You can see TV ratings from other recent Overnight ratings reports here.
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. 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.

Aww, Wipeout lost the night on 8PM.
I dont watch the LA Complex but groundbreaking is probably exaggerating for a teenage soap.
Americia didn’t have any talent last night. Move this panel to Idol along with Nick and cancel this show. everything would be fixed.
America*
I was hoping The LA Complex would get better numbers now that they’re simulcasting the show in the US and Canada.
After last night’s cliff hanger, hopefully the viewership and ratings will go up.
@John A
Telling that L.A. Complex is a teen soap, prooves you have no idea what the show realy is.
@Roger From the wikipedia description pretty much sounds like it. Ive never seen the show so fair enough.
I hope Hart Of Dixie isn’t adjusted down. .4 is really good for a repeat considering it was getting .5/.6 in the spring. Hopefully it will help draw viewers in in the fall for a high rated premiere.
“I dont watch the LA Complex but groundbreaking is probably exaggerating for a teenage soap.”
Why didn’t you stop yourself before posting this, you clearly don’t watch the show so you wouldn’t know if it was groundbreaking or not.
Ohhh John A. Grade A troll.
Scheduling is tricky in the Summer because alot of the scripted shows are taken off. NY Med is a perfect placement holder for Private Practice. Being that both are a medical drama dealing with doctors and patients. I think it should be the goal of the networks to try and keep the same audience
watching a particular timeslot that would watch the scripted drama when it returns in the Fall. Anyways, WipeOut is getting too overexposed. Once a week is enough. I would keep it on Tuesday night.
Tuesday
8pm Wipeout

It still haunts me on L.A. Complex when Kal punching his man with all of that blood loss. Man that show is so good!
A show airing on CW isnt groundbreaking was my thinking and the way some of the childish commentaters here act has confirmed this.
People judging a show by wikipedia confirm a lot to me too.
@Mon
It would be nice for Ryan to be back, but I doubt it, unless Graham, Gordon and Joe also taste to make it fair. It would be too easy for the other chefs to give not liked chefs, like Ryan, reviews that could result in the unliked chefs elimination.
I think Stern is a good judge but he’s exposed just how bad Howie and Sharon perform. Not a good mix! Howie is probably the worst and has worn out his welcome.
LOL@Roger Nice one!
LA Complex deserves better than the CW! I wonder if the show would perform better on MTV…
Oh well, the important thing is that the CW picked it up. Hopefully, they’ll pick up the remaining 6 episodes of season 2 as well.
The LA Complex is groundbreaking because it deals with something that has NEVER been showcased on TV. Being gay in the hip hop world.
The show is very gritty and real. To be honest this is the only show I have ever watched on the CW. I understand this may not be everyone’s cup of tea but the fact that it deals with this subject speaks volumes.
LA complex was great. Damn good show.
