    Ratings Breakdown:
    Note: The latest Republican Presidential Debate aired on CNN from 8:30-11 p.m. ET.

    Soon-to-conclude “American Idol” on Fox topped this second Thursday in March, with a 5.6 rating/9 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m. Comparably, this was eight percent below the 6.1/10 one year earlier.

    “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS dominated the night, of course with a 9.6/16 in the 8 p.m. half-hour. And that led into a typical 5.5/ 9 (#3) for just renewed “Life and Pieces” at 8:30 p.m., which slipped by 43 percent. As I always say, erosion of over 30 percent for the lead-out show from any series is always a concern.

    Next on the eye net was “Mom” at a typical 5.1/ 8 (#2) at 9 p.m. into “2 Broke Girls” (#3: 4.2/ 7) and “Elementary” (#1t: 3.8/ 7) from 9:30-11 p.m.

    Over at ABC, veteran “Grey’s Anatomy” was right on par from one year earlier with a second-place 5.8/ 9 at 8 p.m. But the year-to-year overnight household slippage for lead-out “Scandal” (#2: 4.8/ 8 at 9 p.m.) was 25 percent. And “How to Get Away with Murder” (#1t: 3.8/ 7) dropped by 16 percent from “American Crime” on the year-ago evening. In other words, putting a scripted drama on a three month hiatus is just not a good idea for these broadcast networks.

    Elsewhere, NBC time period filler “You, Me and the Apocalypse” scored a mere1.6/ 3 into a 2.3/ 4 at 9 p.m. for an encore telecast of “Law & Order: SVU.” Freshman “Shades of Blue” rose to a 3.6/6 at 10 p.m. (#3), which was 50 percent above the 9:30 p.m. portion of “SVU” (2.4/ 4). Of note for “Shades of Blue” last week was a rise of 91 percent in adults 18-49 (from a .99 to a 1.89 rating) based on time shifting (Live + Same Day to Live + 3 Day).

    The CW capped off the night with freshman “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow” (#4t: 1.6/ 3) into a modest 1.0/ 2 for “The 100” at 9 p.m.

  • 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.
