In the final ratings results from Monday night, How I Met Your Mother was up a tick in the 18-49 demo to a 3.6 rating. Accidentally on Purpose was flat. Two and a Half Men was up two ticks to a 4.8 rating, as was Big Bang Theory to a 5.0 rating. CSI: Miami was flat vs. the overnight ratings results.
Castle fell to a 2.3 adults 18-49 rating.
Here are more final numbers from Travis Yanan.
Good to see How I Met Your Mother tick up. I’m not loving this season so far, but I can’t wait for that 100th episode. Congrats to The Big Bag Theory for getting a 5.0! We’ll be seeing this comedy around for many, many more seasons. I really should catch up on TBBT, too. I loved the S1 episodes I saw.
why cw shows always(or almost always) go down on final ratings??
So it’s a 0.1 ratings increase. The same as statistical noise, in other words.
Castle up from 2.2 last week. YAY!
For what it’s worth, that’s a season high for Castle.
What were Friday’s Final numbers? Were they posted and I just missed it?

ABC good & mediocre
CBS good & great (Bang outstanding)
NBC Leno & Heroes about as helpful
Fox outstanding & mediocre
CW GG down while OTH up vs. seasonal avgs
Last week had 3 outstanding shows. I’m guessing this week will have just one more. How weird that the day with two isn’t Thursday which may or may not even have 2 4+’s vs. 4 on Monday.
“For what it’s worth, that’s a season high for Castle.”
The fact that 2.3 is a season high makes it even worse though.
George, CW’s Miami affiliate aired the Monday Night Football game between the Jets and the Dolphins last night. The ratings for the game have to be subtracted from the ratings for the CW primetime lineup since Miami didn’t air the primetime lineup. The early ratings meter the timeslot, not the programming.
“For what it’s worth, that’s a season high for Castle.”
Not true. The premiere had the same rating.
What about Castle’s 2.9 in the premiere with DVR views?
Unfair to Castle. It actually ticked up from it’s previous weeks. I understand a 2.3 isn’t anything to write home about but it’s the first sign of improving instead of staying stable.
It’s always going to tick down because of the DWTS overrun. Not to mention football if a big game is on.
MichyGeary, the DVR numbers don’t count in the Nielsen ratings. Networks are keeping an eye on those DVR numbers but who knows if that’ll help a show like Castle. It’s my hope but I don’t trust ABC with all the shows they’ve cancelled in the last few years.
Lee, to be picky, DVR viewing *does* count in every Nielsen rating you see on our site. All our posts contain Live+Same Day DVR viewing (until 3am the following day).
Our posts specifically about DVR viewing also contain Live + 7 day DVR viewing numbers.
TBBT indeed went to 5.0 demo and up to 13 million viewers yay! HIMYM at 3.6 is great as well, I hope they keep it up especially for HIMYM I was really worried for it when it was announced it will anchor the night
And wow also at House at 5.2
AOP is doing decent so it might get a full season pick up as long as it maintains the 3.0 level I guess
I’m confused then. I keep hearing the DVR numbers don’t matter even though networks on keeping track of them.
Does the 2.9 Castle posted in the DVR numbers help or not?
Sorry, I’ve never paid attention to numbers like this and it seems I hear one thing and read another.
2.9 doesn’t help, but the 2.3 it got last night does include anyone who watched it before 3 am last night on DVR. But when they add in 7 days of DVR, that doesn’t help.
Julia, thank you once again. You always explain things so I can understand them.
Does this site have one of those guides for dummies? I think I need one.
Anyway, isn’t it worth noting that Castle improved at least?
I suggest reading the FAQ and Numbers 101 and 102 which are linked there.
Going to 2.3 from 2.2 isn’t really worth much, but the fact that Castle is impressively consistent, especially compared to Tuesday and Wednesday at 10 is worth noting. A couple of weeks ago I figured there was no way ABC keeps Castle for midseason. Now it looks like they may order at least a few more episodes. But I would not bet on a third season.
