  • 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.

    Household Rating/Share
    CBS: 4.2/ 7, NBC: 4.1/ 7, Fox: 3.8/ 6, ABC: 3.7/ 6, CW: 0.6/ 1

    Percent Change from the Year-Ago Evening:
    ABC and CBS each: -12, NBC and Fox: -21 each, CW: -33


    -Ratings Breakdown:
    CBS was the top draw in the household overnights on this second Wednesday of 2017, but the variation from first place to fourth place was only 0.5 rating points. Time period filler “Undercover Boss” on CBS finished fourth in the 8 p.m. hour with a 3.6 rating/6 share in households, leading into typical overnight ratings for dramas “Criminal Minds” (#1: 4.7/ 8) and “Code Black” (#2: 4.2/ 7) from 9-11 p.m. Upcoming CBS drama “Doubt” debuts in the Wednesday 10 p.m. hour on Feb. 15.

    Next was NBC with its older-skewing combination of dramas “Blindspot” (#4: 3.5/ 6), “Law & Order: SVU” (#3: 4.3/ 7) and “Chicago PD” (#1: 4.5/ 8). Of note for NBC in late night was “The Tonight Show” featuring First Lady Michelle Obama at a 3.0 rating in the household overnights, which was its top Wednesday score in 10 months (since March 2, 2016).

    Third overall was Fox care of sure-to-be renewed “Lethal Weapon” (#1: 4.4/ 7 at 8 p.m.), which is one of the few bright spots on the network this season, and recent entry “Star” (#4: 3.3/ 5), which compared to the debut of failed year-ago drama “Second Chance” (3.1/ 5 on 1/13/16) was only up by six percent.

    On ABC, recent returnee “The Match Game” (#3: 2.8/ 5 at 10 p.m.) was the weak link, slipping by 26 percent from lead-in “black-ish” (#3: 3.8/ 6 at 9:30 p.m.). Earlier in the evening on ABC was the combination of sitcoms “The Goldbergs” (#1t: 4.4/ 7), “Speechless” (#1t: 3.7/ 6) and “Modern Family” (#1: 5.0/ 8) all at typical overnight levels from 8-9:30 p.m.

    The CW capped off the evening with an encore telecast of “The Flash” and a burn-off episode of canceled drama “Frequency” each at a 0.6/ 1.

  • 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.
