-Percent Change from Year-Ago Evening – Thursday 2/16/12:
ABC: +12, CBS: + 2, NBC: no change, CW: -26, Fox: -47
----------
-Winners:
The Big Bang Theory (CBS), Two and a Half Men (CBS), American Idol (Fox), Person of Interest (CBS), Grey’s Anatomy (ABC), Scandal (ABC)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
Zero Hour (ABC), Community (NBC), Parks and Recreation (NBC), The Office (NBC), Glee (Fox), Beauty and the Beast (CW)
----------
-Ratings Breakdown:
It was another clean Thursday overnight sweep for CBS care of its combination of The Big Bang Theory (11.1 rating/18 share - #1 for the evening), Two and a Half Men (8.3/13), sophomore Person of Interest (9.1/15) and freshman Elementary (7.1/13), which dropped by 17 percent from The Mentalist on the year-ago evening (8.6/15 on 2/16/12). The recent post-Super Bowl airing has not benefited Elementary, which dipped from lead-in Person of Interest by 22 percent. Although veteran Two and a Half Men has certainly benefited out of red-hot The Big Bang Theory, CBS could…and should…find something new and promising next season to benefit from the stellar lead-in support.
In series premiere news, ABC drama Zero Hour, headlined by former ER star Anthony Edwards, opened with a modest (and distant third-place) 4.4/ 7 in the overnights at 8 p.m. Comparably, this was 32 percent below the debut of former time period occupant Last Resort (6.5/11 on 9/27/12). Given most new shows drop in the vicinity of 10 to 20 percent in week two, Zero Hour could end up in the ER. Stat!
Zero Hour led into long-running Grey’s Anatomy, which perked up to a second-place 6.3/10 from 9-10 p.m. (equal to the year-ago evening), followed by sophomore Scandal at a very compatible 6.0/10 at 10 p.m. (#2). Comparably, Scandal built from year-ago occupant Private Practice (5.5/ 9 on 2/16/12) by nine percent. The retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Grey’s Anatomy was 94 percent. And Scandal is poised for time period victory among adults 18-49. See you next season, Scandal!
Over at Fox, American Idol was on the map, finishing second overall from 8-9 p.m. with an 8.2/14. But, comparably this was down by 26 percent from the two-hour edition on the year-ago evening (11.1/17 on 2/16/12). Tired Glee followed with a third-place 3.6/ 6 at 9 p.m., which dropped by a considerable 58 percent from the 8:30 p.m. portion of American Idol (8.6/14). Yes…it is time for the musical gang from William McKinley High to graduate. And you too, Sue Sylvester!
Elsewhere, the overnights were abysmal on NBC with its combination of Community (#4: 2.1/ 3), Parks and Recreation (#4: 2.1/ 3), a one hour installment of soon-to-conclude The Office (#4: 2.8/ 4) and an encore of Law & Order: SVU (#3: 2.3/ 4), which is temporarily filling in for canceled Do No Harm. Click on the following for news of the new NBC drama to inherit the Thursday 10 p.m. hour: http://tinyurl.com/ccmpv4h. One week earlier, Community returned with a 2.5/ 4 in the overnights at 8 p.m.
The CW capped off the evening with The Vampire Diaries at a below-average 1.8/ 3 from 8-9 p.m. (-22 percent from the year-ago evening) and freshman Beauty and the Beast (#5: 1.1/ 2), which slipped by 21 percent from failed year-ago time period occupant The Secret Circle (1.4/ 2 on 2/16/12).
In late night, David Letterman on CBS ruled the 11:30 p.m.-12:30 a.m. time period, with a 2.8/ 8 in the overnights (3.1/ 8 to 2.4/ 7 by half hour: -3 percent from the year-ago evening). Next was Jay Leno on NBC and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC each at a 2.5/ 7 (3.0/ 7 to 2.0/ 6). Relocated Nightline on ABC scored a 1.6/ 5 in the 12:30 a.m. half-hour.
Craig Ferguson on CBS led the 12:30-1:30 a.m. daypart with a 1.4/ 5 (1.6/ 5 to 1.1/ 4: +8 percent), followed by Jimmy Fallon on NBC at a 1.3/ 4 (1.3/ 4 to 1.2/ 4: -7 percent). At 1:30 p.m., Carson Daly closed the night for the Peacock net with a 0.8/ 3.

Zero Hour flopped as expected. Excellent for BBT.
ReplyDeleteWay overdue for Gray's and Glee to go bye bye. Plus Idol for that matter.
ReplyDeleteThe "death timeslot" strikes again. Oh, Zero Hour!
ReplyDeleteWoo Scandal!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Scandal's rating still strong! I was worried it'd go down after last week's killing twist but it doesn't seem that way.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest keeps doing great! :D
ReplyDeleteLove that Person of Interest is still doing well.
ReplyDeleteIs this article suggesting Elementary get canned or MOVED to after TBBT?? Moving it to the TBBT post slot would give Elementary a much needed boost in season 2.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to watch it...I was really looking forward to see Dr Green again, I hope it doesn't get canceled...
ReplyDelete1.1 for Beauty and the Beast is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGlee isn't going anywhere, you so-called experts. It is still one of FOXs most succesful shows and if this doesn't convince you, think about syndication.
ReplyDeleteAnd on Valentine's Day too. How did ABC think this was a good idea?
ReplyDeleteno its not..
ReplyDeleteThat's not exactly what that means.....
ReplyDeleteouch TVD
ReplyDeletewow did scandal beat greys damn greys might be done
ReplyDeletedoubtful, greys will still end up the highest rated drama on ABC at the end of the season
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to TVD???
ReplyDeletesuch an awful night for every show apart from scandal! so happy for scandal!
ReplyDeleteUm did SPN actually beat TVD for viewers this week?
ReplyDeleteIt seems tht way.
ReplyDeleteBye Bye Beauty and the Beast. Poor Glee and Community :(
ReplyDeleteIt was TVD's best episode this season IMO. Too bad the ratings don't reflect that.
ReplyDeleteIm hoping so.
ReplyDeleteUgh, why won't people watch Community? That episode was outstanding!
ReplyDeleteI guess this was expected, it was Valentine's day, most of people don't stay home to watch TV.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that I'm not the only one who finds the current plot of TVD completely ridiculous?Interesting...
ReplyDeleteIn other news,Supernatural comes second this week! : )
Well if that holds, VD is #3 for the week. Which says CW picking up the spin off might be a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteTVD last night ep was pretty good...................
ReplyDeleteIt's one off week, nothing more than that IMO. If anything, the spin-off might actually reinvigorate the interest in the mothership show by attracting more eyeballs to the night. I think they will have a positive influence in each other, a la Arrow and Supernatural this year. Besides, TVD will still comfortably finish the season as first (I love Arrow as well, just going for facts here).
ReplyDeleteCan anyone please tell me why glee's numbers always get down if the season is going so great?
ReplyDeleteNeither. It is suggesting that CBS insert a promising new comedy after TBBT next season in order to take advantage of the huge lead-in. CBS will have some issues next year with HIMYM ending, ROE gone, TAHM (certainly last seson), etc. If they don't launch at least one successful new comedy, Mondays will be a complete wreck.
ReplyDeleteCool Person of Interest doing good. As usual The Big Bang Theory rocks!
ReplyDeleteI suspect that they were all out on dates. Personally, I was "supporting" Community as I told myself I would this season, but since I don't have a box, my viewership doesn't actually count anyway.
ReplyDeleteHopefully it was just because of Valentine's day. I'm no expert, but I would suspect that next week's will be somewhere between this week's and last's
ReplyDeleteBATB flopping hard, it's getting cancelled.
ReplyDeleteYes it did
ReplyDeletetvd has 2.31 on other site.......
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the most popular shows on the net, going by the cw standards not based on the nielsen tv ratings they might still give it a chance so we never know, ask Nikita :)
ReplyDeleteThat's not gonna cut it for a renewal. Two 0.5s, and it's only the first season. Even for CW standards, that's awful numbers. Plus they have the TVD lead-in, more retention was expected, not to mention the huge loss of viewers between episodes 1 and 3. As much as they say they take internet popularity into account, over the years you can obviously see that 18-49 numbers play the most part in renewals and cancellations.
ReplyDeleteAs for Nikita, it will be renewed because of syndication. BaTB would clearly fall to lower ratings if moved, and it isn't near syndication, so...
Yay Scandal!!!
ReplyDeletePoor Community and Parks & Rec, easily the 2 best comedies on the air right now. Hopefully this week was just low because of Valentine's day and they'll go back up to their norms next week.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers here are the early overnight numbers. You can see the final adjusted numbers here

Bryce. you think Troy`s bl0g is exceptional... on wednesday I got a

Beauty and the Beast has so much potential. Great story line with suspense and romance. Hope that CW will give it a second season. But of course it is up to the viewers.
