Ratings Breakdown:
Note: Monday Night Football on ESPN last night featured the Washington Redskins at the Dallas Cowboys.

Minus “The Big Bang Theory,” which is back anchoring Thursday, CBS lost steam on Monday as expected. Week to week the network slipped by 14 percent in the household overnights. But the immediate positive news was just full season-renewed drama “Scorpion,” which was consistent at a third-place 7.0 rating/10 share from 9-10 p.m. despite the smaller support from lead-in “The Millers” (#3; 4.5/ 7 at 8:30 p.m.). Comparably, “Scorpion” built from “The Millers” by a hefty 55 percent, and it outdelivered a repeat of “The Big Bang Theory” (5.5/ 8) and an original installment of “Mom” (4.7/ 7) on the year-ago evening, on average, by 37 percent.

“The Millers,” unfortunately, dropped by 25 percent from its week-ago sophomore season-opener (6.0/ 9 on Oct. 20) because “The Big Bang Theory” was not anchoring the evening. And its retention out of lead-in “2 Broke Girls” was lacking at 79 percent. One year earlier, “2 Broke Girls” in the Monday 8:30 p.m. half-hour was 20 percent higher at a 5.4/ 8 (on 10/28/13).

In season-premiere news, “2 Broke Girls” returned to CBS with a third-place 5.7/ 9 at 8 p.m., which was 44 percent below the 10.2/16 in the household overnights for “The Big Bang Theory” one week earlier. But versus year-ago occupant “How I Met Your Mother,” which was always a favorite in the young demos, “2 Broke Girls” was consistent. And that itself is worthy of honorable mention.

The Eye net’s relocated “NCIS: Los Angeles” remains a vast improvement over failed year-ago occupant “Hostages,” with a 5.8/ 9 at 10 p.m. One year earlier, “Hostages” scored a 3.3/ 5 on 10/28/13.

Overall, ABC topped the night in the household overnights with its pairing of veteran “Dancing With the Stars” (#1: 8.8/13 from 8-10 p.m.), which dropped by just four percent from one year earlier, and “Castle” (#2: 5.9/10), which slipped by 13 percent. And NBC’s combination of “The Voice” (#2: 8.2/12 from 8-10 p.m.) and “The Blacklist” (#1: 6.4/10) owns the night in adults 18-49 and all the key young adult demographics.

Elsewhere, Fox slipped, on average, by five percent week to week with its pairing of “Gotham” (#4: 4.3/ 6 at 8 p.m.) and “Sleepy Hollow” (#4: 3.0/ 4 at 9 p.m.). But “Gotham” remains a solid choice in the key demos and both dramas continue to resonate via the DVR.

Week three of critically acclaimed (and full season-renewed) “Jane the Virgin” on The CW, unfortunately, lost steam, with a 0.9/ 1 in the household overnights from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that was down by 10 percent from the 1.0/ 2 one week earlier. And that translated into 1.61 million viewers and a 0.6 rating/2 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data). Comparably, however, “Jane the Virgin” was still 12 percent above year-ago time period occupant “Beauty and the Beast” (0.8/ 1 on 10/28/13). And the overnight retention for “Jane” out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of relocated lead-in “The Originals” (1.0/ 1) was 90 percent. Three week household overnight track for “Jane the Virgin”: 1.1/ 2 – 1.0/ 2 – 0.9/ 1.

Earlier in the evening on The CW, sophomore “The Originals” could only muster a 1.1/ 2 (#5) from 8-9 p.m., which was eight percent below year-ago occupant “Hart of Dixie” (1.2/ 2 on 10/28/13).

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. Despite no TBBT, Gotham still seems down.

    ReplyDelete
  2. "full season-renewed" is not a term.


    Great that Scorpion held.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Seems like the sort of show more people DVR and stream than watch live.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Still waiting for the top 25 markets to make an assumption.

    ReplyDelete
  5. It doesn't look like the absence of TBBT made a difference for the competing networks- most shows seem steady or slightly up
    Gotham keeps falling..
    The Millers is probably in the 1

    ReplyDelete
  6. Cool that Scorpion appears to have held, I am sure CBS is happy that it gave it a full season renewal now! And 2 Broke Girls doesn't appear too bad actually. The Millers of course appears horrendous but who expected something else?


    On the CW, it is getting kind of silly to read every week that TO did worse than Dixie when it's doing so much better than it is in the demo, he should at least acknowledge the vastly different skews. Jane dropping is not unexpected.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I have actually started using it now lol, I don't mind it.

    ReplyDelete
  8. The Millers is probably in the mid 1s.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I pretty much hate that term, because it causes confusion to most newbies.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I will be forever bitter that CBS cancelled Friends with Better Lives and The Crazy Ones over this turkey. I am usually not one to hold grudges against shows like this but that's because networks are usually rational when doing their renewals and don't actively renew a show that's clearly weaker than shows that were cancelled.

    ReplyDelete
  11. They did a big mistake of cancelling friends with better lives instead of The millers

    ReplyDelete
  12. Is Gotham's drop substantial or something to be seriously worried about?

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's been dropping every week and needs to stabilize is all.

    ReplyDelete
  14. 2 Broke Girls seems to have done decent numbers. We'll have to see the demos, but if it premiered to mid 2s that's already a big win for it since it ended on 2.0 during the spring, flirting with 1s

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yeah, I know. I was just wondering if the drop this week is really eye-opening compared to last week. Very disappointing that it didn't gain any viewers even with TBBT gone.

    ReplyDelete
  16. FWBL had horrible ratings though

    ReplyDelete
  17. I agree 100% and I said so last year.

    ReplyDelete
  18. It's better to use "full season order" or "back 9" or pretty much every other term that doesn't use "renewal" on it to avoid any unnecesary confusions

    ReplyDelete
  19. It's too bad because Gotham had an excellent episode last night.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I don't think it is.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)28 October 2014 at 13:32

    I'm so happy for Scorpion :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yeah, CBS should have known the show was wasting TBBT's lead in and without it it would just implode in the ratings. They could have axed it and tried something better instead

    ReplyDelete
  23. Just like when How to be a Gentleman (owned by CBS) was axed after just 2 episodes in 2011. The Odd Couple or The McCarthys (Both Owned by CBS) could move into the 8:30 slot on Thursdays (CBS is an idiot switching back The Millers on Thursdays in midseason) unless Mom permanently stays there (which I hope happens)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm surprised Gotham didn't go up. It seemed like every ad during the World Series was for either Gotham or Sleepy Hollow. That aside, Gotham had a great episode last night.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It really didn't. Excluding its last episode which aired in the summer on a very low viewed night surrounded by repeats, its last 5 episodes ratings were:
    1.71 | 1.92 | 1.60 | 1.56 | 1.58

    This was airing out of low rated 2 Broke Girls originals (very low 2s) or repeats, against the voice and in the low viewed spring. By comparison, The Millers


    By comparison, despite airing against repeats on ABC and P&R on NBC, and leading out of 4s Big Bang Theory, The Millers was pulling 2.48 | 2.40 | 2.04 | 1.95 | 2.33.


    It really doesn't look to me like the second show is stronger than the first, taking into account the completely different circumstances.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My guess is that Mike and Molly takes over on Mondays in January and The Millers does go back to Thursdays but Mom also stays there, as the McHarthys will be cancelled by then.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Let's just hope that the 18-49 demo went to other direction. :D

    ReplyDelete
  28. So Scorpion appears to have held without TBBT. That's really good.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't know why people expected Gotham to go up,
    1. I don't think TBBT made too much of a difference
    2. Based on many reviews I have heard the show has been a tad disappointing

    ReplyDelete
  30. At least CBS seems to realize that Mom is a key to its future and will put that show behind TBBT on Thursdays. Right now, it's only temporary, but I'd bet that unless it somehow does far worse than TM at retaining TBBT's audience, it'll be there for the entire season. And if it picks up steam, I see it as a Thursday tentpole for the future, which is important, because then CBS can sandwich shows between it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Millers can die in the 9:30 slot where it will face competition with Scandal and The Blacklist.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I've only seen one episode of TM and maybe two of 2BG, so maybe I've missed something, but 2BG, in my opinion, deserves the hate it gets. TM, on the other hand? Well, all of the hate for it seems overblown. Maybe it's the missed potential.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It gets better with each episode. Problem is, the Nolan series really spoiled people into thinking Gotham (and the characters in it) can only be portrayed in one particular way.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was expecting it to go up because of the constant promos during the World Series, and the fact that there was less competition tonight really should have helped the show.


    As far as quality, the show is great. It's a beautifully-shot, intriguing, character-driven cop procedural. After a few episodes you don't even care that Batman is not actually present in the series. Actually if Batman was in the series it would take away from the plot, in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I doubt it, but regardless Gotham is going to be Fox's #1 scripted show for the week, so it's far from in danger.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I agree. Mom deserves the post-TBBT spot. M&M and 2BG can stabiles Monday 8pm.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm convinced CBS won't move TM back to Thursdays. if worse comes to worse, it can simply run a repeat of TBBT there. But even if The McCarthys fails, it has M&M (an underrated show) and TOC waiting in the wings, I can't see this show getting a lot of preference.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think it was abt time cw shows it real face on Mon.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I don't think there is ever going to be one of these "most hyped shows of the summer" shows that doesn't result in the "disappointing" narrative to some degree. It's just impossible. If promotion and hype work as well as they are supposed to be, a lot of people will check it out. By definition, it won't appeal to all those people, so all those people will be disappointed. It's just the natural cycle of things.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The long running argument has been that since CBS owns TM they will want to get it to syndication, but with these numbers I doubt that will happen.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Supposedly, WB decided declared that its superhero properties can't have a lot of jokes and/or need to be uber-serious, or something along those lines. I remember reading that when Guardians of the Galaxy came out.
    If that's true, then it's completely ridiculous. TDKR was just a bit too bleak for my tastes. But more than anything, it kind of limits what a director/producer might be able to do with tones and so on.

    ReplyDelete
  42. To me it has a lot to do with missed potential, yes. It has incredible actors in it that I usually adore and it's just dull in my opinion, wasting that incredible cast. To top it off, it requires most of those actors to not appear regularly on other gigs they have and in which I adore them (Beau Bridges in Masters of Sex, Margo Martindale in The Americans).

    The other reason is ratings to me. I don't think I remember a show being renewed without clearly earning it. People can hate all they want on Men, 2 Broke Girls, etc but those shows always had the ratings to be renewed, they pulled their own weight. The Millers? When did it do so? It was a guinea pig last year bleeding big bang's audience. And there were stronger comedies on the network (which yes I happened to really like) that were cancelled instead of it. So while not entirely rational, that also contributes to me having problems with that show.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I agree. I also think Mom will have to take the 9pm Thursday position as soon as this season when Men ends since The Millers clearly can't do it and I doubt they want to launch The Odd Couple there. Mom is a great comedy, that's something that I am happy that CBS is supporting!

    ReplyDelete
  44. even the crazy ones was better

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh, I know that argument, and if there was less of a problem with the numbers, that argument would make sense. But Mom is a good show that could take off if a few things go the right away. CBS needs another comedy anchor, so it make sense that they'd switch up Mom and TM in order to, among other things, get one. If for some reason they cancel TM, they can always put another show

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm sure that's just gossip. Nolan's movies were more bleak because that's the approach he wanted. And TDKR ended with a complete happily ever after ending anyway. For Gotham, there are jokes and things of a light nature.

    ReplyDelete
  47. My guess is that Mike and Molly takes over for the Millers on Mondays in January and The
    Millers does go back to Thursdays but Mom also stays there, as the
    McHarthys will be cancelled by then.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Even my least favorite episode of Mom was better than the pilot of The Millers. #Nooffense

    ReplyDelete
  49. I think it will be an interesting case study anyway. I am sure that CBS would be willing to put up with the ugly numbers for a couple more years or so if they had a guaranteed deal but which cable network will really go the distance for something like this that would justify not one, but two more full seasons? It's a big test of the syndication reach.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Maybe a streaming service could pay up for the syndication rights to The Millers, but it doesn't look like it's going to be an easy sell

    ReplyDelete
  51. If Mom gets good retention out of TBBT on Thursdays then it's not moving out of the 8:30 timeslot. Mike & Molly would probably go after 2 Broke Girls and The Millers would get the 9:30 timeslot on Thursdays and be burned off there until it gets enough episodes for syndicationin a couple of years

    ReplyDelete
  52. Katherine Castle 6928 October 2014 at 14:14

    Looks to be another bad week for Castle. Hope that ABC take in account football season when deciding if Castle should be renewed or not.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I agree. But damn is CBS really going to sacrifice the 9h30 Thursday slot (and implicitly the 10pm slot as well) as syndication farms? They already do it with Friday and Sunday. Pretty soon it will be half of their schedule if they go down that route.

    I don't see how they can keep TM there for another year. I assume they will need to move Elementary to a weekend night to launch something there and they certainly cannot expect to do so with a The Millers lead-in. It would be like when ABC tried to launch 3 new dramas out of Trophy Wife.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I am sure that they can sell The Millers someplace, but what I doubt is that it will be a deal that is valuable enough to offset all the losses that The Millers will imply for them until then.

    ReplyDelete
  55. If Castle doesn't get renewed, that will have to do more with contract issues than the ratings IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Well the show did make good ads sells last year even if it was only because of TBBT, so as long as it doesn't lose too much money on the ads sells I think it can still give CBS some extra bucks for the syndication money. However, I think any other show could have done this task much better, but this is the only reason why I can think The Millers still exist today; CBS wasn't so patient with How to be a Gentlemen which pulled the exact same numbers The Millers did last season and with a relatively lower rated- at the time- TBBT

    ReplyDelete
  57. I was really afraid for 2 Broke Girls......
    I'm not anymore :D

    ReplyDelete
  58. Yes scorpion!!! So happy it held up the show is just ridiculously fun not the same boring oh the criminal is the guy who appears in the first 5 main (even though I do love castle)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Agreed completely depends on stanza and Nathan its doing fine in its timeslot

    ReplyDelete
  60. How to Be a Gentlema had far worse relative ratings than The Millers so I don't think that's a fair comparison. I am sure CBS still had some standards, even if very low, when renewing the millers.

    As for the ad rates ,I wouldn't read too much into them since the adds were sold assuming the show would be following TBBT on Thursdays the whole season. The Monday arrangement wasn't announced so the prices we are seeing aren't the actual values being transactioned for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I think CBS is starting to go into the syndication farming business; they make a lot of procedurials and comedies that are easier sells to syndication than your usual serialized show.
    They could gather great ratings if they were more daring and generated a lot of buzz for some of their shows, but CBS is the least bold network I've ever seen; as far as I've seen they are not in the business of taking risk, but rather sticking with what they have and make the best out of it, even if it's not the best approach.


    If they have to launch something out of The Millers on Thursdays at 10, it will have to be something with a lot of buzz or it's going to be dead against How to get away with Murder

    ReplyDelete
  62. If 2 Broke Girls numbers hold or go up then we are seeing a Frozen boost like effect on the show, only this time with Kim Kardashian... that's good for the show, but also quite sad

    ReplyDelete
  63. One thing that has not been spoken of all that much, but is definitely a consideration, is that the stock of repeats for cable (and, I guess, streaming services) is slowly but surely drying up. Now that older shows like Modern Family, The Middle, and Parks are all in syndication, and shows like New Girl will be soon, what else is left? You've got hits like TBBT cranking out new shows, of course, but aside from what, what is there?
    I mention this because, unless a network is faced with an overabundance of shows (and only CBS could possibly qualify here), I can see them being more patient, especially if they own the show.
    There was an article about this in the last few months, by the way, although I can't remember where I read it.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Those are really good numbers for the show considering what it did on spring. Now the real test is next week; if it holds then the show can anchor Mondays for a while

    ReplyDelete
  65. Question on Originals mythology:
    Can you pull out an Originals heart? Last night the woman training with Elijah but her hand right through his chest. Im trying to remember if Damon or Stephan ever tried to "heart-snatch" them like they do to hybrids.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I guess, after all The Millers did get a 3.3 like that one time.
    I think The Millers can still make some money unless it starts doing low 1s; it's not going to be a lot- hell, it may be just barely enough to cover its cost-, but if I'm right and CBS wants to syndicate the show really badly, then that would be enough for them...


    That said, however, seeing the early top markets I wouldn't be surprised if The Millers start doing 1.2s starting next week. If so, then the show should be cancelled; CBS can't be that desperate to burn it off to syndication... or can it? It's a head scratcher

    ReplyDelete
  67. No, probably not. Friday nights are the syndication farm.
    I think Elementary could get moved, but it depends on what else the schedule needs. An obvious candidate for slot could be Scorpion. I don't see them making a big move of any of the Tuesday shows, and there's not much else that would make sense there. I wonder if they end Elementary early this season and then try Battle Creek in the slot.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I also have that dilemma. I kind of hope it does drop just to see what happens from a purely academical point of view. These type of situations interest me.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm wondering if Castle's ratings will go up once the Blacklist moves.

    ReplyDelete
  70. C'mon Gotham! Just pull that number!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I think Gotham will be down. It's usually at around 80% of the top 25 markets so that would put it between a 2.0 and a 2.1 :/

    ReplyDelete
  72. They probably will though it's possible that State of Affairs, although lower rated, is more female skewing and dents Castle more.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Oh poor CW!!! Monday is not a good day for the network...and I'm loving Jane,The Virgin!!! At least, TO is on the same way. And Gotham needs to stop falling!!! The show is amazing; every week, the episodes are getting better and better!!! I hope when we see the ratings later we can be happier!!!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Disappointing but still a good number for Fox

    ReplyDelete
  75. I agree... State of Affairs is more dangerous for Castle, if it does well, than Blacklist

    ReplyDelete
  76. FWBL was never in running to be renewed, TBH. The ratings just weren't enough for CBS

    ReplyDelete
  77. I always see you saying "McHarthys". It's McCarthys, lol

    ReplyDelete
  78. I know that the show is the first one at FOX but all the investment that FOX did for the show wasn't worth it. I say that because I still think 2.0/2.1 is not good enough!!! The show deserved to have around 2.5. And it isn't stable yet. IMO

    ReplyDelete
  79. Ah lol thanks for correcting me. I thought it was with an H. My bad.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I agree that once they had decided to go with 3 hours of comedy FWBL was not in the running but I disagree with it not doing enough for renewal. It did more than The Millers and I don't think it did less than Mom. It had a tough situation and did as well as could be expected IMO. It could grow. CBS executives claiming that they renewed TM instead of it because that one is a family comedy so they saw more potential with the stories instead of FWBL which was a hangout comedy is just ridiculous when we all know it was because of syndication and them owning the Millers.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Dammit Gotham, stabilize already.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I can't believe anybody would believe that lol. Probably some crazy DC hater said that.
    Also Gotham was a lot of jokes and The Flash too so that proves that ridiculous theory wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  83. The pilot got stellar reviews and people were going to be disappointed if they expected a Batman show. The show is a little bit uneven but it has gotten better with each episode. Gotham is a lot better and less disappointing than AoS was last year.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Also Burton. People still don't understand The Penguin in the Burton movie isn't the same character that exists in the comics.

    ReplyDelete
  85. If Heller wants Gotham's ratings to go up, he should pull a "How to get away with murder" and put in some pointless gay sex scenes. That sort of thing seems to attract viewers nowadays.

    ReplyDelete
  86. The Flash is getting the gay villain ;)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Yes, it deserves a 2.5 or higher, but people are just too bust watching one of the countless musical competitions on TV right now.... unfortunately. Still, at least Gotham will continue to be Fox's #1 scripted drama.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Taking into account that HTGAWM was up this week without any gay scenes, I fail to see your point.

    ReplyDelete
  89. I was making a joke. Should have counted on overly sensitive HTGAWM fans reacting.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I read that article actually and it came from one of DC's spokemen: it was DC way to state that they were going to be more serious than Marvel. They do jokes, but not as much as Marvel does, it's the way the try to set the difference

    ReplyDelete
  91. Cw having a mere gain in year to year percentage.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I think State of Affairs won't be able to sustain as high ratings as The Blacklist. It kinda looks cheesy and not even close to the quality of the Blacklist. But then again, viewers don't always go for quality...

    ReplyDelete
  93. Wow 0.5 demo for Jane and the ratings did not go down terribly. This makes all the shows which r waiting makes itchy

    ReplyDelete
  94. CBS:
    - 2BG: 2.4
    - TM: 1.8
    - Scorpion: 2.2
    - LA: 1.6

    ReplyDelete
  95. FOX:
    - Gotham: 2.2
    - Sleepy Hollow: 1.6

    ReplyDelete
  96. It got a 0.4. You were probably looking at the Top 25 Market number

    ReplyDelete
  97. Considering if Jane holds this ratings. Renewal is guaranteed

    ReplyDelete
  98. Just out of interest.. why are you posting the same numbers that are in the table? :)

    ReplyDelete
  99. Sadly Castle is inflated due to preemption in Dallas but I hope it doesn't adjust down more than .2

    ReplyDelete
  100. As long as it doesn't hit a 1.5 like last week I'm good.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I wonder if the CW are regretting their decision of giving Jane the back 9 now..

    ReplyDelete
  102. That 2.4 for 2 Broke Girls is not too shabby. Not great, but it's good.
    The Millers still hanging in there, though I don't think that 1.8 is going to hold.
    Scorpion still doing good

    ReplyDelete
  103. Wow never thought of that.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I doubt it will go down 4 tenths. Hoping for a 1.7

    ReplyDelete
  105. Great numbers for Gotham, Scorpion, and Blacklist!

    ReplyDelete
  106. It was a big game for Dallas so I'm sure the inflation is big.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Sleepy Hollow and Gotham down again.They are both good shows and deserve higher than what they get.

    ReplyDelete
  108. I hope it adjusts up because 0.4 is not that good!!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Are those actually great numbers for Scorpion and Gotham? People on twitter seem to be worried about both.

    ReplyDelete
  110. This needs to be the standard statement for Castle this season.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Scorpion should be fine if it stays above 2.0.
    The Millers is doing the same as Mom, but I think it's gonna fall in the coming weeks.
    NCIS: LA is not looking good.
    Gotham just can't seem to stabilize

    ReplyDelete
  112. If it doesn't go back up then yeah; still better than Batb in the ratings though, but it does look like they jumped the gun

    ReplyDelete
  113. Gotham keeps falling, last week it got a 2.3.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I don't think it will rate as high as the blacklist but it should be able to hold it's own... Depends on how much the anti-Heigl movement affects it lol... But Castle rated perfectly fine against Blacklist all last season which is why I think Blacklist never really affected Castle and Affairs is more dangerous

    ReplyDelete
  115. Someone has the 1/2 hours?

    ReplyDelete
  116. It would be nice to see a scene with Barbara and that lady from Major Crimes. I think ratings would go up with that

    ReplyDelete
  117. 2.2 is pretty stable.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Not nessicarily

    ReplyDelete
  119. They are ok numbers, none of them did bad

    ReplyDelete
  120. And The Blacklist strong again!!! Yessss....
    But sad for JTV and Gotham!!! =(

    ReplyDelete
  121. I believe it adjusted up to a 2.3 and was initially said to have gotten to a 2.2

    ReplyDelete
  122. https://twitter.com/TVMoJoe/status/527117578951749632

    ReplyDelete
  123. Why sad for Gotham? It dipped a tenth from last week, those numbers are not bad, especially on FOX

    ReplyDelete
  124. Yeah, I'm so confused right now. Half the people are acting like Gotham is free-falling. The other half say it's no big deal.

    ReplyDelete
  125. LA is doing the same as it was two weeks ago so it's not bad at all.

    ReplyDelete
  126. It got 0.4 at its 3rd episode.. in this rate it will match B&tB's 0.3 soon enough..

    ReplyDelete
  127. Originals:(
    Sleepy Hollow:(
    What happened to Jtv? I dont watch but it seemed like it was doing well. I was planning on checking it out but...

    ReplyDelete
  128. But I think the show is amazing and should have better numbers!!! Just that!!! It's still great for FOX considering how bad their numbers are nowadays!!!

  130. Honestly Castle has been able to hold up against a million shows in its 7 seasons. Really dnt think this one will affect any more.

    ReplyDelete
  131. LA looks good, I don't see the problem. It has the most competition out of any 10pm show and the this week it will probably have the lowest Monday-Wednesday lead-in. Yet, its numbers are still pretty much the same.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Yep, you are correct I just looked. I was going by the ratings we have in stv+ which said 2.3.

    ReplyDelete
  133. IDK, they were SO quick to give Jane the back 9 that I always figured it might be more about them expecting The Messengers and iZombie to completely tank, not them having any expectations Jane's ratings would hold at a 0.6 level.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Oh sorry I thought it was 0.5
    Then it should get up to 0.5 to be safe.

    ReplyDelete
  135. 2 Broke Girls did good actually. I was expecting a bit worse.

    ReplyDelete
  136. Wait, Castle was preempted again?! Last week it was also preempted, and it wasn´t even a big market:(

    ReplyDelete
  137. There are very few shows nowadays that break a 3 rating anyway, I'd say Gotham numbers would be good on any other network, but they also look better on FOX. Considering there are plenty of shows struggling with their numbers you should be happy that Gotham is doing good and that it seems that it has found a stable audience

    ReplyDelete
  138. Reign the100 and Jane r all in a renewal race. Its gonna be tight like last season

    ReplyDelete
  139. Is it still the #1 scripted show on Fox?

    ReplyDelete
  140. 0.4 that's not good.

    ReplyDelete
  141. The numbers are great for each respective network.

    Scorpion is CBS's strongest original drama since Elementary I believe.

    Gotham is still Fox's top rated drama.

    The Blacklist is up from last week and continues to dominate it's time slot.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Yeah,.....I think I should think positively. It will get renewed soon too.

    ReplyDelete
  143. That drop for the Blacklist - both from its lead in to each half hour - is nasty.

    ReplyDelete
  144. Thanks for the info.

    ReplyDelete
  145. The Originals is still stable, it is doing well, don't worry.

    ReplyDelete
  146. #1 scripted drama, but the #1 scripted show on FOX is The Simpsons right now

    ReplyDelete
  147. Dropping from the Voice is normal but the half hour drop is a little scary.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Probably a .2 drop not bad I increased it was obviously affected by the world series last week.

    ReplyDelete
  149. Eheh it hadn't loaded for me yet! Sorry about that :P

    ReplyDelete
  150. TBL was usually in the low 3's vicinity after TV. it dropped a full ratings point from its lead in and then another five tenths over the half hour.

    ReplyDelete
  151. If Community could get multiple syndication deals I'm sure the Millers could as well. I'm just doubtful CBS will renew it 2 more years since they have higher standards than the other networks.

    ReplyDelete
  152. Other shows leading out of the Voice have dropped more in the past so...ehh on that.
    Agree on the half hour numbers though.

    ReplyDelete
  153. 18-34 ratings per showbuzzdaily:
    CBS:
    2 Broke Girls: 1.6
    The Millers: 1.0
    Scorpion: 1.2
    NCSI:LA: 0.7


    FOX:
    Gotham: 1.7
    Sleepy Hollow: 1.1


    ABC:
    DWTS: 1.4
    Castle: 1.5


    NBC:
    The Voice: 2.6 (8-9PM) 2.9 (9-10PM)
    The Blacklist: 1.6


    CW:
    The Originals: 0.5
    JTV: 0.5


    2 Broke Girls pulled its own weight on adults 18-34, a very good return showing that the show skews enough young eyeballs.
    Gotham still doing amazing on the 18-34 demo, it can be considered a hit there.
    It always surprises me that DWTS has a good subset of 18-34 people watching it.
    The Voice is a monster hit with these demos

    ReplyDelete
  154. Well, I will start to pray right now....kkkkkk
    It's all starting again: Emily Owens, The Carrie Diaries, Reign, Jane The Virgin!!! I really hope JVT to get better numbers and that CW considers that it airs on a Monday, had great reviews on press and that the show is funny and adorable!!!

    ReplyDelete
  155. I think Scorpion is their strongest drama since POI actually. Elementary was never that strong in its opening year I think.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Last year they essentially burned off TTP after they gave it a back 9. So they can do the same with Jane this year on Fridays. I don't think it's telling at all that they did so.

    ReplyDelete
  157. On a different note: I wonder why is it that women watch more TV than men does. Checking out the skews, most show skew larger female audiences. Even The Blacklist, which I was sure skew male, has more women watching it.
    I find it quite intriguing

    ReplyDelete
  158. If it holds 0.4 throughout then I think it will be still on the race.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Same here, I thought it would do a 2.1

    ReplyDelete
  160. I think BatB isn't ready yet and Messengers & IZombie probably aren't either and if Jane didn't get a backorder,they'd have holes on the schedule( though HoD is ready to air but unlikely to move off Fri).Second,I think they just rodeJanes critical acclaim and it bringing in a different audience to CW.I doubt they expected Jane to stay at 0.6.

    ReplyDelete
  161. The blacklist half hours are ugly

    ReplyDelete
  162. Wes is the best :) I wish people would stop taking things so seriously. It was obvious it was a joke especially because of the people complaining about the gay sex scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Gotham's 2.2 In the 18-48 demo shows why Fox ordered more shows and why it has good chance for second season.

    ReplyDelete
  164. Gotta say Jane turned reviewers thoughts abt this show 180° from bad to good.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Six year in, the show should not be lead-in dependent.

    ReplyDelete
  166. There's a difference between being more serious and not having jokes at all. Like Winger said TDKR had a happy ending and Arrow, Gotham and The Flash (especially) all have jokes. The Flash is very light compared to all the other DC stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  167. it will get renewed but i am sure it will be 1s in spring. Also for a hype show for the fall its doing okay not great

    ReplyDelete
  168. Ha, no it's not a problem. I was just curious ;)

    ReplyDelete
  169. Great Castle bounced back after last week series low. The long awaited wedding episode is in two weeks, I am hoping for a rise in the ratings, at least to match its season premiere ratings. Im not gonna aim to high.

    ReplyDelete
  170. It's Family Guy actually:
    - Family Guy: 3.40
    - The Simpsons: 3.21
    - Gotham: 2.66
    - B99: 2.27
    - Sleepy Hollow: 1.77
    - Bones: 1.58

    ReplyDelete
  171. True, but the DVR additions are quite impressive. Problem is advertisers don't really seem to care about DVR numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  172. Yeah, I know, but that's only because of the crossover mega boost it had for its premiere, after that The Simpsons has been outrating it. The last time they aired The Simpsons gathered a 3.5 while Family Guy had a 2.5

    ReplyDelete
  173. Gotham had a 2.29 last week.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Keep in mind that ABC was pre-empted in the Dallas market. The numbers could change.

    ReplyDelete
  175. No.Its too far away from syndication,it's ratings will Likley get worse in spring and next season if renewed.CWs cancelled shows getting 0.4 in fall-EOMd for one.An 0.4 isn't good,especially so early in the season.Jane will tie Reign at 0.4 this week to be the lowest rated CW show week or if Reign holds to 9.5,Jane will be the lowest rated ,already that's not good.The fact is cheap,CBS owned,brings in a difference audience,& has critical acclaim give it some help but may not be enough to save it,

    ReplyDelete
  176. Yeah I know but also with age people are more likely to switch to DVR viewing and watch new shows live... With ratings slip recently I am nervous if Castle can rebound against Affairs, if it becomes a hit like it is promoted to be

    ReplyDelete
  177. Yeah but Fox's shows aren't doing great.Obviously American idel will bring ratings when it starts but they are having problems with their scripted shows.


    The demo for gotham befoe we get into DVR numbers explains why it will be around for awhile.

    ReplyDelete
  178. Just saw that ABC is inflated after I posted. If it adjusts down to a 1.8, I'm still happy with that.

    ReplyDelete
  179. How to be a gentlemen was a terrible unfunny show

    ReplyDelete
  180. I am not saying the show is lead-in dependent. That would mean it didn't have its own audience .I think it does. But of course casual viewing will be affected by the lead-in it has (as well as competition).

    ReplyDelete
  181. Ah true, I was going for season average, got you.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Yes, I'm from Brazil, so we are used to watch soap operas and we watch other ones special from Mexico and Venezuela (where they based the story of JTV), so for me, it's natural to watch and like it, it's in our culture. But, there, in the US, I don't know much about their taste and I thought many people would reject it before watch, but I was really surprised about some comments I saw online, from the audience and from the press!!! I always get attached with shows that I know will get canceled or will be on the bubble for a long time....kkkkk

    ReplyDelete
  183. The only shows on broadcast that skew male this season so far are the FOX Sunday comedy block (all four of them), all the comic book shows except for Constantine (Agents of Shield, Arrow, The Flash and Gotham) and The 100. There is also 60 Minutes if you want to count it but I am pretty sure that's just an effect of being sports lead-out on so many nights.

    Everything else is female skewing, including Sleepy Hollow. The Blacklist has a 60% skew (meaning that 60% of its audience are females) not including yesterday's airing.

    ReplyDelete
  184. They didn't have much choice, it didn't totally bomb out of the gate and with BatB,Messngers,Izomnbie not ready to air they didn't want to have holes in thier schedule.They were also thrilled about its critical acclaim and bringing in different viewers

    ReplyDelete
  185. Why would they wanna change the winning combn comic book shows r the cash maker for cw..

    ReplyDelete
  186. Gotham will be under 2.0 within two episodes and under 1.6 by the season finale. To the average viewer it's just another cop drama.

    ReplyDelete
  187. What? Gotham has basically gone down in ratings with every episode. By the time the season finale rolls around it could be bodering on 1.5.

    ReplyDelete
  188. B99 is having problems!s? Compared to where it was at the end of last it has been good numbers wise.

    ReplyDelete
  189. Deccent for TO,pretty stable & still improving the night.Deccent for 2 BGs about what I predicted.Jane at 0.4, I predicted that too,it's gonna be 0.3s or lower in spring if not sooner and have an uphil battle for renewal.

    ReplyDelete
  190. Aren't you a ray of sunshine. But while I disagree about the ratings, I agree about the premise of your post. The show badly needs more Bruce, Selina, and Penguin, and a lot less Bullock and Fish and whatever Gordon's girlfriend is called.

    ReplyDelete
  191. It's still Fox's #1 rated drama and according to people more knowledgeable about this subject on TV by the numbers, it barely went down from last week.

    ReplyDelete
  192. That Jane back 9 was way premature, could be under 1 million viewers soon and matching Beauty's ratings last season too.
    TO needs better support, still think they should move TO to 9 and air iZombie at 8 for a better night.

    ReplyDelete
  193. Don't pay attention to Justin. He's a DC hater. When The Flash premiered he said it was awful because it didn't get a 4.3 like AoS.

    ReplyDelete
  194. Ah. I see. That explains a lot. He's going on different ratings sites and parroting the same anti DC stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  195. I don't see how it was anything but awesome and did he watch the Pilot of Agents of Shield? It wasn't really good.

    ReplyDelete
  196. I think he's one of those Marvel fanatics who just hates everything to do with DC regardless of logic.
