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 baseball 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.

Go Revenge! Still pretty steady even with The Walking Dead premiere at the same hour.
@ Max
get a life, do you wait all day on this site just so that you can comment first?
revenge is doing great and it will be renewed
Good numbers for OUAT and Revenge. Not too bad for Mentalist. 666 Park Avenue is a goner.
Looks like The Walking Dead did not make a dent in the mostly female skewing audience of both OUAT and Revenge.
As for The Walking Dead being “boring”–that’s probably the one adjective you can’t use to describe last night’s episode.
Unless boring involves non-stop sequences of intense action and gruesome zombie kills…
Good for TM. Maybe it can overcome its trash lead in after all.
I think these ratings sort of prove, that Revenge doesn’t really benefit from the lead in of OUAT. Like, OUAT fell by 0.4, but Revenge rose by 0.1 compared to last week. It was the same last year, when OUAT was getting mid to high 3′s. and DH pulled high 2′s, but when OUAT fell in the spring to high 2′s, DH remained steady.
CBS aired regular time except 60 Minutes ?
Why is OUAT down so much
Well most ABC shows this season dropped badly after their premiere, I hope they bounce back
CBS needs to flip Mentalist with the Good Wife. If it does this, TM will go up 3/10 of a point. Against TM, Revenge will go down to the low 2s.
“There may be some adjustments coming. Didn’t OUAT end at 9:01 pm?”
No, Revenge started on time.
@max – revenge rose a tenth, while OUAT fell 3/10. You’re making a fool out of yourself.
YES!!! So happy to see Revenge UP this week. Last night’s episode was back in full form and I can’t wait to see next week’s episode.
That press conference scene had me speechless. It was brilliant!
@MAX You’re a funny guy, but no.
lmao. all you can do is laugh at max at this point.
CBS primetime was delayed in select markets due to NFL overruns.
http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/2012/06Cxl.png
Green ET/CT markets (New England, Philly, Baltimore, Miami/Orlando/West Palm Beach, St. Louis, Detroit, Milwaukee, Dallas and others) were delayed 22 mins and light blue ET/CT markets (Buffalo/Upstate NY) were delayed 35 mins.
I wish more people would stick around for 666 Park Avenue. The show is getting better.
Guys, it’s time to ban max don’t ya think?
Please
Just ignore Max people.
666 Park Avenue is such a good show and it has been so poorly handled
By this time i believe there’s no doubt it will get canceled. What a waste…
“The irony of a Scandal fan talking about retention and a half hour drop…”
+1
@Max
Actually, OUAT is not steady at all. Its fallen 0.4 every week.
Yay for Revenge.
Why is AFV still on?
