  • Last Week's Final Adjusted Ratings


  • Early HH Ratings from Marc Berman (programminginsider)
    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)

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

    Ratings Breakdown:
    Led by the return of “The Voice,” NBC stood well above the competition on this final night in February and is poised for adult 18-49 victory in each of the six half-hours. “The Voice” averaged an 8.4 rating/13 share in the household overnights from 8-10 p.m., besting competing “The Bachelor” on ABC (5.9/ 9) by 42 percent. Comparably, “The Voice” was up by five percent in households from the season-premiere of its fall cycle (8.0/12 in 9/21/15), but 12 percent below the 9.5/14 in the overnights on the year-ago evening.

    NBC’s freshman “Blindspot” returned with a second-place 4.5/ 7 at 10 p.m., which trailed competing “NCIS: Los Angeles” on CBS (5.0/ 9) by 10 percent but will still own the hour in the key young adult demos. Regardless, “Blindspot” was still 37 percent below the 7.1/12 for the series-opener on 9/21/15, and household retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “The Voice” (8.4/13) was only 54 percent. In other words, “Blindspot” is not necessary a huge hit. Don’t be fooled.

    Airing out of aforementioned “The Bachelor” on ABC was tired “Castle” at a third-place 3.7/ 6 at 10 p.m., which could very well be a series low overnight performance. Isn’t it time to take “Castle” off the case?

    Also returning last night was “Gotham” on Fox at a fourth-place 2.9/ 5 at 8 p.m., which was 41 percent below the season (or series) finale of “The X-Files” one week earlier (4.9/ 7 on Feb. 22). Comparably, “Gotham” slipped by 31 percent from the 4.2/ 7 on the year-ago evening and it led into a series-low 2.6/ 4 (#4) for recent entry “Lucifer” at 9 p.m. Worth positively noting for “Lucifer,” however, was the 93 percent overnight retention out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of “Gotham.

    On CBS, “Supergirl” (#3: 4.5/ 7) bested competing “Gotham” on Fox by a hefty 55 percent and it led into a 5.9/ 9 for sophomore “Scorpion” at 9 p.m., which built by 31 percent. Aforementioned “NCIS: Los Angeles” capped off the night for the Eye net with a 5.0/ 9 at 10 p.m. (#1).

    The CW could not compete, meanwhile, care of the combination of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” and “Jane the Virgin,” which each scored a mere 0.7/ 1 in the household overnights.

  • 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.
