NOTE: All national ratings are "live plus same day" from Nielsen Media Research unless otherwise indicated.

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.

Bot off topic but apparently there is a big thing going on all of a sudden for RINGER to be put back on the air….
Fans have raised money for billboards etc…. Some of the cast is getting involved and apparently this fan drive thing is getting alot of media attention.
Seems like a pretty big thing for a show with such a low viewership.
and the president of the CW has said he is looking into ways of bringing it back according to Zoey Deutch’s twitter.
How odd
This is history. This is _______ history, dudes. 0.1. 0.1 for an original of anything.
I’m not loving the way NBC is bouncing Grimm all over the schedule just to capture some fading post-Olympics glow (or maybe because they just wanted to shove something in there and they thought Grimm would do). Not sure Grimm’s own audience will be able to find it that way, but, who knows? Maybe it will find some new viewers on Monday.
I sure hope the Final Witness season finale (or series finale, though I hope not) gets some good viewership.
Ringer is dead. So is TSC. Face it moroons!
It is what it is regarding LA Complex’s ratings. I will continue to watch. I really do not care how low the ratings are. If I feel that a show is well written and has interesting storylines that will keep me as a viewer.
So what’s on Univision that’s beating both Fox and ABC?
At least LA Complex is making HISTORY for the CW! Being the lowest rated show for an original episode, is something the CW must take pride in.
@Tony
LA Complex is The CWs equivelent of Stargate Universe.
If you follow Science fiction shows, you’d know how poorly this show rated.
Grimm…2.2
SES…2.4
The L.A. Complex had bad luck… running opposite fall spring finales and now The Olympics!
Pedowitz is broadcasting the LA Complex to punish those of us who called him bad names for cancelling the Secret Circle. If you think this is bad, wait for what he has in store next summer after all of his new shows bomb.
Correction: LA Complex had 0.1 (0.44mil) last week too (in final numbers).
How is 9.3 24% down from 9.3? I think your calculator’s broken.
Last week’s fast nationals were a 12.2.
I so want something on the CW to get a 0.0/0 soon. This week is our chance for history!
0.1/0 for an original is spectacular enough.
Any guess the ratings poll for tonight’s episode of Go On?
Wow, u guys had a great night in athletics at Wednesday night. 7 medals!! 2 in every event where was the final, except in 400 m hurdles!
Great night for Americans!
@thesnowleopard
ot sure Grimm’s own audience will be able to find it that way, but, who knows?
NBC is running repeats of the Monday night episodes in the show’s normal timeslot.
@Editz
So what’s on Univision that’s beating both Fox and ABC?
The Mexican telenovelas La que no podia amar and Abismo de pasion.
