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.

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. NBC was pre-empted in San Francisco for MLB Baseball.

  3. Hannibal will probably be adjusted down, Grimm is having some low ratings lately as well.

  4. Grimm has gone down in quality as of the last few episodes. This was one of my favorite new shows and now I have only a little interest to tune into season 4. I cannot stand Adalin/Baby/Juliette drama that seems to have completely muddied the show. The spoilers for season 4 all sound terrible as well and they are SUPPOSE to get you excited for the new season. Anyways this is probably why the ratings haven't been as good lately.

  5. I thought most people were pretty happy with this season of Grimm. Personally I think that the show has improved tremendously since season 1. Friday just sucks in general, for TV, and at least Grimm continues to get decent Live+7 ratings

  6. I haven't actually seen any of the episodes since Kelly took Adalind's baby and went off, so I didn't see yet the new Grimm even (I'm waiting on my brother to catch up). I'm sad to hear you think it's gone down in quality, since I really like the show. I guess I'll see for myself when I finally catch up.

  7. There are other people who think the last few episodes were the best of the season. It's just a matter of personal preference if someone likes the storylines or not. I'm still not sure if I like the new character and I'm not so fond of Adalind either but that has nothing to do with the quality of the show which is still great.

  8. Good to hear another perspective, thanks, hopefully I'll be able to catch up sometime soon and see for myself.

  9. I can only speak for myself, but I adored how the season started...they currently show the first episodes in my country, and I am all over them again. But next week they will reach the Krampus episode, and if I remember correctly, the show went mostly downhill from there on. There were a few good episodes, but also a lot of decisions which didn't really work. And the season finale was predictable and makes me wonder if I should turn in next season.

    I guess there are two group of Grimm fans...the ones who liked the fairy tale angle and are very dissatisfied that it was mostly forgetten during the last episodes, who like the current Grimm team and are not really keen on an addition and who would generally prefer that Grimm would stick to a story line instead of adding more and more to the pile.

    And the other one who keeps expecting the show to become more Buffy and Angle-like and wants it to stick to the story-arc, disregarding all the little cases which made Grimm so good during the first season.

  10. I'm not sure I fall into any of those groups. What I like about Grimm is that they've managed to have interesting cases as well as an interesting ongoing story. This particular season did a great job of that, I think.
