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)
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)

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’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
Wowsers on H50 again :D
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie fell badly. Everything else is at normal levels. H50 is looking better and better though and 20/20 had a nice spike.
ReplyDeleteWinners: Shark Tank, 20/20, Hawaii Five-0
Honorable mention: Last Man Standing, Grimm, World's Funniest Fails, Blue Bloods, Undercover Boss
Meh: Cristela
Losers: Hart of Dixie, Masters of Illusion, Glee
Poor dixie but everything else is very steady
ReplyDeleteThe Vampire Diaries regularly does that actually.
ReplyDeleteHow can it happen, though?
ReplyDeleteIt's possible. The denominators are different:
ReplyDelete18/34: Number of people between age 18-34 watching / Number of people between age 18-34 who own a TV
18/49: Number of people between age 18-49 watching / Number of people between age 18-49 who own a TV
It's just rare because most shows skew old, so it's rare to have such a concentration but mathematically speaking there is nothing preventing it.
Can someone explain to me how Dixie got a 0.4 18-34 and 0.5 25-54 and somehow got a 0.3 18-49? Unless it's significantly more popular with 50-54 year olds (which I highly doubt) I don't understand this.
ReplyDeleteI'm just noticing how Last Man Standing skews. Not like total viewers matter but generally it's a little behind Modern Family and The Middle and in the same range as The Goldbergs.
ReplyDeleteThey always seem to have it out for this show but god forbid anyone insults their precious The 100
ReplyDeleteIf 25-54 was 0.3, but 25-54 was 0.5

I have never seen people attack hart of dixie on TVBTN and i understand why people like the 100 so much
ReplyDeleteHave you looked at the bear's post this year?
ReplyDeleteWell no because all of my CW shows are renewed so i take back what i said
ReplyDeleteActually it's 25-54 so some of it falls outside of 18-49. So I would understand if one is higher than the other. However, I would think that 18-34 is include in 18-49 so if 18-34 has a higher demo than 18-49 it would make no sense to me.
ReplyDeleteI will try to break it down:
ReplyDelete- There are a total of 126.96 million people included in the 18-49. These are the total amount of people from this age who own a TV.
- There are at total of 67.73 million people included in the 18-34. These are the total amount of people from this age who own a TV.
- Imagine there were ~38 K people 18-49 watching Hart of Dixie last night from which ~34 K were 18-34.
- Then 18-49 demo: 38/126,96*100=0,3
- Then 18-34 demo: 34/67,73*100=0,5
- There are a total of 126.96 million people included in the 18-49.
ReplyDeleteThese are the total amount of people from this age who own a TV.

yes, yes. Pablo was already kind enough to tell me that. Thank you very much, nonetheless!
ReplyDeleteIt's not like they have The 100 on a high pedestal, I've seen some horrid comments about it there. Well, horrid comments are bread and butter there
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie higher on 18-34 than 18-49? That's odd
ReplyDeleteCristela! Glad it's holding up decently.
ReplyDeletePoor Dixie
ReplyDeleteYay Hawaii Five-0! And still good for Grimm!
ReplyDeleteSad for my dixies. But as said last week you never know with Fridays. I hope it adjustes up to 0.4 but we'll see
ReplyDeleteExactly my question. I can understand about 25-54.
ReplyDeleteBut if 18-34 is a sub-demo in 18-49, shouldn't that mean that 18-49 needs to be higher?
After this, no chances for HOD
ReplyDeleteHart of Dixie could adjust up! But still, who cares? I love the show, and if it would've hit a few 0.5's, a renewal would be possible, but I think they should come to an end, it's a great season, and the show could end on a high note. Why dragging it down until it hits 0.2/0.1's? And they already have renewed most of their lineup.
ReplyDeleteOh, i see it now. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that happen before. I didn't think it could happen. lol
ReplyDeleteAgain, Cristela only matched the corresponding episode of The Neighbors from last season. But apparently The Neighbors was such an awful performer and I've yet to see the same criticism leveled against Cristela.
ReplyDeleteOh No Dixie!Glees steady as a rock for five or six episodes .
ReplyDeleteBut shouldn't 18-34 be included in 18-49?
ReplyDeleteI feel like there should be a A18-55 and that advertisers should look at that instead of A18-49
ReplyDeleteNo problem :)
ReplyDeleteI hope Dixie will be adjust up, really, I don't get why people left yesterday, the episode was fun
ReplyDeleteI can only hope Dixie adjusts up. This is sad. :( I can only imagine what the bear and other commenters on TVBTN are going say...
ReplyDeleteIn my country, there's a network that looks at the 18-59 range instead of the 18-49. But then again, they only do so because their ratings are terrible in the 18-49 range.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is that, for advertisers, the older you are the more common you are as a viewers, so advertisers will look forward to those shows that can snatch those viewers that are younger and harder to grab
ReplyDeleteDAMNIT CONSTANTINE I NEEDED YOU TO GO UP AND NOT DOWN!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just used that as an example because it has the second best slot and still only gets 0.5 yet there's nowhere near as many negative comments for that than shows such as Dixie and Jane, which have horrible slots but similar ratings
ReplyDeleteand shouldn't 25-49 be included in 18-49? I have no Idea how this works exactly, but to average a .3...did only like .2 viewers 25-49 watch it last night?
ReplyDeleteThe thing is that, as 18-34 is a smaller subset than 18-49 it can be higher with less ratings than 18-49.
ReplyDeleteTo make it simple: For a 1.0 rating on 18-49 you need 1.269 million people, whereas for a 1.0 on 18-34 you need 676K viewers. So, an example.
Your show has 676K viewers, all of them on 18-34, so you get a 1.0 on adults 18-34, while you have something around a 0.53 rating.
Well what I mean is, shouldn't the viewers aged 25-49 in the 25-54 category have some relevance to the 18-49...
ReplyDeleteSo if 18-34 is higher and 25-54(which is still a massive chunk of viewers under 49) is higher unless the number of people watching was skewed so much more towards those who were aged 50 and higher , how does it result in a .3 18-49?
I composed a reply to that question below, in short, as 18-34 is a smaller subset than 18-49 it needs less viewers to make a rating point or tenth, so in essence it should be easier to score those ratings. The thing is, shows usually skew old, so it's not that common for viewers on 18-34 to watch shows live, at least not as much as older viewers
ReplyDelete18-34: 0.4
ReplyDelete25-54: 0.5
So I expected at least a 0.4 in 18-49
Ikr?If abc didn't renew a show in its second season gettings these ratings that they owned,they're not gonna renew Cristela,which they don't own and is only in season one.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I love The 100 (I really do), I have to agree with you on this one. It has a great timeslot, it really could've picked up some viewers during the summer, when the CW showed reruns of the first season twice, and it has one of the best lead-ins. It's sad that not more people watch it.
ReplyDeleteAs for Jane, I think it proved us that it is a solid and decent show, doing well on a bad night, with a not compatible show. It's such a cute show, and I hope it can hold it's 0.6 it hit this Monday.
Reign, my favorite and the weakest one, has a lead-in, that is dying, a really competitive slot, and barely any promotion. Well I know, that doesn't justify that is is doing bad, but it bothers me to see 2-3 sneak peeks for TVD, T100, Arrow or Flash, and not even a single one for Reign.
True. Cristela basically only got picked up because it came in a package to renew LMS and pick up FOTB. Still, it's a decent performer and despite barely any character development it's still hilarious and I'll enjoy it for the rest of the season.
ReplyDeleteI do emphasize though with fans of The Neighbors being one of Trophy Wife. I think both could have been saved with better treatment being in-house produced. I now wish I had tried out The Neighbors after all I've heard of it.
So weird.. Glee once had 26 million viewers (Superbowl) and basically every episode hit above 10 million, and it can;t even get 2 millions? The quality dropped a lot. The first three seasons were awesome. The fourth one: meh. The fifth started really bad, but around the 100th episode it improved. And now the final season is good.
ReplyDeleteYou said it yourself, the massive drop on quality meant losing viewers. The trend started on season 3, which was still a hit, but more down to earth. Then season 4 was solid, and finally, season 5 was a flop. Glee viewers moved on to other things
ReplyDeleteYeah, but I can't think of a show which had ratings that high and drop so low.
ReplyDeleteWFF hits a series high lol.
ReplyDeleteI would argue that the first season was best and the quality drop came in the 2nd season, but it continued to decline over time.
ReplyDeleteI do think Glee was already showing some faults from the second half of season 1 onwards when interest on the show peaked to an all-time high.
ReplyDeleteIkr?The 100 fans tweet on Mon lets get more thanjane and freaked out on twitter for Janes Midseason finale when in prelims it got 0.6.They also,before the renewals,would say" Csncel Reign,Jane ,renew The 100 or "I hoped Jane /Reign drops"
ReplyDeletenot as many as batb,
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't explain the 25-54s... every other show's 18-49 falls somewhere inbetween their 18-34 and 25-54's ratings, it's unusual to see it lower than the both of them
ReplyDeleteSomeone on the Tvbythenumbers board is saying Grimm is moving to 8 on Fridays in March, can anyone confirm this?
ReplyDeleteCome on NBC, say if Constantine is cancelled. You are saying every week "there is still a chance for a renewal". Fuck you and say it already -_-
ReplyDeleteCBS is not giving up on 5-O yet! Hoping that Netflix deal will be successful! For those who don't know yet, Netflix acquired streaming rights for the first 4 seasons of H5O and will start streaming them next month!
ReplyDeleteTHIS! I thought the fall run of season 1 is really the only time the show has all the heart. Once ratings grew, the network and Ryan Murphy overexpose the show, and made it lose all the focus.
ReplyDeleteEven though they are two different shows, I feel that Empire's first few episodes remind me about Glee's first few episodes, both shows very strong and confident on how they want to progress, episode to episode. I hope that FOX doesn't make the same mistake twice. Already Empire has slated to have prominent guest stars in upcoming episodes, and planning a crossover with American Idol and I can see FOX supersizing Empire the way they did with Glee, eventually to the detriment of the show too.
It's likely there will be a S6 it happens all the time numbers aren't good in the first half but gets better in the 2nd half so it'll happen
ReplyDeleteResurrection did, and it dropped even faster than Glee
ReplyDeleteWith World's Funniest Fails doing OK for FOX on a Friday, I don't see what stops them from finding another cheap reality show and turning Friday into reality night. I could easily see World's Funniest Fails/Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader being paired together on the fall schedule.
