    So can we assume that since all three pf the shows listed under lowest rated renewed shows are from the cw and that since hart and beauty have been neck and neck in the ratings this year but beauty was listed and not Hart, that hart of Dixie in the end rated higher in average than beauty, making it the fourth most watched show???? Hmmmmmm

    Hart of Dixie scored a 0.8.

  5. Winston Mize24 May 2013 at 20:55

    Thank you. I know for the longest I've seen comments about them being tied for fourth on the network. It's good to have some sort of definitive answer.

    Hart of dixie highest rating this season was a 0.7 once

    got cancelled...yeah.

  8. Babar Suhail24 May 2013 at 21:58

    I am taking about the average ratings for the season.

  9. Babar Suhail24 May 2013 at 21:58

    Please, shut up.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Winston Mize24 May 2013 at 22:13

    Yeah I think these average rankings include DVR playback, in which Dixie was getting between .8-1.0 in live+7. Thus the .8(HoD) to the .7(BatB)

  11. Winston Mize24 May 2013 at 22:13

    Is there a way we could have/find arrows, supernaturals and vampire diaries season averages including dvr?

    ReplyDelete
  12. tvmonkey24 May 2013 at 22:31

    are the demo numbers the season averages?

    ReplyDelete
  13. tvmonkey24 May 2013 at 22:32

    I didnt watch it or have any interest in it but I followed the ratings and ABC should have renewed it even if they just kept it as back up.

  14. tvmonkey24 May 2013 at 22:34

    Go On fell like a brick after a promising start, in the end the ratings were awful

    ReplyDelete
  15. tvmonkey24 May 2013 at 22:38

    I think Beauty was actually slightly higher in average demo than HOD

    ReplyDelete
  16. tvmonkey24 May 2013 at 22:39

    It did not hit a 0.8 once this season, its highest rating was the season premier 0.7 which it then did not hit again all season

    ReplyDelete
  17. Babar Suhail24 May 2013 at 22:40

    Yes.

    ReplyDelete
  18. tvmonkey24 May 2013 at 22:41

    season averages for Live viewing- Beauty 0.6 and HOD 0.5
    TVBTN will release the acurate numbers later this summer

    ReplyDelete
  19. Babar Suhail24 May 2013 at 22:41

    It dropped to a 1.5 with a Modern Family repeat as a lead-in, which was enough for its cancellation.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Winston Mize24 May 2013 at 23:00

    Again this is with dvr playback factored. Beauty does not do as well in dvr.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Winston Mize24 May 2013 at 23:02

    I was looking of the average with dvr for the aforementioned shows as of this time. The source article on deadline has it.

  22. wanderer0325 May 2013 at 00:25

    The Big Bang Theory is a ratings monster according to those numbers!

    ReplyDelete
  23. CrimTV25 May 2013 at 00:28

    but it also scored a 2.0 without the Modern Family lead-in, it had potential. Stupid ABC for cancelling the highest rated new comedy.

  24. spartigus1525 May 2013 at 02:18

    Greys Anatomy and NCIS well into season 9 and 10 and still dominating!!! hell yea!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ronald Garcia25 May 2013 at 06:52

    it had potential is a new series it`s not expecting to manage to get 2.0 on it`s own so soon and still this past 2 weeks has managed to get that, stupid ABC ¬¬

  26. Alex Forrest25 May 2013 at 09:02

    Well, at least Nikita stands out in some regard... :-)

  27. Canadagraphs26 May 2013 at 23:10

    Solid work CW.
    More people have accidentally watched some of the shows listed than purposely watched Nikita lol.

    Person of interest had more viewership than all shows except the big bang theory .how come gray's and NCIS top it?
    That's just not fair

  30. Compass_129 May 2013 at 14:30

    This chart includes DVR+7 data + reruns data for all shows.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Compass_129 May 2013 at 14:31

    They include DVR and reruns. Had only DVR was included without reruns, all shows would've scored better.

    ReplyDelete
  32. stormqueen29 May 2013 at 14:32

    How does it bring OUAT up that much then. Even with DVR+7, they were only barely reaching 3.0s for the majority of episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Compass_129 May 2013 at 14:49

    That's not correct. Once started this season with over 4.5 DVR+7 and its live+SD ratings fell below 3.0 only in late January.
    Even in January\February it had close to 4.0 DVR+7.
    It also had only 3 re-runs this entire year.
    Factor all these results and 3.6 is the right average.

    Also, that's not TVLine's list.. it's everyone's list and the full list is also available for several days now:

  34. stormqueen29 May 2013 at 14:52

    The list is clearly TVLine's because Deadline isn't dividing them out at all, just placing the numbers. So Once is more like 5th.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Compass_129 May 2013 at 14:59

    All lists show Once with 3.6

    ReplyDelete
  36. stormqueen29 May 2013 at 15:01

    Oh dear. Yes, I can see that. However, Tvline's is the only list that is attempting to put Once Upon a Time in the top 3.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Compass_129 May 2013 at 18:56

    I don't really care about their list. The point is they reported the right demos for all shows they listed, including Once.

    ReplyDelete
  38. stormqueen29 May 2013 at 18:58

    I care more about them distorting it so a show they pimp looks like it has done better than it actually has.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Compass_129 May 2013 at 19:46

    I know those lists from previous seasons and if you check Deadline's, it includes the number of airings such as 25 for Once and 29 for Arrow when the didn't have as many episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  40. stormqueen29 May 2013 at 19:49

    Once Upon a Time aired many more than 3 reruns though.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Compass_129 May 2013 at 21:11

    They only aired 3 re-runs during this year, 2 of them were a couple of months ago, and I think the special was listed as a special and thus wasn't counted.

    ReplyDelete
  42. stormqueen29 May 2013 at 21:48

    Reruns aired this year on January 6th, January 27th, March 2nd, March 9th, March 31st and April 7th.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Compass_129 May 2013 at 22:45

    March 2nd and 9th are Saturdays. The average of 3.6 is only for airings on Sundays. The Saturdays average have their own category and because of this you'll find shows appearing more than once in the full list.

    January 6th had a new episode, "The Cricket Game", and didn't have a rerun.

    Thus we have exactly 3 reruns - Jan 27th, March 31st, and April 7th. All counted and factored into this average.

    I like how this conversation is an example of why these ratings are so meaningless.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Compass_130 May 2013 at 14:48

    Why did you care so much about Once's ratings in the first place then if you found them meaningless?

    ReplyDelete
  46. stormqueen30 May 2013 at 15:10

    ... Huh?

    Those are two separate thoughts, you realize.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Compass_130 May 2013 at 15:19

    No, I don't. The way I see it, 3.6 is as real ratings as the ones you see on a daily basis, since the real ratings are ones we don't see and they are C+3 (how many people saw a certain episode in the last 3 days without skipping its commercials.)

    ReplyDelete
  48. stormqueen30 May 2013 at 15:25

    What does that have to do with these ratings being archaic?

    ReplyDelete
  49. stormqueen8 April 2014 at 05:33

    They can't be. Once Upon a Time is listed at 3.6. And it only hit that high once, with the majority of the season in the low 2s.
