Monday 3/02/15

Household
Rating/Share
NBC 7.7/12
CBS 5.0/ 8
ABC 4.9/ 8
Fox 3.7/ 6
CW 0.5/ 1

-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Oscar Evening – Monday 3/03/14
CBS: – 4, Fox: – 5, NBC: – 7, ABC: – 8, CW: -37

———-

Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. The overnights are your first look at what to potentially expect when the other results come in. And we always take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence. Keep in mind, as always, that results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

-Winners:
“The Voice” (NBC)

-Honorable Mention:
“The Bachelor” (ABC), “The Big Bang Theory” R (CBS), “Mike & Molly” (CBS)

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“The Following” (Fox)

———-

Ratings Breakdown:
It was an easy overnight victory for NBC, which featured two more hours of bona fide hit “The Voice” (#1 for the night: 9.5 rating/15 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m.) and week two of the sophomore season of medical drama “The Night Shift” (#1: 4.3/ 8 at 10 p.m.). Although “The Night Shift” did build by an impressive 26 percent week to week, overnight retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (9.6/15) was still only 45 percent.

In season-premiere news, Kevin Bacon drama “The Following” returned on Fox with a fourth-place 3.2/ 5 in the overnights from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, this was down by a hefty 29 percent from the 4.5/ 7 for the second-season opener in the time period (on 1/27/14), which was already down by double-digits from 2013. And the overnight retention for “The Following” out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of lead-in “Gotham” (4.2/ 6) was so-so at 76 percent. One week earlier, “Sleepy Hollow” closed the season (or series) at a 2.8/ 4.

Overall, Fox’s demo friendly “Gotham” scored a 4.2/ 7 from 8-9 p.m., which was on par with typical levels.

Excluding “Mike & Molly,” CBS was in repeats last night. An encore of “The Big Bang Theory” (in place of regularly scheduled “2 Broke Girls”) finished third in the 8 p.m. half-hour with a 5.7/ 9, followed by the “Mike & Molly” original at a second-place 6.0/ 9 at 8:30 p.m. Next on the Eye net was a repeat of hit freshman “Scorpion” at a third-place 4.8/ 8 from 9-10 p.m., which clearly demonstrates the potential value of the drama in off-network. And it led into a repeat of the successfully relocated “NCIS: Los Angeles” at a second-place 4.2/ 8 at 10 p.m.

Over at ABC, relationship/reality mainstay “The Bachelor” was on the map with a 6.0/ 9 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was on par with a 90-minute edition on the year-ago evening. But, airing opposite NBC’s “The Voice,” it trailed by 37 percent.

At 10 p.m. on ABC was a repeat of the debut episode of Sunday drama “Secrets and Lies” at a third-place 2.7/ 5.

The CW capped off this first Monday in March with encore telecasts of dramas sophomore “The Originals” and critically acclaimed “Jane the Virgin,” which each averaged a 0.5/ 1 and both are confirmed to return next season.

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.

  1. Horrible for The Following
    Ok for TNS but it had no competition last night

    ReplyDelete
  2. The Following is getting cancelled 100 percent.It did badly even without Scorpion.

    ReplyDelete
  3. 76% retentation is so-so? Mark, the Following didn't do well, but saying that 76% retention is "so-so" is ridicoulous.


    Surprised by The Night Shift. Who would have thought it would increase on week 2?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Will wait for the demos before judging The Following. But at least Gotham is super steady! Lets see if the month long break will hurt it.

    ReplyDelete
  5. OMG, that's S&L repeat was strong

    ReplyDelete
  6. No NCIS LA and Castle originals helped it.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Its retentation out of Gotham looks better than Sleepy Hollow's retentation was.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Zero competition helped ;)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Sure, but I've seen shows facing no competition and decreasing either way on week 2. And a 26% margin is still impressive

    ReplyDelete
  10. If it gets between 1.5-1.8 demo wise for the season it'll be renewed, FOX have much bigger issues not named Empire and Gotham. There only hits this season.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Likely no competition helped The Night Shift than it actually finding a real audience. However, under 50% retention is still really bad for any post The Voice show.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Its getting about 1.4-1.6 at max for premiere.And it will go down when Scorpion returns.

    ReplyDelete
  13. ABC wants for Secrets and Lies to succeed.They gave it a good lead-in and it didnt do bad for repeat.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Depends on whether NBC is willing to be patient. If it demonstrates growth as the season goes on, I can see it being renewed, especially given its other midseason shows are flops.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Nice increase for the Night Shift. Very encouraging news for NBC which will certainly stick with it now to see if the growth is a trend.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I thought The Following would do bad.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I will never understand why some people care about retention so much but 76% retention should be good. I think Sleepy Hollow was getting 60% retention out of Gotham.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Victor Hugo G. Soares3 March 2015 at 14:49

    Mike And Molly was good last night and will be renewed

    ReplyDelete
  19. While I agree that some shows are doing a lot worse I think The Following's fate will depend on how it performs without Gotham.

    ReplyDelete
  20. If NCIS: LA or Castle are off, then I think that they will be patient. However, I'd be surprised if the ratings hold with increased competition. Unfortunately, NBC ha experienced numerous bumps where ratings increase only due to having no competing competition.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes, I think it's certain to be renewed :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. The concept of the show had so much potential, but it got bogged down with awful writing and ridiculous villains.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The thing with Mark is that he is very selective as to which retention is good: Mom at 68% he called solid. The Following at 76% is so-so. I have no doubt that The Following will have an underwhelming premiere rating-wise, but its retention is not so-so

    ReplyDelete
  24. Gotham is in hiatus for five weeks. Not good for The Following.

    ReplyDelete
  25. NBC has so many problem spots now, they will have no choice but to stick with it. Though the trade-off of TBL to Thursday is resulting in a net negative. Always a risk - especially with its biggest scripted fare. CBS hurt two slots this season by swapping TAR/CSI for MS/Stalker. Sometimes it works.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Maria Ferreira3 March 2015 at 15:03

    I agree, I was hooked in the beginning, but then just lost interest:(

    ReplyDelete
  27. Farewell Parks and Rec3 March 2015 at 15:18

    Well, The Following faded fast over the years

    ReplyDelete
  28. Awful retention TNS. I bet the people involved with this show now are wishing NBC let it stay in the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  29. so CW having crap ratings all the time & their shows don't get cancelled, give me a break, CW is Not new, it is CBS & Warner , they should demand better ratings

    ReplyDelete
  30. growth Its Retention out of the Voice is 45%

    ReplyDelete
  31. I agree. Marc's double standard with a lot of tv shows is just becoming laughable instead of annoying.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Matthew Zamora3 March 2015 at 15:55

    Why is it that every time I feel Gotham gets great they take a break? And you'd think they'd want the lead in for the following

    ReplyDelete
  33. Per Marc Berman "“The Night Shift” did build by an impressive 26 percent week to week." Yes, growth. Retention is irrelevant, dramas are renewed based on their performance against each other. NBC's scripted average is around a 1.1.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 1.6 for the following

    ReplyDelete
  35. 1.4 for the night shift

    ReplyDelete
  36. The voice 3.6/4.0

    ReplyDelete
  37. The bachelor 2.4

    ReplyDelete
  38. Wow, that's terrible. NBC really needs to consider pulling it away form Mondays.

    ReplyDelete
  39. A repeat of S&L did a 1.0 with 4 million

    ReplyDelete
  40. There's massive rejection from TNS: 1.7/1.1 In the half hours

    ReplyDelete
  41. The Night Shift half hours are pretty scary
    1.7/1.1

    ReplyDelete
  42. So The Night Shift didn't rise at all, HH deceived me again.


    OK start for The Following. Predicted the 1.6

    ReplyDelete
  43. I thoroughly enjoyed The Bachelor.... :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Victor Hugo G. Soares3 March 2015 at 16:06

    OMG!!!! :(

    ReplyDelete
  45. FOX has only 4 episodes of Gotham left for 11 weeks of the remaining TV season.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't if this is scary or just funny lol

    ReplyDelete
  47. Secrets and Lies repeated ok. But repeats don't usually mean increase for next airings, but at lest it got a bit more eyeballs

    ReplyDelete
  48. People are not liking what they see. That's a frightful drop.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Funny for us... Scary for NBC

    ReplyDelete
  50. Yup ( the show is not that great )

    ReplyDelete
  51. aren't there 6? I think they are at episode 18 and the season is 22 episodes

    ReplyDelete
  52. Seriously NBC, pull this. It's horrible.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wait till you see the half hours
    1.7/1.1

    ReplyDelete
  54. It does seem to have some really passionate fans, a few whom I have seen on this site.

    ReplyDelete
  55. They have nothing to put there.

    ReplyDelete
  56. The sad thing is I think you may be right. But a 1.1 is lower than Ready For Love or any show after The Voice. It's really embarrassing for NBC.

    ReplyDelete
  57. NBC needs to send The Night Shift to Fridays, Grimm to Thursdays after The Blacklist, pull Allegiance and premiere something out of The Voice, either AD, Odyssey or whatever, but they can't keep up with this

    ReplyDelete
  58. The voice already in the 3s

    ReplyDelete
  59. There's massive rejection from TNS: 1.7/1.1 In the half hours

    ReplyDelete
  60. They can always premiere Aquarius earlier. They have AD and Odyssey waiting in the wings too. All of them can be rushed to beneffit from The Voice

    ReplyDelete
  61. What horrible numebrs for TNS, NBC shouldnt have move The Blacklist.

    ReplyDelete
  62. At this point I would consider Dick Wolf reading the phone book. Anything to get a 1.1 off The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yeah, but that's ok, it's still pretty highly rated and it is holding a bit better than during the fall

    ReplyDelete
  64. Matthew Zamora3 March 2015 at 16:12

    I know but it's way too long of a break right when they need it ... Bad scheduling

    ReplyDelete
  65. Unless they move Aquarius from the summer or premiere Odyssey after the Voice and put a Talking Bible after A.D, they have nothing to put there.

    ReplyDelete
  66. True but it's less competiton from the fall

    ReplyDelete
  67. Mike & Molly delivered the same rating it did a year ago, and with a weaker lead in. This show is a real staple for CBS!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Good ratings for Mike and Molly, and decent for Scorpion repeat too, up against a big The Voice. The 2 shows seem pretty compatible. I hope CBS realises this and keeps M&M there rather than use it to plug a gap when another show fails

    ReplyDelete
  69. Well they always have Dateline. So if Aquarius isn't ready, there's that.


    The Night Shift though has to move to Fridays. I agree with those that are suggesting that.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Farewell Parks and Rec3 March 2015 at 16:14

    Lol.

    Quitting has just reached another level.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Year to year comparisons:
    The Voice: 4.5 vs 3.8 (-15%)
    Mike&Moly: 2.2 vs 2.2 (no change)
    The Following: 1.6 (not premiere, March airing) vs 1.6 (no change)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I commented about that above. It's a disaster for NBC. There's really no way to spin it but terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Not a great start for The Following considering next week it won't have a new Gotham lead in and will be up against an original Scorpion, altho I doubt Scorpion and TF share the same audience

    ReplyDelete
  74. Aquarius without any promotion? Nah. And A.D. is supposed to be a miniseries, so why waste The Voice lead-in when they can't get any long-term benefit.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Farewell Parks and Rec3 March 2015 at 16:16

    Between Bones, Sleepy Hollow and The Following, how many bubble dramas will Fox carry?

    ReplyDelete
  76. I think Odyssey looks good, but I would not expect the NBC audience that did not watch State of Affairs or Allegiance to watch Odyssey either.

  78. I don't buy the premise of a miniseries; the Bible was supposed to be a miniseries and NBC found a way to capitalize on it.
    Miniseries are only miniseries when they rate badly

    ReplyDelete
  79. Winners: The Voice, The Bachelor, Mike and Molly

    Honorable Mention: Gotham

    Losers: The Night Shift

    I think The Following did okay. It grew from the final after almost 10 months of hiatus. It could have been way worse. I think it will settle at around the same level SH would have done of 1.3

    ReplyDelete
  80. Episode 18 aired yesterday, so they have only 4 left.

    ReplyDelete
  81. They wouldn't premiere A.D early. It's purposely premiering on Easter Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Ouch at that 1.7/1.1 for Night Shift, wonder if Odyssey will get early premiere or they move PD. That should be unacceptable.

    ReplyDelete
  83. 1.6 for The Following, while pretty poor is still well within FOX's renewal territory.

    ReplyDelete
  84. It would be a risk, but it would be better to try out rather than doing nothing

    ReplyDelete
  85. Yep, that's a massive drop between 1/2 hrs.

    ReplyDelete
  86. There was a one minute The Voice overrun. The half rating is closer to The Night Shift's true rating.

    ReplyDelete
  87. NBC prides itself on The Voice as a lead in, more than even Thursdays. I'm not sure what the best option is, but Greenblatt will do something. Even patient NBC can't be patient with a 1.1.

    ReplyDelete
  88. That is a horrible horrible half hours drop

    ReplyDelete
  89. Why I would hardly call AD a continuation of The Bible since it has a all new cast. And NBC is the one to take the term more seriously. The Slap is a miniseries and they said that at the winter TCA's 2014.

    ReplyDelete
  90. So they have left 19, 20, 21 and 22. Got it ;)

    ReplyDelete
  91. They may just wait for their vest new show to put on Mondays, but I think moving PD shouldn't be overlooked.

    And yeah, they need to move Grimm ASAP. No veteran should be on Friday at this point, and its not like its helping anchor a new show or anything.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I'm pretty sure that if The Slap was a big hit, NBC would have renewed it and worked it out as an anthology series. AD acts as an anthology series of The Bible.


    UTD was called a miniseries on its first season and then it got renewed for season 2.


    Until I see a miniseries rating high and not scoring a renewal, I won't believe there is such a thing as miniseries, unless they rate bad or air on the UK

    ReplyDelete
  93. Matthew Zamora3 March 2015 at 16:23

    Blacklist needs to move back to Mondays and regain it's crown... They are killing it with this move

    ReplyDelete
  94. NBC mocked CBS at the same TCA for renewing UTD and said that the same won't be the case for The Slap.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Victor Hugo G. Soares3 March 2015 at 16:24

    Now i`m worried about Undateable and One Big Happy

    ReplyDelete
  96. PD after The Voice sounds like a good idea. CF has done quite well after The Voice, so it could work out great.


    And yeah, Grimm needs to help on the weekday; it won't do 2s, but it will surely do mid to high 1s, something more than acceptable. It can really support Thursdays or even Wednesdays at 10 if PD moves to a post Voice slot

    ReplyDelete
  97. We can't know with The Slap because it was a total flop, but I'm sure that if it was a hit they would just say "sorry, our bad, this is an anthology series, actually."


    No network gets rid of high rated show, regardless of how they are labeled

    ReplyDelete
  98. And what would they put on Thursdays? Blacklist may not be ratings as high as it was following The Voice, but it's the only thing holding up the night

    ReplyDelete
  99. Brandy Danforth3 March 2015 at 16:29

    CW shows do too get cancelled with bad ratings,but like evey network ,they can't cancel everything so they keep Acouple low rated bubble dramas around.Why do you care so much if CW has bad ratings or not anyway?Youre not in charge of it.Last night were reapets of serialzed shows so if course they weren't gonba get good ratings.CW may not be new but they're only 8-9 years old,new/young compared to the Big Four.Mr P Edowitz said ratings only make up 20% of his cancel /renew decisions.CBS dosent wantCW to becompetive with the Big 4 according to speculation and CBS has been critized for treating Czw like a side business(which ii is).CbS has said CW is profitable due to DVD,streaming ,syndication so even with low ratings,they're making money.The ratings landscape has changed a lot in the last few years with ratings getting & lower with few expections(like Empire),.At least Arrow,Flash and sometimes SPN can or have tied or beaten completion on the Big 4.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Think of it being a temporary nursing home for PD just for the rest of the year. They need to support a new show next year as well, and a moce for PD should be planned out to make it a new staple in the schedule. I think it can grow and bring its newfound audience with it, not sure where though. Any suggestions?

    ReplyDelete
  101. What would be the point in renewing it? How many times can Joe Carroll escape getting killed?

    ReplyDelete
  102. I think that if the Chicago Med pilot works out, NBC has to nurture all Dick Wolf's shows. I would actually give it the post Voice slot next season. Otherwise they would be risking yet another failure post Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  103. As many as the viewers keep it at renewable levels

    I don't consider The Following a loser. Up from 10 months ago, and above all Sleepy Hollow this season.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Matthew Zamora3 March 2015 at 16:34

    They could put anything else on Thursdays ... lord knows it's not salvage able at this point anyways

    ReplyDelete
  106. The Blacklis at a 1.9 on Thursday begs to differ.
    I actually have been convinced that Chicago PD after The Voice may be the best move. There you have a saving grace on Thursdays (Blacklist) and a show that could actually score 2s after The Voice (Chicago PD)

    A 1.9 is pitiful for a show that would get high 2s-low 3s post the voice, it is scheduled against monster Scandal and between 2 losers... At least give the show something to work with if you are going to throw it to the dogs like that... It should've stayed behind the voice and keep Mondays strong... Figure out something else for the rest of your days and if all else fails air repeats of the voice

  108. The Blacklist was getting 2.4s following The Voice during the last straing of episodes during the fall. That's not high 2s-low3s.
    It is actually giving the NBC something to stand on Thursdays, which is why I don't expect it to move

    Yeah in the last few eps but on average throughout its run it is what I said.... It could have easily rebounded especially given the Super Bowl airing... I think it was a stupid move and NBC is paying for it... Mondays were perfect but now they need to hope for a new hit post voice which is unlikely as evident by State of Affairs and now TNS

  110. I keep seeing "The Following did badly" or along them lines everywhere in the comments. I don't think it did that badly, it improved a tiny bit from the finale. What does think it should have gotten?

  112. why all this jabber about Lead ins. a show should stand on its own, I NEVER watch a show, because it comes on after what I just watched...

  113. I don't get why FOX is scheduling it this way. I think Sleepy Hollow should have gotten a two hour finale and The Following a two hour premiere. Those would be 2 additional solid hours of Gotham to air later on. They probably should have also aired one extra Sleepy Hollow in January to force it to end two weeks earlier.

    The way they've scheduled they have too many originals to air in the 9pm hour without time to air them all (the following will end up airing the summer) and not enough originals to air in the 8pm hour until the end of the season, which is pretty poor scheduling.

  114. Agreed, I don't know why it gets a lot of hate.


    I think it will settle at around 1.3-1.4 after a few episodes. I'm hoping though for it to settle at a 1.4 as most of the season 2 got a 1.4.

  115. I don't think it did badly. People are extremely hateful of the show and love to find any excuse to hate on it. I think it did okay. It didn't exactly set itself up very well to withstand the drops that are surely coming but it did okay given where it ended.

    What? It's finally found it's feet. A 1.9 is the best NBC has had for a long while on Thursday. Expect season 3 to be there next year, hopefully not surrounded by giant bombs either side of it.

    Neither do I, up from ten months ago (if only slightly) and bettering Sleepy's recent efforts. The real test will be no Gotham.

  118. It should have a stable audience, it will probably settle at a 1.3-1.4. I can't remember, but do you know what it's lead in was last year?

    ReplyDelete
  119. If it settles at 1.4 it would actually be an improvement over last year considering the usual y2y depreciation that broadcasters go through and I think that stability after 10 months of hiatus could be worthy of bringing back. But I don't want to get my hopes up just yet since the show has a big history of falling so I am doubting it can do that well. It also won't help that Scorpion will be back and that Gotham will be on repeats pretty much the entire time until the end of the season.

  121. Thanks! I forgot about Almost Human, even though I watched it.

    Hahaha. Don't worry, so did Fox.

  123. Although the show should be able to stand on it's own, as the show does tend to drop a lot (like you said) a good lead in would've helped a bit.


    Pretty poor scheduling from FOX if you ask me. I don't know why they changed The Following's 2hr premiere to a single episode. They could've also had SH as a 2hr finale.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Yes! I just commented on the exact same thing elsewhere! It makes no sense since they have too many originals to air in the 9pm hour without time to do so and not enough for the 8pm hour. Horrible scheduling.

  125. Bad for The Following, guess waiting that long didn't help. Castle doesn't have to worry about Secrets and Lies. Night Shift did better because their was no NCIS LA and Castle. Good for Mike and Molly. The Voice and Bachelor keep on going

    ReplyDelete
  126. Yep, totally agree.

  127. FOX will probably still carry Bones no matter how bad their ratings are when they come back because FOX makes money from it in syndication. As for between Sleepy and Following it probably depends if Following drops too much. Without new Gotham leading into The Following and going up against Voice and Scorpion, it will be hard for them to retain good demo numbers
