-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another clean overnight Thursday sweep for CBS, which bested distant No. 2 ABC by 71 percent. Note to Angus T. Jones: Viewers are still watching the show you hate being on. Red-hot The Big Bang Theory opened the evening for the Eye net with an 11.2 rating/18 share at 8 p.m., which topped the evening and led into veteran Two and a Half Men at a 9.0/14 at 8:30 p.m. Next was sophomore Person of Interest (#2: 9.2/14), which is one of those CBS crime solvers that has a long shelf life, followed by recently introduced Elementary at a 6.8/12 at 10 p.m. Retention for Elementary out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Person of Interest was acceptable at 75 percent.
On ABC, freshman drama Last Resort earned its cancellation stripes with a distant third-place 3.7/ 6 at 8 p.m. Aging Grey’s Anatomy perked up to a 6.7/11 at 9 p.m., which was 91 percent above the 8:30 p.m. portion of Last Resort (3.5/ 6), followed by sophomore Scandal at a second-place 5.0/ 9 at 10 p.m. Retention for Scandal out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Grey’s Anatomy (6.8/11), both Shonda Rhimes dramas, was 74 percent.
Over at Fox, The X Factor led off the night with a second-place 5.3/ 9 at 8 p.m., which was 27 percent below the 7.3/12 on the year-ago evening. That led into relocated Glee at a third-place 3.8/ 6 at 9 p.m., which continues to underperform its former Tuesday 8 p.m. performance. Of positive note for Glee, however, is the ongoing solid DVR figures.
Elsewhere, the marriage of Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) to Criss Chross (James Marsden) on NBC’s soon-to-conclude 30 Rock did not help much, with a fourth-place 3.0/ 5 in the overnights at 8 p.m.. Next on the Peacock net was hiatus-bound Up All Night at a mere 2.4/ 4 (#4) at 8:30 p.m., followed by tired The Office (#4: 3.0/ 5), which concludes this spring, overrated Parks and Recreation (#4: 2.3/ 6) and Rock Center With Brian Williams (#3: 3.0/ 5) from 9-11 p.m. As a reminder, Parks and Recreation shifts to Thursday at 8:30 p.m. out of returning Community effective on February 7.
The CW capped off this final Thursday in November with young demo favorite The Vampire Diaries (#5: 2.3/ 4 at 8 p.m.) and the recently introduced remake of Beauty and the Beast (#3: 1.3/ 2 at 9 p.m.), which is no better than failed year-ago occupant The Secret Circle.

Love, love, love, love, LOVE seein' POI under 'WINNERS' each week! Season 3, here we come! People thought this show would flop when it premiered, I love when people are wrong like that about I show I love!
ReplyDeleteHappy for PoI, nice to see that it continues to do so well :)
ReplyDeleteArrow had yesterday 2,6/4 and TVD has 2,3/4 --> I'm hoping that Arrow has beat TVD... :D
ReplyDeleteNot to be mean, but I hope Glee is below 2.4.
ReplyDeleteArrow skews way older than the vampire diaries, so it is very hard to te from the overnights
ReplyDeleteyes Arrow had 3.74 million with a 1.3 rating and two weeks ago TVD had 2.84 million with a 1.3 rating. So TVD had 0.80 million less and had the same rating.
ReplyDeleteyes poi are popular hope it gets renewed for atleast 3 seasons
ReplyDeleteand this episode was so funny with the whole mr.and mrs smith story line:)) haha so funny
ReplyDeleteanyone else here who is thinking that elementary is awesome::)))
ReplyDeleteit can go below that and still be renewed next season, its still FOX's highest rated drama
ReplyDeleteOops, I think you forgot the table again!
ReplyDeleteElementary was superb once again, great role played by Lisa Edelstein, and JLM as Sherlock is perfection. Lucy Liu as Watson played the character well at the end of last nights episode, which I am thrilled about since it keeps their relationship platonic and a growing friendship albeit Sherlock is still acting like a little kid but JLM plays it off beautifully,
ReplyDeleteLisa Edelstein was just amazing last night but i feel they could have used her a little more
ReplyDeletemy first language is norwegian so i wonder what does superb stand for
ReplyDeleteok thanks:))) there are some english word i have a problem with understanding but not so many:))
ReplyDeleteI don't see the table?
ReplyDelete@google-47a6b31548d22cb6815876e6bb47ce1a:disqus Should be there now
ReplyDeleteHa, I'm must be getting old!
ReplyDeletei see you watch the simpsons, for a funny title of the post
ReplyDeleteYes, me !
ReplyDeleteCW was preempted in Atlanta for the Falcons games and Baltimore for a High School Football game
ReplyDeleteha i taught i was the only one in the whole world:))) just kidding
ReplyDeleteit was preemted elsewhere too
ReplyDeleteAre those viewing figures of 2.15 correct for Beauty and the Beast. It seems a very large jump from last weeks 1.6 and also from it's normal figures of around 1.8.
ReplyDeleteSorry but what does this mean, as come from UK so do not understand it.
ReplyDeleteIt means in certain parts of the USA the show didn't air but instead some sports were shown, which normally results in the ratings being inflated. We'll posted the adjusted final numbers in the Episode database when they are released later.
ReplyDeleteThe episode database is here http://www.stvplus.com
On the CW, Vampire Diaries scored a 1.5 adults 18-49 rating up 15% from a 1.3 on November 15. Beauty And The Beast garnered a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating up 33% from a 0.6 on November 15. However, these numbers may be inflated due to being preempted for NFL football in Atlanta and high school football in Baltimore.
ReplyDeleteThe hearings will fall when they are in accordance with
Sometimes Glee is Drama and another is Comedy... What a mess!
ReplyDeleteha ! I hope for the sake of the show that it's more than just the two of us !
ReplyDeleteme too
