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)

Tables being updated live. Please refresh for updates.


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)

Metered Market Wednesday Ratings
CBS Leads; NBC Most Improved

Wednesday 12/10/14

Household
Rating/Share
CBS 5.8/ 9
ABC 5.1/ 8
NBC 4.8/ 8
Fox 2.7/ 4
CW 1.6/ 3

-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Wednesday 12/11/13:
NBC: +26, ABC: + 9, CW: – 6, CBS: -15, Fox: -27
———-

Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. These overnights are your first look at the ratings and a precursor to what could lie ahead. And we take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.

-Winners:
“Survivor” (CBS), “The Middle” (ABC), “The Goldbergs” (ABC), “Modern Family” (ABC), “Black-ish” (ABC), “Criminal Minds” (CBS)

-Honorable Mention:
“The Mysteries of Laura” (NBC)

-Tired:
“Hell’s Kitchen” (Fox)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“The 100” (CW)
———-

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS topped this second Wednesday in December, besting No. 2 ABC by 14 percent in the household overnights. And most improved remained older-skewing NBC at a year-to-year rise of 26 percent thanks to its drama combination of freshman “The Mysteries of Laura” (#3: 5.3/ 8), veteran “Law & Order: SVU” (#3: 4.7/ 7) and sophomore “Chicago PD” (#2: 4.4/ 8), which trailed competing “Stalker” on CBS (#1: 5.0/ 9) by 12 percent. Comparably, “The Mysteries of Laura” and “SVU,” on average, were 28 percent above two-hours of year-ago occupant “The Sing-Off” (3.9/ 6 on 12/11/13). But a 1.8 rating/5 share among adults 18-49 for “The Sing-Off,” based on the Live Plus Same Day data, will be stronger.

To the masses, including myself, who may have complained that this edition of CBS’ “Survivor” is not one of the better fall seasons, last night was truly exceptional and all the more reason to believe that this ageless franchise will last indefinitely. “Survivor” scored a 5.8/ 9 in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m., which was eight percent below the 6.3/10 on the year-ago evening. And it led into 6.5/10 for veteran “Criminal Minds” at 9 p.m., which was first overall for the hour in the overnights. Year-to-year, “Criminal Minds” slipped by 12 percent (versus a 7.4/12 on 12/11/13).

Although aforementioned “Stalker” did lead the 10 p.m. hour, the 5.0/ 9 was 28 percent below year-ago occupant “CSI” (6.9/12 on 12/11/13). As a reminder, upcoming “CSI: Cyber” will be stepping into the Wednesday 10 p.m. hour effective on March 4 (when “Stalker” takes a break).

“Modern Family” was the Wednesday standout, as always, on ABC, with a 6.8/11 in the 9 p.m. half-hour (#1 for the evening). Comparably, that was 36 percent above lead-in “The Goldbergs” (#3: 5.0/ 8 at 8:30 p.m.), which remains a vast improvement over failed year-ago occupant “Back in the Game.” And it led into a 5.1/ 8 (#2) for freshman “Black-ish” at 9:30 p.m., which is also significantly stronger than failed year-ago occupant “Super Fun Night.” While ABC has improved its sitcom fortunes on Wednesday, positioning upcoming “Fresh Off the Boat” as the Tuesday 8 p.m. anchor is a suicide mission.

Earlier in the evening on ABC was “The Middle” at a 5.8/ 9, which tied the first half of competing “Survivor” on CBS. And modest drama “Nashville” scored a typical third-place 3.9/ 7 at 10 p.m.

Elsewhere, two-hours of Fox’s tired “Hell’s Kitchen” averaged a 2.7/ 4 from 8-10 p.m., which was 27 percent below two-hours of year-ago occupant “The X Factor” (3.7/ 6 on 12/11/13). And the weak midweek link on The CW remains “The 100” (#5: 1.1/ 2 at 9 p.m.), which slipped by 48 percent from the 2.1/ 3 (#5) for lead-in “Arrow.”

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 (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).

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

  1. So can't even imagine in what this will translate for the CW shows. Especially Arrow!
    Hoping it to be over 1,1.

    ReplyDelete
  2. the arrow was absolutely mind blowing!!!


    It deserves an all time high rating for this episode!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Seems like The Middle really rebounded. The Goldbergs too.

    ReplyDelete
  4. hope Arrow stays above 1.0!!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. That HH rating doesn't look good for The 100 but HH ratings are fairly unreliable. I just hope it stays at 0.6 and gets at least 0.6 next week too.

    ReplyDelete
  6. The 100 is pretty untouchable now and so is JTV. Reign is dead man walking

    ReplyDelete
  7. I wouldn't say untouchable, it's certainly a lot safer but it depends on the mid-season shows too.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Why would Jane be untouchable?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Golden Globe nomination. The CW has not seen one in nearly a decade.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Because of the golden Globe nomination, i assume

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh, i see it now :)


    As a big fan of Jane, it makes me very happy


    But as a huge fan of Reign, it makes me kinda disappointed

    ReplyDelete
  12. The 100 and JTV represent the change in The CW. They are both mature dramas that have been so highly praised compared to the red headed step child (Reign) that they will most likely survive. Reign can only go down from here, the other two will surely rise.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Sorry but Reign has the smallest of chances. It may get a 13 ep order for summer if BATB is truly dead

    ReplyDelete
  14. Stalker seems low like last week,,,Sad =(

    ReplyDelete
  15. That doesn't make the virgin untouchable.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I hope you're right, I just hope The 100 doesn't break it's upward trend (especially next week with no Arrow, I hope it prove itself again like it did last season with no Arrow)

    ReplyDelete
  17. why not? It will be a nice little thing to take into The CW's tribune meeting instead of "Yeah..we have this um drama on Thursdays called Reign...uh yeah...." they can be like " We have this fantastic Golden Globe nominated (maybe winner) show called Jane The Virgin with fairly respectable ratings (well better than Reigns and its cheaper too)"

    ReplyDelete
  18. Doesn't mean its untouchable

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love STV. I do not love Marc Berman. I, in fact, would like to dip his typing fingers in superglue.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I surely wouldn't say its untouchable. If it drops hard to 0,3s it's pretty much doomed, even 0,4s will be tough for it to pull a season 2. It aired just 8 eps and it has a long way to go.

    ReplyDelete
  21. So everyones suggesting that they keep low rated Reign that offers them no advantages at all?

    ReplyDelete
  22. It is closer to syndication.


    This nomination might be huge, and if ratings will increase from now on, they will definitely renew Jane, but if it falls to 0.3 in spring in its first season, i do not think even GG nom can save it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Reign already has an advantage for being in it's second season. I just say if JTV drops to lower numbers it's more likely for them to renew Reign. At this moment JTV probably has the slim advantage but it's too early in the season to tell. TTP last season was also this solid in 2013 but dropped later in spring 2014.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The 100 has to get .6. Last night's ep was great

    ReplyDelete
  25. 3x05 was 1.1 with a HH rating of 2.1

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks for the info. So we are there around those number. Thing this is good retention! From last week. But let's see maybe it even translates to bigger numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Would someone get Marc to shut up about The 100 already?
    It's much safer than some of the shows on the CW.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Arrow - 1.0/1.1
    The 100 - 0.66/0.5

    ReplyDelete
  29. He just wants it to fail so his precious JTV will look safer.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I hope Arrow adjusts up later today.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am hoping it can match it.

    ReplyDelete
  32. More than one show is likely to be cancelled, so I agree that it depends on the mid-season shows.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Arrow not on the winner list??

    ReplyDelete
  34. Arrow deserves high numbers like the flash, and i have to say everyone who doesn't watch the Arrow is a weirdo.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Same I could say for The 100

    ReplyDelete
  36. I do hope you are right...I tried watching Reign again but it is not my type of show. First was nice kinda but second...no way.

    ReplyDelete
  37. You know Marc is very biased against shows with bad retention.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Wait did Middle beat Goldbergs and ackish in hh? That doesn't usually happen right?

    ReplyDelete
  39. The Middle always beat The Goldbergs in HH and viewers. The Goldbergs builds on it in the demo.

    ReplyDelete
  40. By that much?

    I feel like The Goldbergs' demo is that of 80s kids and their children. The Middle probably has a similar demo just with slightly older people. I think it attracts people just older and just younger in the demo. I'm kind of hoping that the kids that started watching S1 when they were 12 turn 18 and give it a demo spike :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. That does seem like the biggest margin yet. Last week it was by 4 tenths. This week by 8 tenths. The Goldbergs maybe should have done a Hannukkah episode.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The should cancel all the non-DC comic shows on CW (meaning everything but Arrow and Flash)...then, CW should pick the "in limbo" Constantine...and then create six more DC Comic TV shows (all helmed by those helming Arrow-Flash) and change the name "CW" into "DC UNIVERSE NETWORK...meaning, go all in with DC...

    ReplyDelete
  43. So does higher HH mean more families are watching I stead of individual people? Can someone explain? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  44. Arrow was amazing! Here hoping for a 1.1 on the demo... A 1.2 would be asking too much, but c'mon! The episode was amazing!


    People talk a lot about The 100... I might end up watching what's all the fuzz about.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Eh, not many people I know are Jewish but they could have pulled it off.

    I wonder if ABC will be repeating comedy Christmas specials on Christmas Eve/Day this year

    ReplyDelete
  46. Marc really loves Survivor

    ReplyDelete
  47. I just hope that the nomination will not backfire in The 100. Somehow I have my doubts that it is a good sign for the show

    ReplyDelete
  48. http://maithaidiaries.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/05f.jpeg

    ReplyDelete
  49. Reign is closer to syndication and not a genre show( either is Jane)& CW dosent want all genre shows.If Jane falls in ratings in spring,it won't be untouchable.Critcal acclaim most of the time dosent bring great ratings nor rise in ratings,Janes already been below a million Viewrs once in episodes six,that's not good.Reign may be renewed for a short 13 episode final season as you said but Jane,athe 100 wiint be renewed over it.Reign will still be renewed.Gina & Jane may not even win,the 100,TO,Nikita all were nominated for Emmys but none won.

    ReplyDelete
  50. JTV has gotten two 0.5's and a 0.6 and the rest 0.4's in its first season in fall.
    Reign has hit two 0.5's one 0.3 and the rest 0.4 in season 2....

    This time last year, Reign was hitting consistant 0.6/0.7.

    Jane has never hit 0.7

    ReplyDelete
  51. HH indicates number of households watching a particular show without the demos separated out.

    ReplyDelete
  52. It's a really great show, one of my favourites! You should definitely try it :)

    ReplyDelete
  53. You should watch The 100. Its a completely serialized post apocalyptic story. Season 1 was great. Season 2 is simply awesome. Fast paced story telling and great action. Some great adult characters too. You will like it.. I always wonder why most Arrow viewers don't watch the 100?

    ReplyDelete
  54. LOL

    https://31.media.tumblr.com/ff66a927ce9b9fd6e5a02be1110bd633/tumblr_inline_n96ivq063L1ruqnkn.gif

    ReplyDelete
  55. It is really worth to watch! At least give it a try

    ReplyDelete
  56. Why is on the table "The Arrow" instead of just "Arrow"?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Arrow 1.0 (half hours 1.1/1.0)
    The 100 0.6 (half hours 0.6/0.6)

    ReplyDelete
  58. seriously 1.0 for arrow doesn't deserve those rating it should have been like 1.4-1.5

    ReplyDelete
  59. Arrow is above 1! Well deserved!
    And good for The 100 remaining steady! I hope it doesn't adjust down.
    I bet it will do a 0.6/0.5 next week without Arrow lead in, which shows that it is stable on its own

    ReplyDelete
  60. And just like that mysteries of Laura went from being bubble show

    ReplyDelete
  61. Yes it's does. CW will never cancel a show who had a golden globes nomination.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Looks like ABC comedies have rebounded

    ReplyDelete
  63. What did it get? My table doesn't want to work

    ReplyDelete
  64. I don't want to read his mini-recaps every week.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Especially The Middle. The little workhorse.
    Although I wonder if MF will adjust up to a 3.1

    ReplyDelete
  66. So glad to see The Middle back to 2s :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. Ouch? Why? Is still doing a lot better than any other show that followed MF.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Its at a 3,1 now , you mean 3,2?
    and yup The Middle keeps going


    theres no way abc is breaking this line up yet

    ReplyDelete
  69. The 100 better not adjust down! And I hope Arrow goes up.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Heck its doing better than any comedy on CBS (minus TBBT and maybe Moms), NBC, and FOX

    ReplyDelete
  71. I think this is the 1st time Goldbergs has beaten Black-ish in total viewers. It will beat Black-ish in the demo pretty soon.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Rough night for NBC

    ReplyDelete
  73. Off night for NBC. I'm sure SVU and Chicago PD will bounce back even if a little, but Laura seems like it will stay at that rating or go lower

    ReplyDelete
  74. Another bad night for NBC... And I was expecting a little more for Arrow, something around 1.1-1.2, but that's good too.

    ReplyDelete
  75. FOX's Brooklyn Nine Nine sometimes does better, though it is mostly because of its Simpsons lead in

    ReplyDelete
  76. SVU/PD tend to go up and down

    ReplyDelete
  77. They are a real rollercosters, but thankfully for NBC, they never go down too much (below 1.3, that is)

    ReplyDelete
  78. Jean-Maxime Renault11 December 2014 at 16:15

    So now, ABC is also winning the 10pm timeslot on Wednesday!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Yeah, I'm surprised Arrow isn't higher (mid-season finale + crossover residual). But it could still adjust up to a 1.1 at least.

    ReplyDelete
  80. yup but I have no long SVU is going to keep going (I can't see more than 2-3)

    ReplyDelete
  81. First time this season. It is actually really impressive how steady Nashville is. It hasn't moved from that 1.5-1.4 this season

    ReplyDelete
  82. very steady (hopefully it can continue next season when it likely moves)

    ReplyDelete
  83. Big drop from a compatible leadin and Middle and Goldbergs could have easily beaten it with that time slot. I'm not hating, my point is just that it would go sub-2 without Modern Family

    ReplyDelete
  84. I still think there's a tiny chance it'll be renewed for Fridays, it doesn't look too expensive (cheaper than SofA, that's for sure) and has been steady so far.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Good for the 100

    ReplyDelete
  86. I love how The Goldbergs had improved this season. Shield didnt help it last season.
    Great for Arrow and that 1.0. The 100 steady on 0.6. Im happy bout it

    ReplyDelete
  87. Really sad for Stalker... Now, it's cancelled for sure....

    ReplyDelete
  88. Arrow's most watched episode of the season! An adjustment up to 1.1 seems really likely!

    ReplyDelete
  89. I was expecting Arrow to be 1+. Guess the Flash fans didn't stick around. Might adjust up.

    ReplyDelete
  90. The Middle 100% rebounded from last week. Fantastic!

    ReplyDelete
  91. now? It happened once lol. Embarrassing.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'm not completely sure. The nomination is a huge boost since The CW has never had a show nominated for Best Comdey or Best Performance, this may change everything since Jane's ratings are not the bottom of the barrel (at least not yet). I think this gives CW some incentive to keep it around.... it doesn't make it untouchable, but it does boost its chances in a way

    ReplyDelete
  93. While scrolling down I read 0.4. I thought 'The 100 got 0.4? please, no, it can't be real'. Luckily it's the 18-34 rating, not the 18-49 one :)

    ReplyDelete
  94. Never gonna happen.First WB soley owns &produces DC shoes and CW is a joint venture.Second,Pedowitz has said last Jan &in OCzt that CW has too many genre shows&they dont wanna be all genre all the time.Thid,Jane got two GG nims &Czw biggest affilites _Tribunes_support

    ReplyDelete
  95. CW will cancel The 10 which is exspensive in favor of cheaper shows that are critically acclaimed or halfway to syndication-Jane & Reign.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Not even close. It's performing way better than the terrible numbers Hostages did. I'm not saying it's a definite to be saved, however, it certainly isn't destined for cancellation. Couldn't be farther from the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  97. The show did fine airing by itself this past summer, so I don't see any reason why it would collapse now.

    ReplyDelete
  98. I don't know, if it's already doing a 1.2, it'll be below a 1.0 come spring. If it makes it to renewal from there, a Friday switch would have it even lower.

    ReplyDelete
  99. It's the lowest show on the WB totem pole, so it's in at least some danger.

    ReplyDelete
  100. You are so bitter about Reign. Didn't you watch the show until a couple of weeks ago? You ARE aware that the show didn't rape YOU, right? Pathetic.

    ReplyDelete
  101. The fact it didn't get a full season -only 20 episodes- and not all those air in regular season and it got beat this week by a third season show-Nashville-& dosent have another edge like Mzs bringing wealthy Viewrs and it's owned by WB not CBzs,Staljer is certain to be cancelled

    ReplyDelete
  102. True and great point.

    ReplyDelete
  103. seems like crossover with flash has helped arrow.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I really don't think it would do much worse than Dracula and Constantine (or any other horror show NBC would try to put after Grimm) and serve as a low rated spackle option for the network. Something around 0.9-1.0 should be enough there. But they need to try it on Fridays this season, before any decisions.

    ReplyDelete
  105. The 100 retained 0.6.. I am glad.. I hope we will get a 0.7 soon. Arrow 1.0.. I expected something over one.. Still good enough

    ReplyDelete
  106. It's the second lowest rated currently airing and it went below a million Viewrs in episode six, that's bottom of the barell

    ReplyDelete
  107. I think Reign and its 0.3 in the demo is the bottom of the barrel

    ReplyDelete
  108. True.But Reign and Jane are virtually tied for CWs lowest rated show so Jane is at the bottom of the barrel( at least til HoD/BatB return).

    ReplyDelete
  109. CW is a joint effort between C (CBS) and W (Warner Bros) which are part of the same media distributer (along with Showtime and TNT ect)...Warner's will not want there to be a perceived flop, so I think there is a very good chance it will pick up Constantine...think of it this way; CW is a Warner Property, thus they Pedowitz can say all he wants, but his paycheck comes from higher-ups...
