Definitions:
Fast Affiliate Ratings: These first national ratings, including demographics, are available at approximately 11 AM (ET) the day after telecast, and are released to subscribing customers daily. These data, from the National People Meter sample, are strictly time-period information, based on the normal broadcast network feed, and include all programming on the affiliated stations, sometimes including network programming, sometimes not. The figures may include stations that did not air the entire network feed, as well as local news breaks or cutaways for local coverage or other programming. Fast Affiliate ratings are not as useful for live programs and are likely to differ significantly from the final results, because the data reflect normal broadcast feed patterns. For example, with a World Series game, Fast Affiliate Ratings would include whatever aired from 8-11PM on affiliates in the Pacific Time Zone, following the live football game, but not game coverage that begins at 5PM PT. The same would be true of Presidential debates as well as live award shows and breaking news reports.
Rating: Estimated percentage of the universe of TV households (or other specified group) tuned to a program in the average minute. Ratings are expressed as a percent.
Share (of Audience): The percent of households (or persons) using television who are tuned to a specific program, station or network in a specific area at a specific time. (See also, Rating, which represents tuning or viewing as a percent of the entire population being measured.)
Time Shifted Viewing – Program ratings for national sources are produced in three streams of data – Live, Live+Same Day (Live+SD) and Live+7 Day. Time shifted figures account for incremental viewing that takes place with DVRs which are currently in approximately 24.4% of all U.S. TV households. Live+Same Day (Live+SD) include viewing during the same broadcast day as the original telecast, with a cut-off of 3:00AM local time when meters transmit daily viewing to Nielsen for processing. Live+7 Day ratings include incremental viewing that takes place during the 7 days following a telecast.

what a yawn of a night whatched a movie
I am probably 1 out of 5 that watched both Kings and Harper’s Island.
but i did tape Eli Stone
harpers island was a great episode!!
Tanner, I watched both Kings and H.I too lol Both are great, dont care what anyone says
I’m happy that the Saturday ratings are being posted here and not just being ignored. I watched Harper’s Island. Shame it had to be tossed to Saturday night and canceled just before it started to pick up. The first few eps were kind of mediocre but after that it got really good. Still, at least it’s getting 3.5 million. That’s better than I can say for some other shows that were given better slots during the week, like Dollhouse (which I watch too). Still, I think those got better 18-49 ratings, which I guess is more important (which I don’t really get…why is 18-49 more important than the total number of viewers?).
I watched Harper’s Island. Pretty good episode. Can’t be bothered with Kings anymore, other than Ian McShane it’s terrible.
Harper’s Island was awesome last night!
I agree Mark
Harper’s Island was really good last night. There was a lot of drama that unraveled and it is set up for a really great finale in two weeks. This show just got better and better as it went along and it really was a great storyline. It’s really too bad that this show is ending but I can see why they could not make this into a second season.
Harper’s Island keeps getting better and Kings keeps getting worse i still watch both though
Harper’s island will air a repeat next week and in 2 week will have a 2 hour finale
im still dieing to find out who the 2nd killer is personally i’m thinking Shea
huddy80, I agree with you too, CBS was considering a second season of Harper’s Island but with a different plot and cast if the ratings were good but as we all know the ratings were not good enough so it’s not happening. Too bad though a second season with a different plot and characters would have been interesting.
i think we need a neww systme i am not a Nelsion house so why doesnt my veiew count i have Cablevsion do i count in ratings or no and i watch all CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox and cw
t, I don’t think it’s Shae, I’m thinking Henry or Jimmy. I think Henry is Abby’s half brother and Jimmy has something to do with what’s been happening, but I think Henry does too.
I came upon E! televsion and again they were showing the exact same SNL episodes. Why?
Seeing Will Ferrel do his Frat boy character on update was funny, but I’d rather watch Adam Sandler and crew do the Greek Gyro guy with the rest of the crew in that sketch that ‘went on too long’. But it was FUNNY! Please, somebody get some network to show those episodes. I’m dying over here!
‘You lika the juice?’
I watched Castle last night because I didn’t start watching Castle until last week with the repeat of the Pilot episode.
Harpers Island was EPIC.
Repeat Castle in a virtual dead heat with a new Eli Stone
i stop watching Castle cause i seen ratings where going down i started to watch again when they put it back with Danceing
Harper’s island is getting better after episode 6! and last night it was awesome!!!too bad it finishes! at least let’s hope we have a great finale
