  • Last Week's Final Adjusted Ratings


  • Early Ratings Analysis by Marc Berman (TVMediaInsights)
    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 Rating
    CBS Wins; Midweek Edition of “The Voice” Lifts NBC

    Wednesday 4/08/15

    Household
    Rating/Share
    CBS 5.7/ 9
    NBC 5.4/ 9
    Fox 5.1/ 8
    ABC 4.0/ 7
    CW 0.7/ 1

    -Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Wednesday 4/09/14:
    ABC: +60, NBC: +25, CBS: -10, Fox: -16, CW: -42

    ———-

    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:
    “The Voice” (NBC)

    -Honorable Mention:
    “Survivor” (CBS)

    -Losers (excluding repeats):
    “Nashville” (ABC)

    ———-

    Ratings Breakdown:
    CBS topped this second Wednesday in April, but its metered market advantage over second-place NBC was only three-tenths of a rating point (or six percent). And NBC got a boost from an 8-9 p.m. edition of “The Voice,” which led the time period with a 6.6 rating/11 share in households. Comparably, that bested competing “Survivor” on CBS (#2: 5.5/ 9) by 20 percent, which was on par from one week earlier (despite facing “The Voice”). While not the best season, any edition of “Survivor” is still worthy of tune-in (even one including the truly obnoxious Dan Foley).

    Ignited by “The Voice,” veteran lead-in “Law & Order: SVU” (#2: 5.0/ 8 at 9 p.m.) delivered its highest overnight rating since Feb. 25 (5.4/ 8). And that led into a second-place 4.6/ 8 for sophomore “Chicago PD” at 10 p.m.

    Airing out of “Survivor” was CBS’ regularly scheduled combination of dramas “Criminal Minds” (#1: 6.4/10) and recently introduced “CSI: Cyber” (#1: 5.1/ 9) from 9-11 p.m. While “Criminal Minds” is a shoo-in to return (and a new spin-off series is a possibility), modest “CSI” Cyber” is on the fence, so to speak for a second season because of its older skew. A better option would be to bring back parent “CSI” for one final season.

    On ABC, original episodes of 8-9 p.m. sitcoms “The Middle” (#4: 4.9/ 8) and “The Goldbergs” (#4: 4.3/ 7) were on par with typical overnight levels, which should translate into a two-tenths of a rating point adult 18-49 advantage for “The Goldbergs” over “The Middle.” Next was an encore telecast of “Modern Family” (#4: 4.1/ 6 at 9 p.m.) into sure-to-be renewed “black-ish” (#4: 4.1/ 7 at 9:30 p.m.), which had full household overnight retention. And last at 10 p.m., as always, was three-year-old drama “Nashville” (3.5/ 6), which could be poised for a fourth season to accumulate more episodes for off-network.

    Elsewhere, two-hours of aging “American Idol” on Fox slipped to a 5.1/ 8 from 8-10 p.m., which was down from one week earlier (6.0/10 on April 1) and the year-ago evening (6.1/10 on 4/09/14) by 15 percent and 16 percent, respectively. And The CW populated the night with repeats of “Arrow” (#5: 0.8/ 1) and “Supernatural” (#5: 0.6/ 1).

  • 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. Can I have context for Blackish, like what that might translate into?

    What's happening to The Middle??? Sick of these 1.7-1.8s.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Well, Black-ish's HH only dropped three-tenths from last week

    ReplyDelete
  3. DST. It happens every year. It'll go back up in the 2s in the fall.

    ReplyDelete
  4. DST is happening. Nothing unusual.

    ReplyDelete
  5. It is a good sign for Black-ish that it didn't collapse despite following a repeat of Modern Family

    ReplyDelete
  6. I cannot even concentrate on ratings news right now :(

    ReplyDelete
  7. Why? Is something going on?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Think REVENGEaddict just can't concentrate until ABC renewals/cancellations in regards to Revenge?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Well we just found out the title of the revenge season finale. The title tells us that it is the series finale ;(

    ReplyDelete
  10. Go to Revenge post about episode title of the season finale.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Top 25 Numbers are being entered

    ReplyDelete
  12. By the way, new contracts have been signed for the entire cast of the middle. Thought you would be pleased to know!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Not that. Did you See the post?

    ReplyDelete
  14. ABC probably cancelled Revenge, sadly :/

    ReplyDelete
  15. You would have to knoe the show. The finale is titled "Two graves". The first scene of the entire series was a Black screen with the sentence: Before you embark on a journey of Revenge, dig two graves. Therefore this is likely the end

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow so early! Nice!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Ah, it's fun to be observing the ratings without having a show to worry about. Though I am interested to see what Criminal Minds' ratings were for the spin-off intro.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I see the post now. Sorry to hear that!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I agree, this is the first time in a long time it happens to me. Though I am sort of rooting for all the Wednesday comedies, even if I don't watch them.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yeah, I don't watch them either (though I have seen the first season or so of The Middle) but I like seeing them do well.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Or the writers were smart enough to know they would be canceled and wrote a series finale. ABC really should have announced it as a series finale. Imagine the season 4 finale being the ending the writers envisioned and then ABC orders a fifth and final season. Would be a major screwover to everyone involved.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Guesses based exclusively on TOP25 numbers:
    - The Middle: 1.8
    - The Goldbergs: 2.0-2.1
    - Modern Family (R): 1.6
    - Black-ish: 1.9-2.0
    - Nashville: 1.1-1.2

    - Survivor: 2.3
    - Criminal Minds: 2.1-2.2
    - CSI Cyber: 1.40

    - The Voice: 2.2
    - Law and Order SVU: 1.6-1.7
    - Chicago PD: 1.6

    - American Idol: 1.6

    ReplyDelete
  23. I only watch Modern Family. But I will binge Blackish this summer and possibly one of the other two.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yeah I know. This is really sad though.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow you guys are so friendly here :) thx :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Would The Voice really be that low? It's a Wednesday edition, sure, but I would still expect higher in the 2s.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I may dislike black-ish, but I have to say that those numbers look impressive.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Nice result for Black-ish, all things considering.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Pretty damn nice if they hold, I agree! The show will do fine leading Tuesdays next year.

    ReplyDelete
  30. What do you guys think Chicago PD would get, if it aired out of The Voice? Do you think it could get higher numbers than Fire? Like 2.2-2.3, or would it do the same as Fire?

    ReplyDelete
  31. ABC finally found a show that does well after MF? Do you really think they'll move it?

    ReplyDelete
  32. They have to use Modern Family's lead-in to find as many comedies as they can, especially considering that it is losing steam.


    As long as those comedies are family-themed, since those seem to be the only ones that will work for ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Is a shame, though, that Nashville can't take advantage of Black-ish's improved lead-in.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I do because I think they will renew 5 single cams and they have 6 slots available. Which means one new single cam will be launched and assuming it is a good one, they will want a good slot for it. The options are:
    - Wednesdays at 8h30: it is possible, but it would be up against Empire and that is not a situation any new show should be thrown at. It would also be asking the goldbergs to move at the same time which, again, wouldn't be too big of an ask, but it is one in light of Empire moving to the hour. I am of the opinion that the Wednesday 8-9pm hour should remain the same due to the empire that is coming, pun intended
    - Tuesdays 8h: I don't think it is impossible that they ask the new comedy to self start but it would have to be something that tests through the roof for that (like Modern Family or something). This is launching a comedy against the voice blind auditions without lead-in support, which is pretty damn hard to even gather sampling.
    - Wednesdays 9h30: this is still the best slot they have to launch a new comedy, with no massive competition and the best lead-in they can offer. I think most of the stuff they've had here failed because they weren't family comedies. The only one that was, How to Live with Your Parents, was a spring afterthought thrown with little promotion mostly after repeats. A new family comedy should work here again if it is good.

    It would be one thing if Blackish couldn't hold its own, but if it can, the third option is simply the most compelling to me. A diversity block of Black-ish | Fresh Off the Boat on Tuesdays, Wednesdays at 8 staying put to withstand Empire and Modern Family being used for the new comedy.

    ReplyDelete
  35. According to Deadline,in the same article when The Middle contracts was mentioned, they say ABC is interested in picking up Galavant season 2 as it has internal support from ABC,attracts big name guest stars and is expected to get awards recignition for original songs.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I agree with the idea, but Modern Family is actually on track to end the season up in PLUS so I wouldn't say it is loosing steam.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I am 100 percent sure that slot will be used for new drama.

    ReplyDelete
  38. That article has a lot of wrong things, in my opinion

    ReplyDelete
  39. It's not as highly-rated as in years past, and that's what I meant.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Agreed, they still say HOD has a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Yes, I think it will. 'Mix' - a family-themed drama, I believe - could fit nicely there given the night's natural family theme.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Can you copy the synopsis? I am on a mobile.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Depends on your definition. Since it is up in PLUS, it means it is even higher rated in relative terms than it was last year, so it has even more lead-in potential than before (is more valuable than before, in other words).

    ReplyDelete
  44. No, I don't know where it is. But that's what I've heard, anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I was speaking on raw numbers mostly. Raw numbers are always more impressive in the eye.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Explores the realities of modern-day families — multi-cultural,
    multi-generational, built through divorces, affairs and adoptions — set
    against the backdrop of a revered family restaurant at a crossroads.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sounds like a Modern Family-turned-drama.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh that is true yes. But comparing raw numbers from one season to the other is as much of a flawed exercise as comparing prices from one year to the other.

    ReplyDelete
  49. This looks very low for The Voice, it will fall in next few seasons to the point NBC wont have anything new that is ratings worth.

    ReplyDelete
  50. And the cast is quite diverse. Joaquim de Almeida is a main, have you seen?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Thanks, it looks as a great drama to match with the comedies.

    ReplyDelete
  52. No, I didn't. Yay for Portuguese blood invading the network television.


    Too bad Diogo Morgado's The Messengers won't have a very long life. (perhaps his role as Jesus in the Bible will put God's will in his favors and make the Messengers even higher rated than Empire?)

    ReplyDelete
  53. Yeah. I think deadline is very reliable with factual information and such, but when they start speculating they don't tend to do well. Last year they published an article saying that Mixology was heating up for a renewal when the show was entirely DOA.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Ahah I wish. The Messengers looks so good. Urgh CW!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I would love to have seen how Blackish would have done after Modern Family's third season.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Galavant getting picked up wouldn't surprise me and it doesn't have anything to do with ratings. This has always been a passion project for Paul Lee and he's talked it up every chance he can get. Since it's a limited number of episodes per season, it's easy for Paul Lee to get another round as a bridge series. I fully expect him to do that with Galavant.

    ReplyDelete
  57. LOL what? Really? I am laughing right now.

    ReplyDelete
  58. It does look good. I was looking forward to it.


    (Oddly, the CW is the 2nd channel with the highest number of shows I watch).

    ReplyDelete
  59. http://deadline.com/2014/04/mixology-renewal-near-abc-comedies-trophy-wife-neighbors-716838/

    Take a look, it is quite ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Deadline posts a lot of nonsense.

    ReplyDelete
  61. NBC kinda wasted the voice lead in with svu

    ReplyDelete
  62. The sad thing is Deadline actually was right about Mixology. They met with Ryan Seacrest and had it mapped out to pitch a second season. It died somewhere in the pitch room, which is a good thing because if it's anything like season one, season two would have been horrific in the ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Agree. They should have put TMOL or even rerun of American Oddysey.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Pulling a 1.3 after a Modern Family in the 3's is just ridiculous anyway you paint it.


    Is basically the same as TNS pulling low/mid 1's after The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I think I watch more CBS due to volume (they have so many more shows that it is easier to watch more of theirs). But in terms of % of shows the cw is probably #2 for me as well. I barely watch NBC anymore these days though!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Meetings don't mean things will move forward. Meetings are standard procedure. Even the Constantine producers are meeting with NBC one of these days and the show is dead.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It's worse. The Night Shift has a full hour to bleed the audience, Mixology only had half hour.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Last year Nellie Andreeva was right about almost each show, including Beauty & The Beast third season's renewal :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. American Odyssey is DOA and I think Laura died too.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I actually think,considering the horrible state of their new dramas,they might renew it,but that would be crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  71. True. But when Deadline said "heating up" I think she took the pitch meeting for a second season and their internal notes before the pitch and went with an optimistic take. So technically, she wasn't wrong, she just didn't know the outcome of the pitch meeting.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I have no show from NBC at the current time (they have nothing that interests me).


    From ABC, I watch: SHIELD, OUAT, Scandal, FOTB, MF, Castle, HTGAWM.
    From CW, i watch: Reign, Arrow and The Flash.
    From CBS: The Good Wife and Person of Interest.
    From FOX: Empire.


    NBC is the one out.

    ReplyDelete
  73. ratings overall for the Voice are so much lower than in the past 5 seasons. It's hilarious how Marc never brings this but is quick to point out how Idol is fading or Suvivor is steady but not the monster it once was. well, neither is the zVoice and it took only 2.5 years for their ratings to plummet

    ReplyDelete
  74. I should have never read it. "Revenge may have a shot at a final season" i actually was happy when i read it and now today happened

    ReplyDelete
  75. Almost every show is DOA on Sundays 10pm, and it had very uncompatible leadin. Its theirs production why not try to save it?

    ReplyDelete
  76. I would have flipped Chicago PD and Law and Order: SVU for one night. That way, Chicago PD could have received the additional sampling. Law and Order: SVU is nearing the end of its life cycle, so there's no need to boost it.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Well Idol use to be an absolute monster. The Voice never achieved anywhere close to those ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  78. It was ratings poison.


    "YOU'RE POISON. YOU'RE POISON RUNNING THROUGH NIELSEN. I WANNA BREAK FROM THESE CHAINS"

    ReplyDelete
  79. Yup and it's not gonna help in then long run

    ReplyDelete
  80. I was reading her last year's bubble watch and she is actually right about more things than I remember. She correctly called Suburgatory for instance and she gave more credit to Beauty and the Beast and The Mentalist than most. But she was way too optimistic about duds like Mixology, Trophy Wife, Surviving Jack, Almost Human, Friends with Better Lives and Community. Still, it is indeed much better than I remembered.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I'd tend to think that Chicago PD would do slightly better after The Voice than Chicago Fire due to the procedural nature of the show. It's easier to get people into a cop show after a larger lead in than a firefighter show. I also think that it would do better than Law and Order: SVU as the subject matter for Law and Order: SVU limits some casual sampling. There wouldn't be that limitation on Chicago PD.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I am not able to let you know what I watch lol, it is way too much. By the way, you need to tarting watching the 100!

    ReplyDelete
  83. And since when have you started watching Empire?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Tried. Couldn't go past 15 minutes from the pilot.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I don't know? A couple of weeks? But I'm only on episode 4.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Because it is past saving. They are better off boosting SVU and PD than AO which will be gone at season's end, with 99.9999% of probability.

    ReplyDelete
  87. It may have been a good idea to air like a special 2 hour episode of CPD after The Voice.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Yay!

    What about Charlie/Axl?

    ReplyDelete
  89. I think she misuses words, yeah. I was re-reading her bubble watch from last season, whose outcome we obviously know now and when she says "it is firmly on the bubble" I think she means it is facing a very hard time to come back, whereas when I (and most people I believe) say it is firmly on the bubble they mean it is very much 50-50

    ReplyDelete
  90. Per deadline:

    The Middle also is looking good, with the cast led by Patricia Heaton
    locked in with new deals (co-star Charlie McDermott is in first position
    on CBS pilot Super Clyde but is expected to be part of The Middle in
    some way),

    ReplyDelete
  91. Yeah they also said Mixology was getting renewed.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Nashville needs to go to Sunday but I think it will do worse than revenge in that slot

    ReplyDelete
  93. Moving it to Sunday 10pm is the best choice,it will get bad ratings,but in the other side,they wont premiere a new drama and make them DOA or destroy veterans.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Brandy Danforth9 April 2015 at 15:35

    Can you tell me what they said about HoD?

    ReplyDelete
  95. She was too optimistic about Growing Up Fisher too, but we have to consider that it's quite impossibile predict the right fate for every show. And we have to consider that many shows fell by the end of april and the begin of may.

    ReplyDelete
  96. The odds are that we have seen the last of the small town medical drama though the network brass are keeping its options open in case a need arises during the scheduling meetings for next season.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I agree with that and I myself had 4 misses last year, with two big small ones (Community and Beauty and the Beast, to which I gave fair odds of going one way or the other, even if in the end I picked the wrong one) and two big ones (Suburgatory and The Mentalist, which I was relatively confident about and was burned). My comment is more related with the fact that while in some shows being wrong is fairly reasonable (essentially all bubble shows like Almost Human, Community, Growing Up Fisher), some shows are obviously deader than dead and to claim those are still alive is egregious (Trophy Wife, Surviving Jack, Mixology).

    ReplyDelete
  98. It seems abc has given up on nashville since I like none promos for it during the week

    ReplyDelete
  99. Plus they dont mention twitter confimations at all.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Doesn't really change the fact that season to season, it's dropping at an alarming rate. Just pointing out the fact that Marc doesn't really do the year to year (or even season to season) comparisons for the Voice like he does with DWTS, Survivor and especially Idol, which I find strange

    ReplyDelete
  101. They dont care,they ll push it to death slot next season,get to 88 episode end the series and be done with it.

    ReplyDelete
  102. They has better pilots that unoriginal Mix.

    ReplyDelete
  103. The Voice is not dropping at an alarming rate. No facts substantiate that claim. Comparing fall seasons with fall seasons and using Monday editions only to make it easier:
    - Fall 2012: 4.38
    - Fall 2013: 3.97 (-9%, compared with overall decline for broadcast of -11%)
    - Fall 2014: 3.35 (-16%, compared with overall decline of broadcast of -11%)

    For Spring Seasons:
    - Spring 2012: 4.82
    - Spring 2013: 4.14 (-14%, compared with overall decline for broadcast of -11%)
    - Spring 2014: 3.55 (-14%, compared with overall decline for broadcast of -11%)

    Its declines have barely been exceeding those of general broadcast, which means its relative value remains roughly the same.

    ReplyDelete
  104. FOX started to promote Wayward Pines as hell on FOX Adria channel,hope it succeeds, it looks interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Devon Maxwell-Pierce9 April 2015 at 15:50

    I honestly wonder if people watch Cyber because it's so terrible. A good friend and I watch every week and message back and forth to each other to comment on how ludicrous it is, and Patricia Arquette is miscast. The dialogue is uber cheesy and the technology is too old/far-fetched for a modern show. It feels like it's written by 50 year-olds for 60 year-olds. The monologue is also the worst thing I've ever seen on tv, lol. It makes Miami look like Emmy television.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I actually gave it a try since I was curious and because I like James Van Der Beek but I fell asleep (literally lol, not as a figure of speech) halfway through the pilot and never bothered to try again.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Looks like CBS drama midseason curse strikes again, CBS is better off to renew CSI at least for the final season.

    ReplyDelete
  108. CSI Cyber is the best comedy CBS has.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Up until last week, the Monday editions were down 10% and the Tuesday editions were actually up 1%, so no, they haven't been dropping more than 14%.

    As for Survivor, it is an exceptionally resilient show, so it is the exception, not the rue. This being said, even the how had seasons of -30% and -20% declines.

    ReplyDelete
  111. The Tuesday shows have NOT been up from past winter cycles. not sure about last fall cycle but definitely not the winter cycle. Your wrong on that

    ReplyDelete
  112. The Voice doesn't air in the winter and yes, I am sure this cycle is up from the last Spring cycle (even if most of that is only due to a higher number of 2 hour episodes on Tuesday, which always increase the average since the show gross across the 2 hours telecast in a higher viewed hour)

    ReplyDelete
  113. Criminal Minds at 2.0. Wonder if that'll be enough for CBS to order the spin-off.

    ReplyDelete
  114. American idol 1.4

    ReplyDelete
  115. The middle 1.8
    The Goldbergs 1.9
    Blscklist 1.9 growing form MF 1.7

    ReplyDelete
  116. Ouch. The Voice derailed it.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Survivor 2.3
    Cm 2.0

    ReplyDelete
  118. Jeez what a mostly lousy night. Survivor is the big winner.

    Winners: Survivor

    Honorable Mention: Blackish, Law an Order SVU, The Middle, The Goldbergs

    Losers: Nashville (what a stinker!), American Idol

    Also, PD should have done better.

    ReplyDelete
  119. The voice 2.1
    SVU 1.8
    Pd 1.5

    ReplyDelete
  120. That is plain awful.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Ouch nashville

    ReplyDelete
  122. Nashville is embrassing

    ReplyDelete
  123. That is just atrocious for the nashville! The show should be moved for summer permanently, it will probably be below 1.0 permanently on Sundays.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Series low for Nashville

    ReplyDelete
  125. I will say it makes revenge ook better

    ReplyDelete
  126. Doesn't really matter now though, but yeah I agree that it does.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Nashville gets thr good timeslot, the promotion of Christina Aguilera, an okay lead-in yet it Hits the same number revenge gets on a sunday

    ReplyDelete
  128. And now I'm convinced NBC should have flipped Law and Order: SVU and Chicago PD.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Does not matter Unfortunately :( revenge will be cancelled/ emd

    ReplyDelete
  130. A fourth season is guaranteed, but I don't know where they are going to schedule it.

    ReplyDelete
  131. OnSunday at 10pm since revenge will not be coming back

    ReplyDelete
  132. It will likely do worse when moved

    ReplyDelete
  133. They will put it Sundays at 10 even though in my opinion they should air half of the season Thursdays during TGIT hiatus and the other half in the summer.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Yeah exactly. It will probably be sub 1 permanently unless ABC stumbles upon a big hit at 9pm (and then it is also stupid to have it lead into such a flop)

    ReplyDelete
  135. Idol started off respectable but wow this is just bad

    ReplyDelete
  136. well that is ABC's great way of thinking and scheduling

    ReplyDelete
  137. I think they have become actually great at scheduling for the most part but this one will be a hard one to swallow.

    Ouch Nashville. Hopefully next week with Xtina will rebound a little. Seems like a lot of shows are off this easter week

    OuchNashville!.Thankfully,you're a season away from syndication

    ReplyDelete
  140. Across the two hours it's down 30% year on year.

    ReplyDelete
  141. Yeah that is true. I am trying to let out my grief/ anger somewhere. I should probably do it on TVBTN q

    ReplyDelete
  142. It might be time for CM to move

    ReplyDelete
  143. I meant spring

    March 26 2014 3.4/11 12.45

    As opposed to March 26 2015 2.8/9 11.62

    Those are both one hour Tuesday episodes. It goes on and on in the spring vs spring cycles. This season is lower than last spring cycle. Period.



    ReplyDelete
  144. Like I've said, you are incorrect.

    http://www.spottedratings.com/2013/06/the-war-of-18-49-voice.html

    You can check out full season averages and ratings for the entire episodes in there. If you prefer to ignore the facts, that is fine as well.

    ReplyDelete
  145. Blackish did pretty well, should move it to Tuesdays.

    The Goldbergs really hurt from that hiatus

    ReplyDelete
  146. The Goldbergs is not hurt from the hiatus, it is hurt from DST.

    Cyber steady, but that 1.4 is too low anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  148. Matthew Zamora9 April 2015 at 16:17

    Wow Idol... you started off strong but now you just keep sinking... At least the voice is sinking too... Think it is time singing competitions just end all together... No one becomes much of a success these days anyways

    ReplyDelete
  149. Keep your little link to yourself. You posted a link from 2013 and we're discussing the voice ratings for 2015 which are lower than previous seasons. Period. Lol. But I read your comments. You're a certified fan of the the show. The rest of the world can see the ratings are down but you can keep checking for those 2013 and 2014 numbers of it makes you feel better. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  150. I keep seeing promotions for it on National Geographic Adria too.

    ReplyDelete
  151. The Voice is the 4th highest rated show on broadcast television and is by far NBC's #1 show. Why would it end?

    ReplyDelete
  152. Devon Maxwell-Pierce9 April 2015 at 16:20

    It pains me deeply that it does better than Elementary and POI. Such quality shows.

    ReplyDelete
  153. A 1.4 for American Idol? Wow. I remember when it was hitting 7s and 8s not many years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Jeez American Idol I have never seen a 1.3 for it,horrible
    Nashville and CSI Cyber did also bad
    Good for NBC,ABC Comedies,Survivor and Criminal Minds.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I don't even watch the voice anymore. And the link I've shown you has the entire ratings history of the show. You are deluded and I have no interest in continuing this conversation so I will end it now, be well.

    ReplyDelete
  156. I wouldn't be surprised if next year, for the winner of AI to be given a guest pot on EMPIRE versus a recording contract in an attempt to make people care to watch IDOL.

    ReplyDelete
  157. Offtopic: Has ABC cancelled Wipeout,its not in its summer schedule?

    ReplyDelete
  158. Matthew Zamora9 April 2015 at 16:24

    I am not saying to end it tomorrow, but if ratings keep sinking it will no longer be much of anything, low 2's is nothing to be proud of... Plus no one on the voice has become a success, not that I know of... What is the point of singing competitions if the winners are going no where?... Singing competitions are obsolete and it is time to move on to better things

    ReplyDelete
  159. I think they may be giving it a rest. Last summer's ratings were dreadful.

    ReplyDelete
  160. American Idol dropping really fast. FOX better start hoping Wayward Pines can do something because the rest of their lineup is fading. While not good numbers for Middle it is still doIng decent and with cast signed they are coming back. Cyber may be steady, but even those numbers aren't good enough for CBS. The Voice has fallen but not as bad as Idol and is still good for NBC

    ReplyDelete
  161. The point is to sell adds during the telecasts, hence making the networks money, a purpose which the voice fulfills damn well.

    ReplyDelete
  162. Sunday 8-10 PM is empty after August 9, since Celeb Family Feud and BattleBots are both only 6 weeks. After those will end, Bachelor in Paradise will have an out-of-timeslot premiere on August 2 (a Sunday). After that, nothing has been announced so ABC can air Wipeout in there double pumped.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Your lame that Tuesday epidoes are have been higher with the exception of last week's episode. I posted numbers of ratings two before that that showed ratings were more than half a ratings points lower and there's more where that came from. You're the deluded one. The voice only scored higher ratings in the first 3 episodes this spring cycle. Since then, they've been lower than previous spring cycles every episodes, lol. The only deluded one is you. The numbers don't lie.

    ReplyDelete
  164. I don't think Wayward Pines will be mainstream enough to generate large ratings.

  166. I have to agree,look at American Odyssey and American Crime,all shows that are better suited for cable.

    ReplyDelete
  167. I quite enjoyed the pilot but I think it will have limited appeal

    ReplyDelete
  168. FOX is bad now but I think they can easily turn it around. They don't program that many hours which means that with a couple of successes among freshman shows (looking at you Scream Queens, Minority Report), a couple of strong returnees (Gotham, Empire, Sunday shows) and a couple of reliable steady players (Masterchef Jr., Bones) they can build a schedule quite easily.

    ReplyDelete
  169. Maybe summer is better for it for that reason then. Expectations are lower so it would be better suited for that narrow appeal you are mentioning.

    ReplyDelete
  170. Matthew Zamora9 April 2015 at 16:29

    Geez you are a hard core The Voice fan... Never heard of someone being so protective of a reality show... Yeah sure adds, whatever, at the end of the day most people fast forward through them anyways... The Voice never was and never will be what Idol once was, and right now yes it is much better than Idol, but if NBC would just use a little brain power I am sure they can come up with something that will do a hell of a lot better than The Voice... The fact that Survivor can beat The Voice should speak for it self

    ReplyDelete
  171. Yikes at 1.0 for Nashville at the 2nd half hour,makes Forever and Revenge look much better woth much lower lead ins

    ReplyDelete
  172. addictedtowordsx9 April 2015 at 16:29

    Nashville goes from a 1.2 to 1.0? So the finals would be what? Stay 1.1 or drop down to 1.0? :(

    ReplyDelete
  173. I don't watch the voice!

    ReplyDelete
  174. Roses are red violets are blue9 April 2015 at 16:29

    I can guarantee with that type of treatment revenge would've done much better, seeing how it's holding on as much as it could. But I know that Nashville will be doing Betrayal levels when they move it to Sunday in the fall.

    ReplyDelete
  175. Roses are red violets are blue9 April 2015 at 16:30

    It will be doing Betrayal levels

    ReplyDelete
  176. Matthew Zamora9 April 2015 at 16:30

    So then why do you care so damn much?

    ReplyDelete
  177. Its the same average as 1.1/1.1. Half hours mostly dont mean anything but it will probably stay at 1.1.

    ReplyDelete
  178. addictedtowordsx9 April 2015 at 16:30

    Yeah, if this happened last season.. we'd be in trouble. Thank god for Syndication.

    ReplyDelete
  179. I am just stating facts, that is not the same as caring.

    ReplyDelete
  180. addictedtowordsx9 April 2015 at 16:30

    Oh okay. I never know with half hours.

    ReplyDelete
  181. I hope so their numbers ,except for Empire, have been terrible. Hope Gotham comes back to decent numbers as well

    ReplyDelete
  182. I am quite scared for Gotham since is has been off for so damn long.

    ReplyDelete
  183. Matthew Zamora9 April 2015 at 16:31

    "...the voice fulfills damn well."



    Very protective wording = caring

    ReplyDelete
  184. Why? What I said is the truth...

    ReplyDelete
  185. I have heard this season of Nashville is one of the best,that it improved against first seasons,so its weird to see this horrible drops.

    ReplyDelete
  186. Bryan Champion9 April 2015 at 16:33

    I wonder what they are going to do with CSI franchise. Cancel Vegas or Cyber ? Cancel both ?
    Honestly I can't imagine them getting rid of the franchise...

    ReplyDelete
  187. Probably not, and the fact that Bones, which I still like, is not even close to being a good lead in for this show. Two or three years ago maybeBones could have been a better lead in, not now.

    ReplyDelete
  188. Matthew Zamora9 April 2015 at 16:34

    True but someone who doesn't care about the show wouldn't have said it like that IMO

    ReplyDelete
  189. Greice Moreira9 April 2015 at 16:34

    Wow The Middle pulled a 1.8 against The Voice and Survivor, with DST and no lead in. Seriously, now I'm confident with its move to Tuesday. And since Fresh off the boat and The Goldbergs are similar shows, the viewers will have the same feelings as on Wednesday. If Middle can get a 2 or 1.9 at 8 pm (I'm being conservative cause Tuesday seem cursed), and FOTB can rise to a 1.6-1.7, then with Shield being stable at 1.6, ABC just needs a decent show at 10 pm (Smoke and Mirrors from Shonda is the perfect option), then Tuesday is fixed for ABC :) it won't be a hit night like Thurdays (and it seems even Thurdays are losing steam with Greys under a 2 and Scandal pulling low 2), but it will be the first healthy Tuesday lineup in years.

    ReplyDelete
  190. I think CBS will cancel Cyber and renew Vegas. We have all seen what happened when they had put one episode on Tuesday and it got 1.8 after repeats. CSI Vegas would do miles better than Cyber after CM.

    ReplyDelete
  191. I used to watch it (I watched Seasons 4, 5 and 6) and I actually enjoyed it but I grew tired of it. In any case, I think I say enough ratings stuff around here to show that I try to be impartial about all the shows and go with facts for the most part. You will see me calling losers to shows I like and winners to shows I don't like.

    ReplyDelete
  192. I wonder if CBS will puck up the CM spinoff next season. I feel of they do and they air it at 10 after CM it'll do no better and maybe worse than Stalker and Cyber. I think CBS should be more bold and use Survivor, which is consistently strong, to air a new drama like Supergirl. CM should move to 10. It has a v loyal following and I think it would do decently there

    ReplyDelete
  193. Bryan Champion9 April 2015 at 16:37

    yeah so I guess CSI Vegas would be put on another day (because that Sunday night was killing it, literally)
