Now that we've got a fair amount of ratings information we thought we'd start to publish the ratings numbers in terms of raw viewers. The charts below use the overnight (non-adjusted) number of viewers for each show on the main Broadcast Networks ONLY (ABC, CBS, CW, NBC and FOX). It's not meant to be a 100% accurate list of ratings but should be seen as a way to see roughly how shows are performing week on week.
We hope you find this useful. We'll be keeping these updated on a near daily basis. If you notice any missing shows/ratings please let me know.


>top two shows with viewership increase
ReplyDelete>Big Bang Theory and Grey's Anatomy
I'm pleased with this.
Nice one, interesting read :)
ReplyDeleteCSI Miami was posted earlier 10.43 mln. viewers, here just 9.54 mln.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I've fixed that.
ReplyDeletehave you considered posting the ratings after finals have been released? It would give a more accurate view of how a show is doing.
ReplyDeleteNo, these are not intended to be 100% accurate but to give an approximate indication. There are other sites that have all the detailed stats etc. We're just interested in looking at general trends etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this!
ReplyDeleteOur pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this together for us schmucks lol. Makes it very easy to see at a glance what's doing well and what isn't
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what i was looking for! The numbers might not be written in stone(yet), but being able to check on a show, and having the week and numbers together is perfect. Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteOur pleasure Laura
ReplyDeleteWow totally awesome. Will have to come back later when I am awake to recheck everything. Tee hee
ReplyDeleteThe saying fits, YOU ROCK!
ReplyDeleteThese tables always sadden me. Why is it I always watch TV where some of the plot suspense is will be able to see the whole thing and will it be renewed for another season. I need to start getting into reality TV competitions. Or not.
ReplyDeletesweet...i like to keep track of how my fav shows are doing, our fan base seem to be even so im breathing easy for now.
ReplyDeleteThis is very interesting and will be cool to keep track off! thanks!
ReplyDeleteInteresting info, thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea. One thing, in the last table, the big one, you posted 1.95 million for Supernatural premiere, but the actual number (final) was 2.1 mil.
ReplyDeleteYep as we said, these are the overnight numbers and not the final adjusted ones.
ReplyDeleteNo ratings for House?
ReplyDeleteOops, hit refresh now. I'd forgotten to copy the daily ratings value for House to our summary table :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, reminds me of seeing the numbers for LOST on DarkUFO.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Community and Parks and Rec gained some viewers even if a tiny amount.
By the way Dark, do you know what the deal is with the, I'm not sure what to call them, "tags" by some names? Like here I am marked "Top 100" but on /Film (slashfilm.com) I am marked "Well Liked." Is it a new Disqus feature?
ReplyDeleteHey Joseph,
ReplyDeleteYep, see here http://www.spoilertv.com/2011/09/new-features-added-to-comments-system.html
Basically Disqus now allows site owner to "rank" the commentators.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for putting this together ;) Just one small question, does that mean Taahm has gained 6.07 viewers ? Really?
ReplyDeleteSorry, what's taahm?
ReplyDeleteI love this! I know i thanked you last week,I just can't help it!! THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa,that's fine :) We love getting thanks here at SpoilerTV. It means we're doing things right !
ReplyDeleteTwo and a half men ;)
ReplyDeleteAh lol.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's lost 6.07 Million :)
Thanks ;) now all makes a little more sense ;P
ReplyDeleteCool, I like it. Even if I don't get or utilize some of the features you put on this site, I think it's awesome that you have them. :)
ReplyDeleteHa, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteHa no.
ReplyDeleteWhat we do is rank various criteria by importance eg No, of comments, quality of comments, no of replies, replies to comments, likes etc Disqus then processes these and calculates your score and then ranks them :)
Ah, I was indisposed when that article was put up. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say site owners rank the commentators, I assume you mean it's like an automated thing and not you personally ranking people? Haha.
No ratings for House?
ReplyDeleteCastle is the best show ever,i want to see it in the 1st.
ReplyDeleteTwo and a Half Men lost 10 million viewers between episodes 1 and 3? Wow. And wow too Big Bang Theory, its numbers are impressive.
ReplyDeleteNot that it means a whole lot, but Supernatural was 1.80 million viewers last week. It was adjusted up in the finals
ReplyDeleteYep, we only show and use the overnight numbers for the purposes of this chart/table
ReplyDeleteThanks Rama, just added it.
ReplyDeleteThere's one rating missing for Hart of Dixie. I saw the table for 90210, and there's 4 episodes meaning that this is up to date. But Hart of Dixie shows just only 1 episode whereas there have been two episodes aired..
ReplyDeleteA thing of beauty
ReplyDeleteHappy for Body of Proof. Sad for Fringe.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, love that NCIS is still going so strong, Big Bang Theory is still gaining viewers and is in the top 5, and that Castle is making a run at the top 10!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it looks like only the show Big Bang Theory has now remained steadily whereas the other powerhouses like Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy sank to an all-time low, but it's the eighth show for both so I guess this is imaginable..
ReplyDeleteI thought that Pan Am would be doing well, didn't expect it to sink so fast..
wow gossip girl was the lowest. wish my favorite Supernatural was doing better.
ReplyDeleteGood, that NCIS is still so high up there. I hope they'll bypass Two and a half men midseason! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteGreat that The Good Wife is doing so well.
ReplyDeleteGo Grey's!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing this, all I want is to see 4.0 or more for my Friday night obsession- FRINGE.
ReplyDeleteYou and me, both.
ReplyDeleteWhy are mah fave shows at the end :(. Boy, I can pick 'em.
ReplyDeleteKind of sad for House that baseball ran over and screwed up their rating for last week. I've been reading in several places that people who DVR'd got Terra Nova instead. I hope that next week's numbers better reflect the viewing audience.
ReplyDeletei love H5-0!!
ReplyDeletego H5-0!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between , the overnight numbers and the final adjusted one ???
ReplyDeletesometimes i worry about my Supernatural...luv it too much to lose it!! So far it's not in danger yet, TG!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that NCIS an NCIS LA is doing so well,but then i see how Fringe is doing,wow what a bummer! Come on Fringe Fans,Watch live!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Revenge is holding steady.
ReplyDeleteHow is it that even though Fringe has more viewers that Vampire Diaries, Vampire Diaries seems to be doing better overall?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by doing better?
ReplyDeleteWell, on the cancellation index for example Fringe is "likely to be cancelled" (which makes me sad) and TVD is way farther up in the "safe" section.
ReplyDeleteAh I was wondering as this post was about Viewing Numbers and Drops and not the Cancellation table. I was confused.
ReplyDeleteThe reason is because Fringe is on FOX which is a much larger network and therefore has larger viewing numbers. TVD is on CW so their numbers are much smaller and don't require huge numbers to be a hit. Also Fringe is a LOT more expensive to film and produce.
But Fringe is awesome, shouldn't that count for something?!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I get it now. It still sucks that Fringe's ratings are so low, though.
Thanks!
Unfortunately show quality does not count for anything :( It's all amount the money for the networks.
ReplyDeleteHmmm...
ReplyDeleteNIKITA has quite a small drop.
ReplyDeleteHouse, after the debacle that was Season 7, has yet to crack 10M. Wow. It's early days yet, of course, and there's baseball interruptus. Spread the word, friends: Of the three episodes, two have been outstanding, kicking it old school. There's hope, hang on, come back, check it out.
ReplyDeleteI wish so much that I lived in the US so I could watch Fringe live and contribute to the numbers, but sadly I'm helpless and all I can do is watch the numbers drop on the most amazing show that's in danger of being cancelled.
ReplyDeleteFascinating that the vast proportion of shows are losing. It's almost a case of who is losing the fewest number of viewers rather than who is gaining. To hold your viewers is a huge success.
ReplyDeleteThat is so nice,your heart is with us and that matters!
ReplyDeleteI would have thought Bones would attract a larger audience,considering it was a season premiere.Am i reading it wrong?
ReplyDelete10 Million is pretty good for Bones. The first 3 seasons averaged less that 9.5 million.
ReplyDeleteThanks,i guess i didn't remember!
ReplyDeleteCastle's doin fine :D
ReplyDeleteOkay,seems Fringe is doing a little better so i broke into a little jig,an sang a little Hallelujah!!! :)
ReplyDeletethe walking dead isnt on any of the lists!!
ReplyDeleteSame here, Amber. I'm with you about Fringe being the most amazing show (since Lost) and I feel so helpless too. For the networks it's all about the numbers and money, and not quality, so we just count for nothing here :-(
ReplyDeletei don't understand why i see H50 rating 10.84 and again on week 8 on last chart it's only 9.95?
ReplyDeleteThat was their overnight rating for the last episode
ReplyDeleteAll those numbers posted above are basically meaningless as they are only the preliminaries, not the final ratings
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteWow is The Vampire Diaries absolutely crushing the rest of that network.
ReplyDeleteI mean, climbing to 3.3 million on The CW? That's twice what another drama needs to be renewed for that network.
just wanted to let you know the premiere of Gossip Girl was 1.37 million viewers not 1.55 and episode 2 of Gossip Girl was 1.34 million viewers not 1.45 million viewers and episode 8 is 1.35 not 1.48 so the average for the season is 1.29 not 1.37
ReplyDeleteWith 22% drop, does that mean House is likely not going to have a 9th season?
ReplyDeleteYou probably want to check this post and table out
ReplyDeletehttp://www.spoilertv.com/2011/09/spoilertv-cancellation-predicator-table.html
Cool! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAm i reading this right,the numbers for Bones is the same as last week?
ReplyDeleteNumbers may be low but Supernatural has my heart. There.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that Once Upon a Time is steadily losing viewers, or am I reading the ratings table wrong?
ReplyDeleteNope, you're reading correctly. It's losing viewers
ReplyDeleteEveryone seems to be loving it so I find it very strange.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's due to the football game being shown the same evening.
It's still very strong but it will be interesting to see if they keep declining or if they level out.
ReplyDeleteThe ratings of A Gifted Man are not bad. How come is it so likely to be cancelled?
ReplyDeleteThey are very bad in terms of the key demographics of the 18-49 year old range. That is the key demo for advertisers.
ReplyDeleteJust an information. What time zone does this site use, as opposed to GMT? Thanks.
ReplyDeletewhoa, what happend to Castle?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that show! it better not get cancelled!
ReplyDeleteI give PanAm til the rest of their season before flaming out
ReplyDeleteThey had a repeat on last night,and it wasn't on that long ago.Plus H5-0 was live and Chin was getting married.
ReplyDeleteInteresting stuff, thanks for doing it. Some of the numbers confuse me a bit, but overall I like most of what I'm seeing.
ReplyDeletegood read
ReplyDeleteThanks;)
ReplyDeleteI see a mistake. Most of the posts reports Once Upon A Time as having 10.83 million viewers, but in the chart it's 10.33. It's relatively minor but still important while looking at overall charts..
ReplyDeleteThanks Rama, fixed. My fat fingers
ReplyDeleteThanks for this.
ReplyDeletegreat read ;)just little question, according wikipedia 10 episodes of 'A Gifted Man' have aired, but in the table are only 9greetings from Czech Republic :)
ReplyDeleteHi Michal.
ReplyDeleteHmm, looks like I might have missed one. I'll see if I can find and fix it.
Should be fixed now :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this!!
ReplyDeleteHappy for The Big Bang Theory .My fav TV show
ReplyDeleteWonderful to have it all neat and together! Great job. Thank you. :)
ReplyDeleteDo you have there the final numbers or just the preliminaries?
Just preliminary numbers
ReplyDeleteForgive me, am I reading this incorrectly? Or has "Supernatural" dropped 11.52%?
ReplyDeleteHow is Are You There, Chelsea? at a minus? o_O
ReplyDeleteOops, fat fingers.
ReplyDeleteAll fixed :)
Thanks! :)
ReplyDeletewoohoo Secret Circle has a big drop! I hope that continues and that stupid show gets cancelled! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI hope stupid people like you get banned by sopa, that's what they should do.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteof all the shows that i watch only one is over 10 mil average per episode (modern family) and two are on the 10 mil range (himym and the good wife). the rest, all below the 10 mil, my favourite being fringe and community... :S watching tv like this is pretty stressful!
ReplyDeleteJust want to say that alot of the ratings are wrong. Those are only the preliminaries, not the finals. For example they have 1.63 listed for the last episode of Supernatural. That was the preliminary rating. The final it was actually 1.72
ReplyDeleteI know, we state very clearly that these are not the finales.
ReplyDeletencis & his cousin ncis la almost 20 million viewers congratulation to the writers of both shows they are awesome and amazing keep creativiti up.
ReplyDeleteWell Heck Fringe did better this week! YAY i'll take it.....
ReplyDeleteWay to go, BODY OF PROOF!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Glad to see some shows do well, and worried about those doing less well!
ReplyDeleteOooo it's not looking good for Ringer and not so good for Alcatra :S
ReplyDeleteThis really should come with a warning so people who don't understand the ratings system don't relay on it as a renewal/cancellation indicator for their favourite shows.
ReplyDeleteThat's why they have the Cancellation Predictor.
ReplyDeletewow awesome chart
ReplyDeletethank you!
wow gossip girl was the lowest. wish my favorite Supernatural was doing better.
