    Ratings Analysis:
    NBC opened this third week of the new TV season on a winning overnight note, besting No. 2 ABC and CBS by 13 percent in households. With “The Voice” as the anchor, NBC’s advantage in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demos) will be more significant.

    Two more hours of “The Voice” scored a 7.9 rating/12 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., which was seven percent above older-skewing competitor “Dancing With the Stars” on ABC (7.4/11).

    In the battle of the 10 p.m. drama series premieres, “Timeless” on NBC (#2: 5.0/ 9) was a hefty 35 percent above “Conviction” on ABC (#3: 3.7/ 6). But “Timeless” opened 15 percent below “Blindspot” on the year-ago evening (5.9/10 on 10/05/15, which translated into 9.06 million viewers and a 2.4 rating/8 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data). It slipped by 32 percent from the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (7.9/12). And it trailed the second half of the two-hour season premiere of CBS’ “Scorpion” (#1: 5.3/ 9) by six percent.

    “Conviction,” the real loser here, trailed fading year-ago time period occupant “Castle” (4.7/ 8 on 10/05/15) by 21 percent in the household overnights (which translated into 6.76 million viewers and a 1.2/ 4 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data). It dropped from the 9:30 p.m. portion of “Dancing With the Stars” (7.1/11) by 48 percent. And slipped by 17 percent in the second half-hour (4.0/ 7 to 3.3/ 6), which was more severe than the 13 percent for competing “Timeless” on NBC (5.4/ 9 to 4.7/ 8).

    Overall, the two-hour “Scorpion” season-opener on CBS (5.4/ 8 from 9-11 p.m.) was 18 percent below the 6.6/11 for the regularly scheduled 9-10 p.m. installment on the year-ago evening.

    Earlier in the evening, “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS topped the night with a 9.1/15 in the household overnights at 8 p.m. And it led into a 5.9/ 9 for episode three of Kevin James sitcom “Kevin Can Wait” at 8:30 p.m., which was comparable to the 5.7/ 9 for “Life in Pieces” on the year-ago evening. Three-week overnight track for “Kevin Can Wait”: 7.1/11 – 6.5/ 9 – 5.9/ 9.

    The true test for “Kevin Can Wait,” of course, will come on Oct. 24 when it moves to Monday at 8 p.m. into new Matt LeBlanc sitcom “Man With a Plan.”

    Elsewhere, Fox could not compete with its pairing of dramas “Gotham” (#4: 2.4/ 4) and “Lucifer” (#4: 2.6/ 4). And The CW aired two more repeat episodes of “Supergirl” (#5: avg. 0.7/ 1 from 8-10 p.m.), which opens season two (and its first on The CW) next Monday.

  • About the Daily Ratings - Please Read if you are new to 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.
