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.

Shame about the ABC comedies. They are actually funny but so are the NBC and Fox comedies. ABC should move Happy Endings and Apt23 to 8 and DWTS to 9.
Bad numbers for Parenthood which sucks, but all of these numbers look really low probably due to it being Thanksgiving week. Still waiting on those additional Parenthood episodes to be ordered though NBC….
@ Phil, don’t count on it. They will be steady in the 3′s especially considering the competition is almost done. I expect it to grow once they get to the semi finals and finals or whatever it’s called.
X Factor is also steady, but mainly thanks to 1D and Taylor Swift. I don’t think Cher Lloyd is as huge a draw, not many people know her in the States.
thanksgiving week is really hurting everything. can’t believe that New Girl is already at a 2.
that number for Apt 23 is just miserable. is this the first non-CW/Friday show (other than Mob Doctor) to go sub-1?
heh, Parenthood and Vegas basically flipped positions.
go on and new girl will be tied in the final ratings
Ouch New Girl.
That makes Bones 2.0 look amazing on Fox dead Monday night.
Fox now is probably regretting changing the schedule. Bring Glee back to tuesday and Bones back to thursday!
Weak ratings everywhere. :/
FOX, OUCH!
Glad Go On held up even though The Voice dropped. I love that show
@r0ckmypants
Not for Go On; the one episode that aired without the Voice got a 2.1 rating.
@ Jonathan, live shows are on monday. Tuesdays are result shows which always attract less viewers and ratings due to it only being a 1 hr show.
yikes…apt 23 down to mob doctor numbers
jeeze FOX is slowly becoming the CW on its prime
Thanksgiving seems to have hurt a lot of these shows, especially young-skewing ones.
Disaster for the comedies. Sad as it makes me, ABC need to pull HE/A23.
Go On seems to have stopped falling (although The Voice overrun will probably see it being adjusted down).
WOW! ABC Tuesday’s are awful! Shame Happy Endings and Dont Trust The B are among the best comedies on TV
Cancel The Mindy Project the show is bad Quality Wise and Rating Wise.
let the holiday lows start for some and continue for others… fyi, expect a lot of shows to have new lows for the next 2 months throughout the holidays. if the show is any good, the ratings should go back up in January.
No surprise CBS is going for a 3rd NCIS on Tuesdays.
what is happening to new girl. it was getting 2.7/2.8 a month back.. :O
wow on the b. that’s like wow. i would think about moving it before canceling it. you cant have 3 sitcom’s on at the same time. just doesn’t work.
RIP to “Don’t Trust The B In Apartment 23″
