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.

I love how consistently OTH beats Gossip Girl
Yet ANOTHER series-low in terms of both 18-49 and total viewers for Heroes.
heroes is over! there is nothing left to save
Studude190-
Ditto.
Threesomes, Lady Gaga and Hilary Duff have done nothing for GG’s ratings.
Who was saying that my guess of 2.2 for Heroes was ridiculous?
ihul!!! OTH beats GG even with our Lady Gaga!!!!
love OTH and I hope 8th season rocks soon…..
If these numbers hold, Castle looks good for a third season.
Any idea what FOX airing the MNF game in the Cleveland-Akron market will do to the final numbers for them?
And is that Castle number DWTS affected? Seems like a decent number.
Even Twilight guests can’t help Jay
This is definitely going to be Heroes’ final season.
CBS did really well last night but it’s interesting that CSI: Miami held onto 100% of the Big Bang Theory’s viewers but lost 1.3 of the demo but it was only down a tad from the hyped crossover.
Castle is doing well but it will be interesting what the final result as it may be skewed by overrun.
Wow, BBT tied House in the demo on Monday
Now if OTH would beat GG in adults 18-34 or w18-34 then you should really start being happy, until then GG will be the one the CW is more happy with.
well, I like Lady Gaga, also Hilary Duff, and thresomes are 10, but GG are awful this season!!!
It’s amazin to see that even with the part of main cast out from OTH, the show still have great ratings!!!
There’s only One Tree Hill!!!!!!!!!
Jon, CSI: Miami is the only CSI that isn’t down significantly from last year, and the crossover didn’t give it much of a bump, so it’s not surprising that it didn’t lose too much after the crossover.
Definitely want to see Castle’s final numbers. It’ll probably drop to 2.5, but if it can hold 2.6, will that be the highest it has been at in final numbers since the second or third episode last year?
@ron I think Leno is up something like 20% from last Monday. Looks like Taylor Lautner did help indeed.
Surprised House is holding its own. The last two episodes have been pretty dire. I’m hoping they’ll improve now that (apparently) House has a stable team, but…
Any idea what FOX airing the MNF game in the Cleveland-Akron market will do to the final numbers for them?
I was wondering too, will the numbers for the finals drop?
i thought GG would do better with lady GaGa, threesome flashbacks / after maths/ the exit of hillary duff and the introduction kevin zegers
I think GG is done with big guest stars for now (except Victoria Beckham and Kevin Zergers will be around for a while – like Duff did )
Well Heroes was great last monday. It’s been a long time since I didn’t Heroes sucked…
And since, even as low as it is, NBC doesn’t have anything better, that doesn’t mean the show is doomed.
