This table shows the early overnight ratings. These ratings are normally adjusted later in the day when all the ratings have been consolidated to take into account any local preemptions and/or overruns. You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)

———-
Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams.

And we take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.

-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas” (NBC)

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS topped the Tuesday household overnights, as expected, care of its drama combination of “NCIS” (#1 for the night: 10.6 rating/17 share), spin-off “NCIS: New Orleans” (#1: 8.6/13) and “Person of Interest” (#2: 5.8/10). But NBC will own the night in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demos) thanks to the fall season-finale of “The Voice,” which scored an 8.1/13 from 9-11 p.m. (peaking in the 10:30 p.m. half-hour at an 8.5/15). Comparably, this was just 10 percent below the 9.0/15 in the overnights for the year-ago season-ender (which translated into 14.01 million viewers and a 4.0 rating/11 share among adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data). The most recent spring finale of “The Voice” scored a 7.0/11 in the household overnights on May 20, 2014.
Earlier in the evening on NBC was animated holiday special “Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas” at a fourth-place 3.0/ 5 from 8-9 p.m.
The night’s other fall season-finale, “MasterChef Junior” at Fox, scored a third-place 3.7/ 6 from 8-9 p.m., which ended as a respectable replacement for failed former time period occupant “Utopia” earlier this fall. Note to Fox: you may want to order more episodes of “MasterChef Junior” in the future.
Next on Fox were encore telecasts of “New Girl” (#4: 1.4/ 2) and “The Mindy Project” (#4: 1.1/ 2) from 9-10 p.m.
Elsewhere, ABC populated the night with repeats of annual animated special “A Charlie Brown Christmas” (#2: 3.9/ 6 at 8 p.m.), animated half-hours “Disney Prep & Landing” (#3: 2.6/ 4) and “Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice” (#3: 2.1/ 3) from 9-10 p.m., and freshman drama “Forever” (#3: 2.2/ 4). And The CW aired encores of “The Flash” (#5: 1.3/ 2) and “Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show” (#5: 1.0/ 2), which debuted on corporate cousin CBS last Tuesday. ‘Tis the season for repeats!

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 (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
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.
If you’re interested in Ratings/Renewals/Cancellations then we have a number of resources here at SpoilerTV that we recommend you check out.
NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans are up from November 26. Person of Interest dipped a tenth.
ReplyDeleteIf PoI gets a 1.6 in the demo, I would be completely happy with that after a 3 week break.
ReplyDeleteCW is really dumb for not airing The100 or something else after The Flash. No Victoria Secret.
ReplyDeleteAnd they get everybody back on +7days... More than 20 milion viewers every week and demo 3.8 for average... People are recording...
ReplyDeleteTop 25 Numbers are now in the table
ReplyDeleteTop 25 - 1.3 for Person of Interest looks like business as usual. I hope this translates to (at least ;) ) 1.6. Stable ratings are enough for me
ReplyDeletePaging January. Please get here immediately.
ReplyDelete1.6 would be nice for POI.
ReplyDeleteCBS shows, the countryside shows.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice's shelf life going down, down down.
Except for Scorpion, which I find surprising. it usually nudges down .1 or .2 from top 25. NCIS NO always goes up a ton!
ReplyDeleteIf the Voice stays at a 3.3 that's the sake rating it's Spring finale got, so even though this season has been rough at least it's ending on an up note.
ReplyDeleteThey hardly ever stay at Top 25, Anything above a 3 is still good, but TV is far from the monster it was
ReplyDeleteOh, Forever's reruns do better than Murder's.
ReplyDeleteOuch CBS
ReplyDeleteForever is a procedural, Murder is serialized
ReplyDeleteForever= procedural
ReplyDeleteHTGAWM= serialized
they tend to go up from TOP 25
ReplyDeleteJanuary pls come fast. I Need my shows back on. I have to wait until March for OUAT. Way too long. At least TGIT returns in January and revenge on january 4th
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean?
ReplyDeleteYour much beloved Good Wife is an expection. I've seen it get a 1.7 in top 25 and CSI a 1.1 and they both ended up at a 1.4.
ReplyDeleteProcedural is a genre of programs in which a problem is introduced, investigated and solved all within the same episode.- NCIS, Law and Order, Castle, Forever- usually all cop dramas- you can miss an eps and still watch the current eps
ReplyDeleteSerialized- you really can't miss an eps-plot unfold eps by eps
Quite high for Junior Masterchef.
ReplyDeleteElf seemingly did terrible. It was a bad idea to begin with
ReplyDeleteOh ok, thanks for explaining!
ReplyDeleteI now understand why it does better than Murder... :)
That's funny.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice looks much better now that it is back to 3s, but that's just because the finale. I think The Voice can still launch shows, but it is running out of steam
ReplyDeleteRatings are now in the table
ReplyDeleteSeries low for NCIS: NO?
ReplyDeleteI knew that 3 week break would kill PoI.
ReplyDeleteOh god, what happened? Previous episode of POI had "ok" ratings and now it's falling so hard? Is it the weird schedule (3 weeks off, then on before winter break?)?
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hope it recovers next week. :/
POI - Argh!!! And this comes when the show is at its peak in terms of story lines and mythology.
ReplyDeleteBy next week you meant Jan 6, right?
ReplyDeleteYep, one tenth below its previous low.
ReplyDeleteI agree this was very weird scheduling but The Voice finale likely had something to do with it as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice is only a tenth below last cycles finale and it'll probably adjust up.
ReplyDeleteGreat ending to a terrible season.
Does seem a very strange scheduling choice.
ReplyDeleteThe good news for PoI is that all of CBS's lineup took huge dips last night so it is not just contained to one show.
ReplyDeleteA 1.3 on NBC isn't that bad.
ReplyDeleteYes, of course. I wanted to write next episode :)
ReplyDeleteVery true
ReplyDeleteAh! That's a small consolation.
ReplyDeleteIt did not. NCIS LA and PoI went up against the DWTS finale and did about the same. I think people thought the episodes 3 weeks ago were midseason finales and did not watch.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened when the State of the Union address happened or whatever preempted the November 4 week. All 3 shows fell at least 3 tenths that week.
Yikes at POI and New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteThe Voice isn't a powerhouse again, still barely down y2y for the finale.
Keep in mind spring is usually lower while fall is supposed to be higher
ReplyDeleteOuch POI
ReplyDeleteAt least it's something, thanks for pointing it out :)
ReplyDeleteThe Voice has bigger ratings than DWTS. But I agree that it was very weird scheduling from CBS.
ReplyDeleteYes thank you :)

POI dropped because it was against The Voice this week. It will go back up the next episode.
ReplyDeleteIt's not on next week ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I wrote the next episode :)
ReplyDeleteah lol. I need another coffee ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Voice is fading. Too many continous cycles.
ReplyDeleteThat's a big drop for POI in half hours. Also, NOLA dropped in audience but ticked up a tenth in the demo. People suddenly became younger lol.
ReplyDeleteI agree two in a year would be too much. When is the next cycle starting, like February?
ReplyDeleteI hope CBS does not do this again next year with the Tuesday shows. It kills the momentum of any show.
ReplyDeleteFYI, PoI increased 4/5 times in the demo from the previous episode before this happened.
yes, and it was good at first now it's just boring
ReplyDeletePOI dropped while The Voice announced a winner, most likely
ReplyDeleteBut for a special with Jim Parsons based on a beloved Christmas movie on right before The Voice's finale?
ReplyDeleteTrue. Honestly I don't even know how much it was promoted since I haven't been watching TV live. I only heard about the special via YouTube lol
ReplyDeleteIt pisses me off man, person of interest in terms of writing, story lines, acting, is amazing right now. last nights episode had almost no action sequences and still was epic. most critics will even tell you the show is at its top form right now, these ratings are fucking stupid. the ratings started to go up a bit before that stupid break. i put this more on cbs then anything.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest. Otherwise agreed.
ReplyDelete
