy Project,” and the retention out of the season-finale of lead-in “Glee” (#4, 1.8/ 3 at 8 p.m.) was just 61 percent. All together now…OUCH!

ABC featured the “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” season-ender (#3: 4.0/ 7), which has not been the big attraction the network was hoping for, followed by the season-finale of “The Goldbergs” (#3: 2.9/ 4), the series-finale of “Trophy Wife” (#3: 2.0/ 3), and another low-rated installment of “Celebrity Wife Swap” (#3: 2.0/ 3), which featured Angie Everhart/Pat and Gina Neely. “The Goldbergs” will benefit next season, no doubt, in the Wednesday 8:30 p.m. half-hour out of “The Middle” and into “Modern Family.” But ABC missed an opportunity this season by not scheduling worthy “Trophy Wife” out of “Modern Family” (opting instead to waste it on failed “Super Fun Night” and “Mixology”).

The CW capped off this second Tuesday in May with the season finale of “The Originals” (#5: 1.3/ 2), which was the biggest draw of the net’s five new dramas this season, and “Supernatural” (#3: 1.4/ 2), which beat competing “Riot” on Fox by 27 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). 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 Ratings FAQ.

  1. But ABC missed an opportunity this season by not scheduling worthy “Trophy Wife” out of “Modern Family”


    I rarely agree with Marc but he is right there, they should have at least tried that combination.

    Wow, Riot bombed so hard that it even got beat by Supernatural!

  3. "The 9:30 p.m. installment of “About a Boy,” which will air in this time period next season (out of new sitcom “Marry Me”), was the season-finale."
    There's something wrong about this ... AAB season finale is ep 1x13, last night was episode 1x12.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Totally agree. And I liked anyway the nice 'series finale' of TW: an unusual family that will keep on being happy and make fun of each other, despite ABC bad scheduling & marketing. What a waist of a good story & great actors ... #CancelPaulLee

    ReplyDelete
  5. Sadly, I find it SHIELD's numbers to be too low for the season finale it had.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Paul Lee reminds me of those popular guys from high school and college that never give anyone a chance to be friends with them. I loved Trophy Wife and he refused to answer why he never put it after Modern Family. #FirePaulLee #CancelPaulLee

    ReplyDelete
  7. Yeah it was a nice finale, Kate was finally accepted as a mother by Diane and Jackie and that was so sweet! I really loved the family dynamic, how Pete had ex-wives but they didn't hate each other, how the kids weren't annoying! It was a nice change.

    ReplyDelete
  8. That was a one hour season finale.

    ReplyDelete
  9. no, actually last night was both 1x12 and 1x13 :) they announced the rescheduling last week

    ReplyDelete
  10. Ouch ! So I DID miss the second episode ... :-((

    ReplyDelete
  11. Aos appears to be up in overnights. I didn't get to watch it last night. My dvr box is still on the fritz and my cable company is being real slow about it.

    ReplyDelete
  12. CW beating FOX will become an everyday event next season ...

    Well that depends on the new shows i actually think a couple of they´re new stuff could succeed but my gawd Glee how they let it get to this is beyond me any other network would have pulled it of the air a long time ago and let the finale episodes run this summer.

    ReplyDelete
  14. CW pre-empted NY. Gonna catch the TO/SPN finales On Demand tonight.
    Last Monday on Bones, was the red head intern Raj's girlfriend on Big Bang?

  17. Way to go CW! I don't hardly watch anything on Fox so I never even heard about Riot. It doesn't look like anyone else did either.

  20. Can Glee sink any lower? The last season should have like 6 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Glee will be at BATB levels next season.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is it wrong that I busted out laughing when I saw Fox's ratings?

    ReplyDelete
  23. CW bested FOX!
    Riot tied The Assets as worst broadcast debut ever ...

    ReplyDelete
  24. NCIS beat The Voice in first half-hour, and ties in second half-hour.

    ReplyDelete
  25. 1.9 for AOS ! :(
    Hope it will be adjust up

    ReplyDelete
  26. CW was preempted.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Is it bad I'm awfully gleeful (get it?) that The CW beat Fox last night? Granted The CW was pre-empted in a lot of places and will likely be adjusted down but still, sucks to be Fox

    ReplyDelete
  28. They can also do a 3-eps "special closure" mini-season ... no way FOX really will keep its committment in a 22-eps season with such disaster demos.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Down 0.2 or 0.1 on finals for cw? Hope 0.1 since baseball scews

    ReplyDelete
  30. Devon Maxwell-Pierce14 May 2014 at 16:30

    What was the previous low for Glee. Isn't this like three-tenths below that?

    ReplyDelete
  31. So, NCIS #1 drama for broadcast this week. Grey's is the only show capable of doing better.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yesterday it was just a 0.1 adjustment for Star-Crossed, but it was pretty much ended up in the exact same place it usually is. But I'm airing on the side of caution and guessing it might be a 0.2 drop tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Good for supernatural

    ReplyDelete
  34. Eidnoreid Pills14 May 2014 at 16:34

    Pretty much, it's collapsing.

    ReplyDelete
  35. EuphemiaWonderland14 May 2014 at 16:35

    Even if it gets adjusted two tenths The CW still beat Fox.

    ReplyDelete
  36. the originals got 2.06 despite not being aired in many major cities due to a match..amazing for the cw

    ReplyDelete
  37. EuphemiaWonderland14 May 2014 at 16:37

    Next season is going to get a 0.3.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Didn't The Blacklist score a 2.6 in demo as well?

    ReplyDelete
  39. Pablo Troncoso14 May 2014 at 16:40

    The Voice will probably go up in the finals, but NCSI may win if it adjust up too, which is a bit surprising!
    LOL at The CW beating FOX! Glee was benched for midseason, but this kind of ratings call for a summer burn off

    ReplyDelete
  40. Pablo Troncoso14 May 2014 at 16:41

    Then it ties for #1

    ReplyDelete
  41. Glad The Originals went up, totally deserved!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Yes, til Grey's Anatomy airs.

    ReplyDelete
  43. No, if a show ties, we use viewership for a tie-breaker. So, NCIS *is* #1 and TBL #2.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Absolutely not. Fox is the new CW and it's hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Those AoS numbers are not as high as I had hoped they would be. I'm hoping that the word of mouth will encourage people to marathon AoS during the hiatus and tune in for season 2.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oh god fox was terrable last night being beated by the CW. How low has glee fallen.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I still can't believe FOX cancelled Almost Human after looking at the ratings of the shows it is still showing!

    ReplyDelete
  48. That's it for SHIELD? No growth for the finale? Lame, Nielsen viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  49. SHIELDNCISArrowfan14 May 2014 at 18:46

    could be because it facing against a emotional NCIS finale, The Voice Big episode plus the factor of NHL/NBA playoff also happening......I expecting it to go up 2.0 in the final adjustment

    ReplyDelete
  50. SHIELDNCISArrowfan14 May 2014 at 18:47

    it better than last week and It probably go up

    ReplyDelete
  51. Brandy Danforth14 May 2014 at 19:29

    At thier upfronts,Fox said theatre holding Glee til Midseason and reducing its episodes order next season

    ReplyDelete
  52. I'll miss you Trophy Wife!

    ReplyDelete
  53. there is something funny going on when the CW can beat Fox in the Rating. Ok to SPN for going up just a little but still not getting the Rating it did in the 1st part of the season and why are the Pre-empting so much they never use to do that?
