Ratings Breakdown:
The San Francisco 49ers at the Denver Broncos on “Sunday Night Football” led NBC to another overnight Sunday victory, with an estimated 14.9 rating/24 share in households from 8:30-11:30 p.m. ET (peaking in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour at a 17.0/25). Last Sunday, an 11.3/18 in the overnights for the New York Giants at the Philadelphia Eagles translated into 18.09 million viewers and a 6.6 rating/18 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data). So, you can expect in the vicinity of about 24 million viewers for this match-up.

Earlier in the evening on NBC was pre-game “Football Night in America” at a 1.6/ 3 at 7 p.m. (#4), a 4.4/ 7 at 7:30 p.m. (#3) and a 9.6/16 at 8 p.m. (#1). As a reminder, results for any live sporting event are always approximate.

Fox also received a boost care of football with a primetime overrun at an estimated 16.6/28 in the overnights in the 7 p.m. half-hour, followed by post-game “The OT” at a dominant 9.1/15 at 7:30 p.m. Next was the annual “Treehouse of Horror” edition of granddaddy “The Simpsons”at a 5.2/ 8 at 8 p.m. (#3), which was 11 percent above the 4.7/ 7 one week earlier (and that translated into a 3.3/ 9 among adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data).

At 8:30 p.m., Fox’s relocated “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” slipped to a fourth-place 3.3/ 5, which was 36 percent below “The Simpsons,” followed by young adult-magnet “Family Guy” at a 3.1/ 5 (#4) at 9 p.m. Regardless of the considerable slippage, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” was still 22 percent above the 2.7/ 4 it scored in the overnights one year earlier in the Tuesday 8:30 p.m. half-hour (on 10/22/13).

Recently introduced “Mulaney,” which just had its episode order slashed from 16 to 13 half-hours, closed the night for Fox with a subpar 1.6/ 2 (#4), which was 48 percent below lead-in “Family Guy.”

Over at CBS, the network was flat from one week earlier with its older-skewing line-up of “60 Minutes” (#2: 8.3/13), episode five of politically-themed drama “Madam Secretary” (#2: 8.3/12), critically acclaimed “The Good Wife” (#2: 7.6/11) and veteran “CSI” (#2: 5.6/ 9), which will be taking a break in midseason for upcoming spin-off “CSI: Cyber.” Although this overnight average only translated into a 1.3/ 4 for the night last week among adults 18-49, the average total viewer base should be in the vicinity of a very respectable 10-million. And opposite “Sunday Night Football” on NBC consider this a definite positive.

Last, and very least, was ABC’s line-up of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” (#3: 3.1/ 5), “Once Upon a Time” (#4: 4.7/ 7), sophomore “Resurrection” #3: 3.4/ 5), which dipped to a series-low, and tired “Revenge” (#3: 3.8/ 6). Given the recent track record for “Once Upon a Time,” expect in the vicinity of a 2.6 rating among adults 18-49. But the 9-11 p.m. block on ABC will lose considerable steam.

About the Daily 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.

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.

  1. OUAT seems to be very steady.

    ReplyDelete
  2. Revenge above Resurrection? Yup Resurrection is gone.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I hope Madam Secretary rises in the demo.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Crossing my fingers for revenge. Even if it's just a 1.3 I would take any increase

    ReplyDelete
  5. If revenge is above resurrection then it's definitely done

    ReplyDelete
  6. its not getting a 3rd season with these #s

    ReplyDelete
  7. Don't tell me that. I love that show :( It's Revolution all over again !

    ReplyDelete
  8. the pace is slow which I think is the problem

    ReplyDelete
  9. Revenge looks like it rose. But I could be wrong the hh is never accurate it might've even dipped to a 1.1. Hope I'm wrong though

    ReplyDelete
  10. It is up from last week (3.8 vs 3.7), so chances are that it rose

    ReplyDelete
  11. OUAT still doing good. Every episode this season has been above its season high last year so that's good. Resurrection is not out just yet but it has a lot of bad things going for it. The show is going really slow story wise, the competition is hurting it especially Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire and I don't think anybody that watches OUAT watches Red anymore. As long as it can stay above a 1.3 it should be fine I hope. I really hope Revenge beats Red though that would be funny.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't know - Resurrection will need way more than 4 seasons for syndication & (if American Crime performs well than its gone)

    ReplyDelete
  13. The week before that it got a 3.4 but and ended up getting a 1.3 and last week just as we thought it rose with 3.7 it ended up getting a 1.2 and not to mention a series's low in viewers. I don't know it might've dropped again

    ReplyDelete
  14. I agree. Like Revolution I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

    ReplyDelete
  15. HH are not a great indicator, we just have to see

    ReplyDelete
  16. Resurrection looks dead. If the demo falls from last week, yikes!
    Looks like Revenge rose, but we'll have to wait a bit to know

    ReplyDelete
  17. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)20 October 2014 at 14:45

    When I saw OUAT in honourable mentions I thought it had dropped again, steady and well above cancellation level is a win in my book :)

    Hook being a tool was a major downer in the episode though, but everything else was amazing so it made up for it!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Considering it has only 24 episodes at the end of this season the show is essentially a freshman show, so I don't think ABC will cut it some slack if it underperforms

    ReplyDelete
  19. If it keeps up these numbers and abc ends up renewing then their going to have to deal with these numbers for a couple more years

    ReplyDelete
  20. Could happen, but rising on HH is better than dipping. It could go either way, but it looks like it has better chances to rise than fall

    ReplyDelete
  21. One could argue that slow paced shows have a right to exist as well but I agree, there are barely any shows out there that move at snail speed the way Ressurection does

    ReplyDelete
  22. I hope that the boost getting by B99 will carry on. This show deserves a larger audience.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I hope your right. Though we all know how unpredictable revenge is with its ratings

    ReplyDelete
  24. A fifth season is a sure thing.

    ReplyDelete
  25. even a 6th imo is a sure thing

    ReplyDelete
  26. At least OUAT is steady.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Well, that depends on the actors too.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Let's hope OUAT has enough stories in line so they can get more seasons than LOST.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)20 October 2014 at 14:50

    I agree, I think it's safe for 6 as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)20 October 2014 at 14:51

    I can't see the actors wanting to stop, none of them have shown any interest in leaving

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hopefully it gets 7 ( which is pretty great for serialized dramas in this day of television)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Is not a good thing that Revenge is getting more viewers than Ressurrection... so this last one is almost gone. It's a pitty cos it was a show with a big potential...

    ReplyDelete
  33. true it had huge potential with an interesting premise

    ReplyDelete
  34. My Predictions for Sunday Nights:

    OUAT-will be renewed

    Resurrection- cancelled

    Revenge- Toss up

    Madam Sec- Toss up if numbers go below a 1.4ish I can see it being canned

    Good Wife- renewed for final season

    CSI- if spinoff can improve number, I can possibly see them cutting CSI or at least a final season

    The Sim- Renewed

    B99- Renewed

    Family Guy- Renewed

    Mualney- Canceled

    ReplyDelete
  35. Not yet, but maybe in 2016 or 2017.

    ReplyDelete
  36. How do u know that revenge has more viewers then resurrection

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well, I'm not 100% sure, but it did better, so I assume it lol

    ReplyDelete
  38. Fans have been asking for Tiana to appear, maybe they'll do that for season 5.

    ReplyDelete
  39. its a pity cause it's premise seemed so interesting, but what ticked viewers of is how slow paced it is. Nowadays people are just so impatient and prefer fast paced shows. If this was the 80s then it probably wouldn't drop as much. Because around that time most shows were slow paced

    ReplyDelete
  40. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)20 October 2014 at 15:08

    I'm hoping for at least 8 seasons. There's so much there for them to work with I think they could easily get 8 seasons or more, plus I really love the show and I'm not ready for it to end :P

    ReplyDelete
  41. Same about revenge.I gave up On OUAT after issues I had with season 3 and it being turned into frozen the series when I know nothing about frozen but I continue to watch Revenge.Revenge Is my ABC lineup like Simpsons and Gotham are my fox lineup.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Madam Secretary has the same top 25 rating as last week. Hoping it remains steady or even rises.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Once and revenge both up in top markets let's hope it holds

    ReplyDelete
  44. Banged by Corey Stoll20 October 2014 at 15:38

    That 1.2 is too low for CSI, damn.

    ReplyDelete
  45. It's in cbs death slot

    ReplyDelete
  46. Débora Candido20 October 2014 at 15:39

    Guys, I have a question and it's not related to this especific ratings: Which shows have their episodes

    exhibited on Canada first before it airs on U.S?

    ReplyDelete
  47. I don't think any shows this year are airing first in Canada. I know in the past Castle did and BATB. But I'm not aware of any this season.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Wow, Once is high. I'd love for it to regain it's numbers.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Resurrection has lost so many audience and the HH being lower than Revenge. I'm surprised tbh and it's only it's second season.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Reign,TBBT,Chicago PD

    ReplyDelete
  51. Wow, 2.9 for OUAT! Can't wait for the winter finale!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Patrick Ausgewahlt20 October 2014 at 15:58

    Last week it had a 1.1 in top 25 markets and was actually a 1.4 in finals. Just shows CSI is more popular outside of the big cities

    ReplyDelete
  53. Reign, The Goldbergs, Forever, and from next week Grey's Anatomy.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wow i hope the Top 25 Market Ratings stay the same.!
    Especially good for Revenge to be up!

    And wow at Brooklyn Nine-Nine... i seriously thought it would crush on sunday... This most be Foxs best move this season

    ReplyDelete
  55. OUAT probably broke a 3.0 which is amazing for the show. Resurrection appears to be even with last week so it could be worse.

    ReplyDelete
  56. TBBT on monday at 7:30 CTV
    Reign on Wednesday on M3
    Chicago PD on wednesday at 9 Global

    ReplyDelete
  57. Random question, does anyone know how many episodes About a Boy has this season? And yay Brooklyn Nine Nine!

    ReplyDelete
  58. revenge looks like its up from last week

    ReplyDelete
  59. And Castle i believe?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Castle airs 3 hours before in Canada than in the US.

    ReplyDelete
  61. How can you even compare OUaT to LOST?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Banged by Corey Stoll20 October 2014 at 16:09

    It should be a 22 eps run for AAB S2.

    ReplyDelete
  63. AHV 1.1
    Ressurection 1.4

    ReplyDelete
  64. Glad for OUAT, meh for Resurrection :'( (lol) for Revenge......
    What's AHV?

    ReplyDelete
  65. America's Funniest Home Videos

    ReplyDelete
  66. Fionn (was Teen Wolfers)20 October 2014 at 16:21

    Awesome for OUAT, hopefully it'll get adjusted up as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. OUAT did a 2.7. Will probably adjust up to a 2.8. Which is still excellent for the show.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Glad to see revenge holding up

    ReplyDelete
  69. Revenge will beat Resurrection next week !

    ReplyDelete
  70. Yeah Brooklyn Nine Nine!!! It's doing great this season!

    ReplyDelete
  71. OUAT is holding out great numbers!
    Revenge is steady and thankfully up from last week. Resurrection looks very ugly.


    Very happy to see B99 doing great! I know it's because of The Simpsons, but still!
    I expect Bob Burgers to get the post Family Guy spot very soon

    ReplyDelete
  72. OUAT is a winner !
    Resurrection is done and I even wonder if it's going to stay at 9 on Sunday with such low ratings.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Considering how Resurrection is faring, it wouldn't surprise me

    ReplyDelete
  74. How was Revenge?
    I've got OUAT, Revenge, Resurrection and The Walking Dead and I don't know whether to start with Revenge or TWD....

    ReplyDelete
  75. Nice! OUAT is steady from last week. Also, Revenge and The Good Wife are up a tenth! I'm happy :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. It finishes in January so it will run all of its eps

    ReplyDelete
  77. OUAT was excrushingtly boring IMO, so maybe I'd start with it to get it out of the way. Revenge was pretty good though. I haven't watched Resurrection yet and I dropped TWD on season 2, so can't help you there

    ReplyDelete
  78. Revenge had the best episode out of the whole Sunday lineup. Revenge for sure deserved ouats 2.7 that's how good it was

    ReplyDelete
  79. Best episode of the season for Revenge
