Final ratings for the NCAA Basketball first round games were quite different from the preliminary fast affliate ratings (~3.2 vs. 3.7). I'll see if I can find comparable final numbers from the first night last year to compare. Community was adjusted down a tenth of a ratings point, and The Marriage Ref was adjusted up a tenth, otherwise not many broadcast adjustments.
Cable ratings for Archer, Project Runway, America's Best Dance Crew, Real Housewives NYC, and more below.

8.97m, 3.1 demo for the first block last year… 7.77m, 3.1 demo for the second block last year.
Unfortunately we didn't see the full second block from Travis based on the above.
It's all but impossible to really know how much the preliminary overnight numbers got adjusted since they were just for primetime and the first block includes an hour outside of primetime, The 11 minutes for 10pm doesn't make any sense without 49 minutes of something else. Games went on well past 11pm eastern, let alone 10:10p.
And unsurprisingly scheduling the season finale of Archer against the opening night of the NCAA tournament turned out to be an awful idea.
Not really, it didn't fall in the 18-49 demo.
Wow a Vampire Diaires repeat was beaten by a Supernatural repeat, I didn't see that coming
In 18-49, Archer had .6 last week, but .4 is the usual rating.

I've a doubt:
LA Ink
- 1.385 million viewers
- 0.9/2 HH
- 0.7/2 A18-49
What does “HH” mean?
And I use that HH with the A18-49 to calculate the renew/cancel index, right?
Pontes:
HH = household rating. It is the percentage of the homes in the US that were tuned in. Homes does not = people as more than one person per household can watch. We do not use HH to calculate the renew/cancel index.
While we focus on A18-49 for the renew/cancel index for BROADCAST shows, we have no such index for cable shows.
We don't really get enough data (that's sliced in an easy to manipulate way) to do indexes for the cable shows, and even if we did, there are too many variables (many networks are not focusing on 18-49), too many shows, and we don't do reality shows even in the broadcast index. Because of the lower costs of those shows, it makes forecasting much harder.

I must say that if you don't use the HH, you use the rating that is published here, every day, right?
I'm sorry but I'm traying to understand how every thing works…
