Ratings Breakdown:
ABC dominated this atypical evening care of the winter season-finale episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “How To Get Away With Murder.” But, keep in mind that all network and individual series results are approximate due to President Obama’s speech on immigration, which was carried locally on many affiliates across the country.
“Grey’s Anatomy” finished second in the household overnights (behind “The Big Bang Theory” and “Mom” on CBS), with a healthy 6.4 rating/10 share from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was a significant 146 percent above failed year-ago time period occupant “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” (2.5/ 4 on 11/21/13). And it led into a dominant 7.9/12 for “Scandal” at 9 p.m., which was 25 percent above “Grey’s Anatomy” on the year-ago evening (6.3/10). While moving any established series (particularly one as old as “Grey’s Anatomy”) is a risk, ABC should be commended for successfully doing so.
ABC’s freshman “How To Get Away With Murder,” meanwhile, held 91 percent of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Scandal” (8.1/12) with a 7.4/12 at 10 p.m. Three winners on the alphabet net!
“The Big Bang Theory” on CBS, of course, was the top-rated show of the night with a 10.0/16 at 8 p.m. But there has been slippage year-to-year. And relocated “Mom” at 8:30 p.m. scored a 6.5/10, which inched past competing “Grey’s Anatomy” on ABC by one-tenth of a rating point with retention of 65 percent out of “Big Bang.” Comparably, this overnight retention is almost identical to now canceled “The Millers” one year earlier. Note to “Big Bang’s” Melissa Rauch: Last night’s episode would be a good one to send to the Emmy voters.
At 9 p.m. on CBS was the final season of inane “Two and a Half Men” at a second-place 5.7/ 9 in the overnights, followed by episode four of “The McCarthys” at a 4.5/ 7 at 9:30 p.m. (#2). Comparably, laugh-challenged “The McCarthys” slipped by 21 percent from lead-in “Two and a Half Men” and 20 percent from Jon Cryer and Ashton Kutcher in this time period on the year-ago evening (5.6/ 9 on 11/21/13). Last week, a 4.4 in the overnights for “The McCarthys” translated into a 1.4 rating/4 share for among adults 18-49, based on the fast affiliate data. And for CBS on a Thursday, consider that a “loser.”
Drama “Elementary” closed the night for CBS with a distant second-place 4.5/ 7 at 10 p.m., which should only translate into a 1.0 rating in the demo. Note to CBS: You need to fix Thursday from 9:30-11 p.m.
Elsewhere, the results were minimal beginning with Fox’s combination of “Bones” (#4: 3.4/ 5 at 8 p.m.), which should call it quits this spring while there is still some audience, and limited drama “Gracepoint” (#3t: 2.3/ 4 at 9 p.m.), which has just not resonated. Diluted “The Biggest Loser” on NBC (#4: 3.1/ 5 at 8 p.m.) perked up by 11 percent in the overnights week to week, but 9-10 p.m. lead-out sitcoms “Bad Judge” (#3t, 2.3/ 4) and “A To Z” (#4: series low 1.5/ 2) clearly earned their cancellation stripes. Soon-to-conclude “Parenthood,” meanwhile, scored a third-place 2.7/ 5 at 10 p.m., which is worthy of positive mention because of the double-digit overnight growth out of “A To Z.”
The CW capped off this third Thursday in November with its pairing of dramas “The Vampire Diaries” (#5: 1.6/ 2) and “Reign” (#5: 1.0/ 2), which slipped, on average, by 19 percent from the year-ago evening.

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’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
So this is all basically useless until the finals come out.
ReplyDeleteyup but majority of ABC affiliates didn't pre-empt only a couple
ReplyDeleteDo you have a list of the ones that did pre-empt?
ReplyDeleteLooks like TVD and Reign are up a little?
ReplyDeleteno but it delayed the night by 15-20 mins
ReplyDeleteI only know Chicago/a market in TExas
Didnt air in NY.
ReplyDeleteSo, hopefully, the impact wasn't too big.
ReplyDeleteThis should be an interesting evening! Can't wait for the final results!
ReplyDeleteHoping for Reign to get at least 0,5!
Great for TGIT.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Obama!
And my theory of the impact not being big just went out of the window. Of course the biggest market in the US had to pre-empt it. Of course.
ReplyDeleteWABC did b/c I watched in NY
ReplyDeleteNo i mean the president address didnt air on ABC in NY
ReplyDeleteNY didn't or aleast WABC didn't (NYC and Lonig Island)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, sorry. I thought you meant that the line-up was pre-empted in NY. My apologies!
ReplyDeleteWas CW pre-empted?
ReplyDeleteI think Reign is up and TVD is down.
ReplyDeleteCBS is doing so bad this year x) Very bad decisions made for the 2014-2015 schedule....
ReplyDeleteEven if Elementary is close to syndication, it's definitely in danger, it's doing so bad...
Kansas City aired football on NBC. Im not sure about Oakland.but its a.West Coast market so probably wont matter much.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why you keep saying that. We've all explained that Elementary is a likely renewal before.
ReplyDeleteIt's not in danger!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the preemptions didn't affect ABC too bad. I wanted to see them hit even higher numbers than usual.
ReplyDeleteCBS was not pre-empted for football last night
ReplyDeleteI keep asking him that, too.
ReplyDeleteMost ABC Markets (well the ones owned directly did not preempted)
ReplyDeleteWas it pre-empted by the Obama speech?
ReplyDeleteThe other guy over at TBNT is even more annoying. he has been told, countless times, that Elementary won't be canceled unless it completely tanks ( well, unless it tanks even more that is) due to the fact that CBS will be making tons of profit based on the syndication deal.
ReplyDeleteBones started about 17 minutes late here in Indy.
ReplyDeleteI believe many markets across the nets were (especially ones that immigration affect the most like New Mexico or markets in Texas)
ReplyDeleteI pray the Lord that before being going her merry way (if you know what I mean) that Olivia took it upon herself to handle Obama speech, stopping it from affecting her - and the rest - shows.
ReplyDeleteOlivia Pope, you better have handled this.
TVD got a 1.4 in the households last week, so it's up a bit this week. Let's hope it is so that The CW can have a semi decent week haha.
ReplyDeleteWhere were elementary go next year ?- either Fridays or Sunday@10 if CSI Cyber flops
ReplyDeleteReally? I though 1.6 overnights is very high, wasn't it 1.3 last week or so?
ReplyDeleteSundays most likely.
ReplyDeleteMost stations only delayed by 15 mins it shouldn't have too big of an impact
ReplyDeleteprobably on sunday night, it's going to depend if CSI Vegas is going to be renewed (or moved from Sunday) or not... I don't think Cyber is going to be very good, debuting a new show on this timeslot is not a good decision... Delays due to Footlball play is hurting CSI now..
ReplyDelete"Note to “Big Bang’s” Melissa Rauch: Last night’s episode would be a good one to send to the Emmy voters"
ReplyDeleteWhat? Did I watch a different episode? I didn't notice anything special about ehr performance in that episode.
was Scandal on last night in NY or was it just delayed?
ReplyDeleteYou're right, I was looking at last week's numbers.trying to compare. I don't know enough about ratings.
ReplyDeleteit was on time- the president speech DID NOT air in NY
ReplyDeleteThanks. :)
ReplyDeleteI usually find his opinion way of base
ReplyDeleteApparently, it was on.
ReplyDeleteYep! In fact the one part of the episode I thought about watching got cut off so ... guess I'm glad I tried to FF to the end and found out right away that there was no "there" there.
ReplyDeleteIt's because it's in CBS. In his opinion, CBS should be the only series nominated for Emmy (or the old-skewing ones but that doesn't fit TBBT)
ReplyDeleteI wanna know where you are gathering this intel.
ReplyDeleteYh I often see people questioning his opinion in the comments, mainly about him being biased towards some shows.
ReplyDeleteI live in the NYC market and watch on WABC
ReplyDeleteBut you also seem to know about the other markets.
ReplyDeleteOdd, he's a CBS fan then :P
ReplyDeletebased off Facebook and twitter
ReplyDeleteSo far it seems ABC in Chicago/Texas/Indy were delayed
those HH don´t really tell us much about the demos i´ve seen tvd have a higher number one week in HH but get a lower demo than the week before so.... the top 25 will tell us more
ReplyDeleteWhen are we getting the top 25 ratings?
ReplyDeletePlease God, TVD adjust up
ReplyDeleteGrey's was preempted for the first 15 minutes according to facebook. Scandal and HTGAWM aired like normal from what I've heard.
ReplyDeleteNO REIGN :(
ReplyDeleteWe gotta wait until the finals, it seems.
ReplyDeleteNope. For some they dont get pre-empted by Presidential speeches. Or other news reports. Not in NY at least.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if MOMS will move? I think CBS might want to use that spot to launch The Odd couple
ReplyDeletePost this on his forum and there will be 10 people accusing you of being an ageist.
ReplyDeleteThey discuss every day that the A18-49 demo should be extinct and replaced by total viewers, calling the demo a "PR spin" to hide the networks failure.
I posted once how TGIT has been successful and Scandal is a hit only to be bashed because it doesn't hit 10 million viewers while some old-skewing CBS drama does it scoring half of the demo.
Too bad no one could answer why NBC renewed Community over Harry's Law.
My FOX affilate ran coverage of my state's high school championship. Not that it matters as I don't think I live in a top 25 market
ReplyDeleteHis forum must be frequented by people outside the demo (and it's okay, we love them too. The advertisers just don't share that passion.)
ReplyDeleteI hate preemptions.
ReplyDeleteSo does everybody. So does everybody.
ReplyDeleteI recorded Gracepoint to catch Bones' over-run.
ReplyDeleteIMO, it probably did better than Gracepoint.
ReplyDeleteNot that that's such an herculean fit, is it?
ReplyDeleteIt might move, but not now.
ReplyDeleteThe Millers cancellation gave time to McCarthys to stay at 9:30 despite awful ratings, maybe by march CBS decides to place Mom there and try The Odd Couple after TBBT (but they never trust their midseason shows).
It's close to december and all three CBS, NBC and CW haven't given us only hints about their midseason schedule. CW isn't going to change that much except for fridays and CBS too, but NBC's silence is head-scratching.
We pretty much won't know the real ratings for another 7 hours.
ReplyDeleteThat's basically it. So, hold your excitement in your pants, fanboy (this is me talking to myself). There's a long ride ahead.
ReplyDeleteCBS has announced most of its schedule already, at least until the end of the winter. The only thing still unknown are the spring premieres of Odd Couple and Cyber but those will premiere late, so there is still time.
ReplyDeleteAs for NBC, I suspect it's because of State of Affairs. The post voice slot is too important to be decided without knowing the potential for that show. If it doesn't hit next week, I expect them to announce that it will air through winter with an apprentice burnoff and something else will land on Mondays in the Spring. And the remaining slots are then a house of cards depending on this one (up until Fridays at 10 being or not Hannibal)
The CW should be announcing it soon. I expect there to be more changes than just Fridays to be honest. The Messengers will replace the 100 most likely but where izombie lands is interesting. I still think they will banish the virgin to fridays and move supernatural to mondays to allow the flash lead-in to be used on izombie.
It's not close to syndication, it already has a syndication deal. CBS would be stupid to give up on a 3 million per episode show.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised judging by your pic:)
ReplyDeleteI agree about NBC. They are probably trying to decide if they want State Of Affairs to go on hiatus for the winter so that it can return with The Voice in the Spring, or if they are going to burn off SofA in the winter so that they can launch something new in the Spring.
ReplyDeleteNBC should release more details on their mid-season no later than next week.
any TOP 25 today?
ReplyDeleteSuppose not.
ReplyDelete1.6 HH for TVD should put it at at least a 1.0?
ReplyDeleteCBS has a history of using TBBT lead-in for sitcoms they own and it never works out in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI hope TVD gets 0.8-0.9 this week and HTGAWM gets at least 3.0
ReplyDeleteI think HTGAWM gets a 3.
ReplyDeleteI hope tvd receive 0.9, the episode was wonderful! Deserves a good rating. I'm praying for that. lol
ReplyDeleteReign going down, it concludes that there will be a cancellation? Injuto, a great show.
It's actually been a little funny. Bones started about 20 minutes late in the Philly/South Jersey area. I don't know about ABC or NBC in my area though but CBS definitely wasn't.
ReplyDeleteTVD 0.8, Reign 0.4
ReplyDeleteGrey’s: 2.4
ReplyDeleteScandal: 3.1
HTGAWM: 3.1
TBBT: 4.0
Mom: 2.7
1/2 Men: 2.3
The McCarthys: 1.4
Elementary: 1.0
All in all, very disappoint for TGIT.
ReplyDeleteNBC ratings are inflated by a major pre-emption in Kansas City for Thursday Night Football on
ReplyDeleteKSBH. The NBC line-up was not “made good” (i.e., carried in late
night) in Kansas City so all of that local NFL viewing in KC will be
replaced by zero ratings for the NBC shows locally this afternoon in the
official nationals. Also, Biggest Loser ratings will
come down slightly because of scattered local pre-emptions for President
Obama’s address, which was not carried by a major English-language
broadcast network although many NBC stations on their own carried the
speech from 8:00-8:15 pm ET. Similar pre-emptions on FOX could slightly
impact Bones.
Weird I wonder if the speech had any effect
ReplyDeleteI guess you very expecting too much. It did great.
ReplyDeleteI expected like high 2's for Grey's, mid 3's for Scandal and low to mid 3's for HTGAWM.
ReplyDeleteomg what's going with tbbt :(
ReplyDeleteTBBT had a big drop from last week.
ReplyDeleteGreat for TGIT.
Mom is gonna adjust down, I guess, if not, then that's another series high.
Only 3 tenths separating TBBT and MF
ReplyDeleteI don't know. It just seems that the line-up is below what it was supposed to be for some reason.
ReplyDeleteHad it's peak.
ReplyDeletehope a series high :)
ReplyDeleteThere even so it's not like they went down
ReplyDeleteI was expecting a rise. I wonder if ABC was pre-empted somewhere and it can adjust up.
ReplyDeleteDoes Reign really warrant two more seasons (one full and a short final season) with it's current ratings?
ReplyDeleteYay!TVD got 0.8 and also grew in viewership!That episode was awesome!I knew it would be up!
ReplyDeleteeh? How would you assume that there will be two more?
ReplyDeletehope an adjust up
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteReign been at 0.4 -9.5 since last spring, it's not going down
ReplyDeleteGreat numbers for Parenthood! Is it at risk of adjusting down?
ReplyDeleteAt least 4 seasons are needed for syndication, If they renew it for a 3rd one, there is bound to be a short 4th one ala Nikita and HoD.
ReplyDeleteI'm just happy it's up.
ReplyDeleteHalf hours:
ReplyDeleteTVD: 0.8/0.8
Reign: 0.4/0.3
I swear that last year it seemed to adjust up every week. So it wouldn't shock me if it adjusted up today!
ReplyDeletethis season is awesome!
ReplyDeleteHTGAWM rose while Scandal dropped? lmaooo
ReplyDeleteI am sure the speech affected ratings last night
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can call this very disappointing. Maybe there was potential for a bit more but it appears that everyone is already watching live every week so there wouldn't be room for much bounce.
ReplyDeleteYikes at Reign for hitting a 0.3 in the 2nd half hour.
ReplyDeleteI knew HTGAWM would score above 3 but expected higher numbers for Scandal.
ReplyDeleteParenthood appears very inflated.
ReplyDeleteits only me that enjoying The McCarthys?
ReplyDeleteSeems that way.
ReplyDeleteIt's season two ratings are better than BatB were
ReplyDeleteReign will not get a 3rd season after this.
ReplyDeleteyeeeeaahhh...provided that the show is capable to sustain its audience.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck is happening with elementary?!?
ReplyDelete@Brandy Danforth:disqus seems to think it will no matter what happens.
ReplyDeleteThat's what everyone said aboutvBatB with even lower ratings than Reigns now
ReplyDeleteReign is performing so poorly.Sigh!
ReplyDeleteThat was like 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt has a terrible lead-in show. It's hurting it's ratings
ReplyDeleteno its good!
ReplyDeleteTrue.The point is,how many low rated shows can they afford to renew by the end of the season?
ReplyDeleteDeserves it more than The 100.
ReplyDeleteGun-smoke rule violation.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting more. Like a 2.6 for Grey's, a 3.4 for Scandal and something in the range of 3.2-3.3 for Murder.
ReplyDeleteThese ratings are all approximate given the live coverage done by affiliates so maybe they can adjust up. Hoping so.
All in all, perhaps, not very disappointing but a little at least.
