  • Last Week's Final Adjusted Ratings


  • Early HH Ratings from Marc Berman (programminginsider)
    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)

    NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

    Ratings Breakdown:
    CBS inched past Fox by one-tenth of a household rating point for Wednesday overnight dominance. But the home of “Empire,” which topped the night with a 6.5 rating/11 share in the household overnights at 9 p.m., is still the network to beat in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demographics). Comparably, “Empire” increased from lead-in “Rosewood” (#3: 3.3/ 6 at 8 p.m.) by 97 percent.

    Tops on CBS was ageless “Survivor” at a dominant 5.7/ 9 in the 8 p.m. hour, which should translate into about a 2-rating in adults 18-49. Next was the season-finale of veteran “Criminal Minds” (#3: 5.3/ 8 at 9 p.m.), which is still waiting word on an official 12th season renewal. And that led into a 4.2/ 7 at 10 p.m. (#2) for recently introduced spin-off “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders,” which trailed competing “Chicago PD” on NBC (#1: 4.3/ 7) by one-tenth of a rating point. Third in the 10 p.m. hour was ABC’s “Nashville” at a 3.0/ 5, which was 19 percent below lead-in “black-ish” (#4: 3.7/ 6 at 9:30 p.m.) and is also waiting word in its fate. My prediction is a 13-episode order for one final season of “Nashville.”

    Earlier in the evening on ABC were typical overnights for sitcoms “The Middle” (#2: 4.9/ 8), “The Goldbergs” (#2: 4.4/ 7) and “Modern Family” (#2t: 5.2/ 8) from 8-9:30 p.m.

    On NBC, modest recent drama entry “Heartbeat” sunk to a series-low 2.8/ 5 at 8 p.m., which will certainly not bode well for a second season renewal. One year earlier, former time period occupant “The Mysteries of Laura” scored a 4.3/ 7 (and is expected to be renewed for a third season). Veteran “Law & Order: SVU” followed with a below-average 3.7/ 6 (#4) from 9-10 p.m.

    The CW’s combination of “Arrow” (#5: 1.5/ 3) and “Supernatural” (#5: 1.2/ 2) were at typical overnight levels.

  • 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
    Ratings FAQ.
