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.

I guess its series low night for all shows looks like the three network comedy competition isnt working out so well for ABC or Fox
Go Emily Owens! Maybe the CW will order the extra 9 episodes now that is stabilized.
All this comedy collapsing is making CBS look very smart indeed. As usual.
Austin Lauran,
Does anybody know what the highest rated episode of NCIS is?
My very quick and un-thourough search points to a 4.9 for the 2009 premiere.
SO MANY SITCOMS, SO LITTLE VIEWERS
FOX seriously in serious trouble w/ New Girl already down to 2.0
ABC can’t even crack a 2.0 & 1.2 best 9-11, the B’s 0.9 in MD country
CW still in CW territory
NBC the Voice not sounding so loud these days, TNN tanking but PH still on the radar
CBS TAKES NIGHT in both Demo & Viewers, Vegas takes 10:00 Net hour
The Mob Doctor
Ben and Kate
Emily Owens
Don’t look so bad, given the new normal re: broadcast ratings.
The former two are only 1.0 point behind the “biggest hits” no their network (Glee, New Girl, Bones’ 1.9s-2.0s).
Owens is within the 0.4-0.6 “normal” range for the CW.
I watched Parenthood for the first time last night and was surprised. I thought the acting was good and the writing was excellent. I’m surprised it hasn’t done too well in the ratings but glad NBC has stuck with it.
It’s funny that people are blaming Thanksgiving when CBS ratings were normal
Super sad for The Mindy Project, every episode keeps getting better. Sadly, it just can’t make up for how bad the first two episodes were. On the bright side, The Voice keeps dropping
I think Emily Owens deserves the back 9 order from the CW. I think with more time the Tuesday line up of HOD and EO will improve. I love both shows personally. As for the comedies on the other networks they are definitely cannibalizing themselves at 9pm which is shameful because I love them all.
Hopefully Mindy continues its precipitous fall in the ratings, what a horrible show.
Good news for fans is that ABC can’t cancel both Apt 23 and Happy Endings. I mean all their new shows are awful and they need to air something. CBS at least have good shows to put in repeats like TBBT and TAHM.
ABC 4-th network and worst network. NEW LOW for them. At least will beat CW.
Poor Apt. 23. Such great, funny writing.
Why do advertisers care about the 18-49 demographic? These are the same people that have made superstars out of Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Jersey Shore. Enough said. Total viewers should be more important!
The last two episodes of Em Owens were season hgihs (excluding the premiere).
It’s gaining traction. Should be given a full season.
NBC really did a disservice to The Voice in election week. One episode better than 3.
Overexposure.
The B in 23 didn’t do too bad looking at its lead in. Now that, on the other hand…
@ Tihomir
NBC is having their best year in years
dang! the voice has lost over 3 million viewers!!!
If the CW aired Vampire Diaries, Arrow and Supernatural on the same night they’d make FOX Tuesdays look horrible.
P&R beat TNN again. So much for ‘niche’.
Awwww Aptm 23
and :O at HoD
