Today's Early Overnight Ratings

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)

Tables being updated live. Please refresh for updates.


Early Ratings Analysis

The analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later. (See the About section below)

For more information on the Nielsen Ratings see this Wikipedia Entry.

NOTE: The opinions expressed here are NOT those of SpoilerTV but of the Author of this Article, Marc Berman.

Super Bowl XLIX metered market (overnight) rating highlights according to NBC Sports:

-The Patriots’ 28-24 win over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX on NBC delivered the highest overnight rating in Super Bowl history, with 49.7 rating/72 share in households.
-NBC’s Super Bowl XLIX overnight topped a 50 rating in each half hour from 8 p.m. ET forward (peaking at a 52.9/73 from 10-10:15 p.m. ET).
-Comparably, NBC’s Super Bowl XLIX overnight is up by four percent from last year (47.6/70), and up by three percent from the prior record (48.1/71 for Ravens-49ers in Feb. 2013)

Lead-Out “The Blacklist”

-NBC’s special post-Super Bowl telecast of “The Blacklist” averaged a record 13.5 rating/24 share in metered-market households, making it the top-rated post-Super Bowl entertainment telecast in three years.
-Comparably, this 13.5 overnight rating makes “The Blacklist” the top primetime entertainment telecast since the Oscars (27.7/42 on March 2, 2014) in the metered-market households.
-“The Blacklist” was nine percent above the year-ago post-Super Bowl edition of “The New Girl” on Fox (12.4/21 on Feb. 2, 2014).
-Versus two years ago, “The Blacklist” is up +13 percent, with the 13.5 rating topping a 12.0 for CBS’s “Elementary” on Feb. 3, 2013.
-The last post-Super Bowl entertainment telecast to rate higher was NBC’s Feb. 5, 2012 edition of “The Voice” (which scored a 20.0/30).

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 (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 are new to ratings or still confused, we recommend you read this excellent
Ratings FAQ.

    If it weren't for the long post show it would have done higher

    Comparison for Elementary isn't quite apples-to-apples - Elementary was started at 11:15 ET due to the 30+ minute power outage in New Orleans.

  5. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:06

    Great for the Blackist. It looks like a success, bur skew is a big factor here. It's *very* hard to skew old post Superbowl. I think Criminal Mind's like 46% is the oldest one we have on record. I think The Blacklist probably skewed older than New Girl, but younger than Elementary

    ReplyDelete
  6. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:07

    And the Voice isn't either, it started an hour before Elementary and a half hour befor the Blacklist. All lead outs have high variables.

    ReplyDelete
  7. denverdean2 February 2015 at 15:08

    When you compare TBL to TV as NBC does, it's quite disappointment 20 > 13.5 (that's a huge difference).

    ReplyDelete
  8. ZenithTim2 February 2015 at 15:11

    The postgame show was long (30 minutes), so its start was pretty late.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:11

    The Blacklist only started sensibly 12 minutes later than Grey's Anatomy.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:11

    Yes. It started much earlier. It's also a thousand times more family friendly. I don't think its disappointing at all. The Voice had one of the best post Superbowl showings in the last 10 years.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:13

    I hope so too. After the conclusion, they have 12 episodes left. That's enough for a whole miniseason worth of stuff

    ReplyDelete
  12. bjssp2 February 2015 at 15:14

    If you go back and look at historical viewership for post-Superbowl shows, it was never THAT huge. (Assuming Wikipedia is correct, of course.) TV was definitely towards the upper end, especially in more recent times.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It depends on what fails2 February 2015 at 15:17

    Any viewership prediction for Blacklist?


    The post-game was a bit longer, a close game helped the show, that's for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:18

    Probably around 12.0.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Max Conte2 February 2015 at 15:18

    The real test will be seeing how many people actually keep tuning in during regular episodes. In recent years shows don't seem to be getting much of a benefit at all..

    ReplyDelete
  16. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:26

    That's entirely debatable.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:26

    Actually, House tied the Tuesday edition of American Idol but not the Wednesday edition (14.4).
    Also, it's not that impressive, given how low American Idol is.

    ReplyDelete
  18. omabin2 February 2015 at 15:27

    It appears the blacklist has done well, though as always I am very wary of using the HH numbers for that.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Bluebomb2 February 2015 at 15:27

    I agree. The Blacklist is really coming into its own with its 2nd season. Very good episode. I just hope that the 2nd half sets us up for the rest of the season.

    This is the METERED markets rating,so the final will lower.

  23. ZenithTim2 February 2015 at 15:27

    Right, but the postgame when Grey's aired was a mere 15 minutes, hence the higher retention for Grey's.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:27

    Crazy fact about House's post Superbowl episode: It didn't even beat the 2 American Idols that week! The Blacklist only needs a 2.8 to pull that off!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Alex S2 February 2015 at 15:27

    No worries it will likely settle in mid 2s which would be the highest NBC had in that slot

    ReplyDelete
  26. Alex S2 February 2015 at 15:27

    So around 28-30 million ?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:28

    Speaking of the Blacklist episode itself: It was one of the best the show has ever done. Great, self contained, episode that anyone could just jump into. It was much more a thriller than a procedural that episode, which was great. I don't think the Post Game was historically *that* long, but it felt like it. I kept thinking, "Yes, Bob Costas, the Patriots did great, but the fate of NBC Thursdays is here. Play the damn show!"

    ReplyDelete
  28. XYZ2 February 2015 at 15:28

    Great for The Blacklist. And the first part sets up the second part perfectly on Thursday.

    ReplyDelete
  29. It depends on what fails2 February 2015 at 15:28

    If not the best, the only two comparable are Grey's and Undercover Boss.


    Blacklist looks like it performed similar to House.

  30. Ben2 February 2015 at 15:28

    Top 5 Total Viewers

    NCIS (R)
    Superbowl XLIX
    The Simpsons (R)
    Funniest Home Videos (R)

    Is that correct that a repeat show beat the Superbowl in viewers?

    ReplyDelete
  31. It depends on what fails2 February 2015 at 15:28

    Of course not, STV doesn't have the viewers for now so they are using a random order as usual.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Alex S2 February 2015 at 15:28

    I thought TBL would come close to Greys record

    ReplyDelete
  33. Patrick Ausgewahlt2 February 2015 at 15:28

    All they need to be successful is to have everyone watching on Monday show up on Thursday. If all this did was make sure all fans knew it was back, then it is a success

    ReplyDelete
  34. ZenithTim2 February 2015 at 15:41

    Are you sarcastic?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Bluebomb2 February 2015 at 15:41

    It's not a random order. They just auto list the 8 PM shows as the top 5 shows in viewership and demo until they get the actual demo/viewership list for the day.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Compass_12 February 2015 at 15:42

    I hope The Blacklist does well on Thursday..

    ReplyDelete
  37. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:43

    It will likely do around Monday's lowest numbers or slightly below that.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:47

    No, I wasn't speaking on Thursday's premiere night. For premiere night, I can see mid 3's happening.


    The lowest numbers on Monday or slightly below that is what The Blacklist will eventually settle in. So, 2.0-2.5.

    ReplyDelete
  39. TARTA2 February 2015 at 15:47

    Why do you think that?Because it's against Scandal?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Daniel2 February 2015 at 15:47

    More likely around 2.5. I think it will settle in the low 2s. But I agree, this week it might do pretty good.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Max Conte2 February 2015 at 15:50

    Have any shows the past decade or so really seen benefits? I feel like Grey's was the last major post-Superbowl event that really surged going forward.

    ReplyDelete
  42. ZenithTim2 February 2015 at 15:51

    The episode was pretty expository tho, some new viewers should return at least for the conclusion of last night's episode.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Daniel2 February 2015 at 15:53

    I think this Thursday it might do well because it is the conclusion to the two-parter, but after that ratings will probably get back to normal.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Andrew432 February 2015 at 15:54

    This is the most likely case-scenario.

    You're lying right? The Voice got a 16.something

  56. Pablo Troncoso2 February 2015 at 16:12

    The Blacklist did quite well, and those numers may be even higher (last year NG pulled a 7.8 at this time and then adjusted up to 11.4)
    Now the real test is Thursdays: TBL vs Scandal will be interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Andrew432 February 2015 at 16:17

    What I think omabin means is that The Blacklist might not adjust up all that much come finals

    ReplyDelete
  61. ToniL2 February 2015 at 16:21

    Especially if it starts early and starts strong. They'll want to keep the momentum. If it's mid-season, they could promote the crap out of it and air the premiere behind the SB.

    ReplyDelete
  62. omabin2 February 2015 at 16:21

    I meant to imply that the blacklist will probably go up even more. This is already a good result but should be even higher. Sorry, i get lazy when typing on the phone

    ReplyDelete
  63. It depends on what fails2 February 2015 at 16:24

    Wow, just wow.


    And that doesn't even include the best coast.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Pablo Troncoso2 February 2015 at 16:24

    I think so too. Last year New Girl got up from a 7.8 to a 11.4. Should the same increase happen this time, The Blacklist would score a 14.8!!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Pablo Troncoso2 February 2015 at 16:25

    I would even consider it premiering it out of the Superbowl; that would give it a massive following from the start

    ReplyDelete
  66. Pablo Troncoso2 February 2015 at 16:25

    Should it increase like New Girl last year, we are looking at a 14.8

    11.4 in demo w/ 27 million

    Good enough to be the 4th best of the last ten years.

    If Supergirl shows up during next season and not mid-season, I'd really consider putting an episode after SB if I were CBS. That would be a smart idea for a freshman series.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Andrew432 February 2015 at 16:27

    No, because it's unlikely to benefit from Super Bowl long term.

    ReplyDelete
  84. ZenithTim2 February 2015 at 16:27

    So around a 2.7? I think this week it should crack a 3.0 due to the 'To Be Continued' from last night.

  85. Ron2 February 2015 at 16:27

    How many of those extra million viewers will stay for this week episode?.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Babar Suhail2 February 2015 at 16:27

    That looks promising for The Blacklist but I highly doubt that any of the news viewers will be returning on Thursdays. The show is quite serialized and the fulcrum and the fire would not be really understandable to the new viewers.

    ReplyDelete
  87. omabin2 February 2015 at 16:27

    Those numbers appear to be very high for the blacklist. New girl had major adjustments last year for instance and it started earlier.

    ReplyDelete
  88. ToniL2 February 2015 at 16:27

    I love the Super Bowl. The game, the commercials, halftime, ratings. Super Bowl Sunday is like Christmas for me.
    CBS carries the SB next year and I'm already wondering what show they'll air behind it.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Andrew432 February 2015 at 16:27

    You could argue that Undercover Boss was the last scripted show to get a boost from Super Bowl.
    On the unscripted side, The Voice has also benefitted greatly from it.

    It would be the biggest since The Voice. And if we are talking only scripted shows, maybe it will be the highest since Grey's Anatomy

  93. omabin2 February 2015 at 16:29

    I remember new girl having a big adjustment but i didnt remember it being so big, that is crazy then. I am not shre if the ame dynamics are at playbhere, especially since new girl was on for 30 minutes and blacklist for 60 but still!

    The Blacklist may end being the biggest scripted show following the SB since Grey's Anatomy.

  100. Alyson2 February 2015 at 17:30

    I don't know if you noticed, but NCIS does not usually air repeats against the Superbowl. I'm as loyal as they come watching NCIS and generally choose to watch the rerun against regular programming. Even I watched The Superbowl, which most definitely is not regular programming.

    ReplyDelete
  101. denverdean2 February 2015 at 17:41

    It's not even close to being most watched post-SuperBowl program. NBC release is confusing most watched in three years (meaning most watched over CBS - Elementary (delayed to 1115) FOX (NG/B99) post-game series).
