    Ratings Breakdown:
    The final Thursday Night Football match-up on CBS, the Chicago Bears at the Green Bay Packers, led this fifth Thursday of the new TV season with ease at an estimated 7.3 rating/12 share in the household overnights from 8:30-11:30 p.m. But this was still 21 percent below the 9.2/15 for the year-ago match-up. As a reminder, overnight results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

    Next Thursday on CBS will feature the return of “The Big Bang Theory” to the 8 p.m. half-hour, followed by the series-premiere of sitcom “The Great Indoors,” the season premieres of “Mom” and relocated “Life in Pieces,” and the series premiere of drama “Pure Genius.”

    On Fox, two-hour musical event, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do Time the Warp Again,” disappointed at a 3.4/ 5 in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. While this was 48 percent above the overnights for week-ago Thursday night occupants “Rosewood” and “Pitch” (avg. 2.3/ 4 on Oct. 13) and 26 percent above the year-ago combination of “Bones” and “Sleepy Hollow” (avg. 2.7/ 4 on 10/22/15), it was also 54 percent below the household rating for the live production of “Grease!” on Sunday, Jan. 31, 2016 (7.4/11). “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do Time the Warp Again,” additionally, declined in each half-hour as follows: 3.9/ 6 – 3.5/ 6 – 3.2/ 5 – 2.9/ 5. From the first half-hour to the last half-hour it was down by 26 percent.

    Thursday at 9 p.m. remains a particular sore spot for ABC, meanwhile, with recent entry “Notorious” at a fourth-place 2.9/ 5. Comparably, that was 55 percent below year-ago occupant “Scandal” (6.4/10 on 10/22/15) and the household retention out of lead-in “Grey’s Anatomy” (#1: 5.7. 9 from 8-9 p.m.) was only 49 percent.

    With diminished lead-in support, ABC’s “How To Get Away With Murder” at 10 p.m. dropped by 38 percent year-to-year, with a third-place 3.3/ 6.

    On NBC, sitcoms “Superstore” (#4: 2.8/ 5) and recent entry “The Good Place” (#4: 2.5/ 4) dipped to season lows, with the pair, on average, only equal to short-lived year-ago time period occupant “Heroes Reborn.” But relocated “Chicago Med” rose to a second-place 4.5/ 7 at 9 p.m., building by 80 percent out of “The Good Place.” And it led into a 3.7/ 6 (#2) for relocated “The Blacklist,” which was 23 percent below its year-ago overnight performance in the Thursday 9 p.m. hour (4.8/ 8 on 10/22/15).

    Improved The CW capped off the night with its combination of dramas “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (#5: 1.4/ 2) and relocated “Supernatural” (#5: 1.2/ 2), which were 44 percent, on average, above the year-ago pairing of “The Vampire Diaries” (1.1/ 2) and spin-off “The Originals” (0.8/ 1).

    What follows is the breakdown by half-hour for Thursday, Oct. 20:

    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).
