Definitions:
DVR (Time-shifted) Adults 18-49 Ratings – 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) ratings 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.
DVR Ratings Increase Past Airdate - How many people watched the show on their DVRs within 7 days following the airdate
Until the 2009-2010 season, we used a show's LIVE program rating or viewership as the base upon which the LIVE+7 day DVR viewing was added. Now, the press seems to be standardizing around using LIVE+SAME DAY DVR viewing as the base for the calculations, so that's what we do now as well.

This is for all the ones who said that GG didn’t deserved a final season.
@B plus
Big Bang theory almost gets 21 million! Wow! I haven’t seen high ratings like this for a Thursday night sitcom since Friends!
Yeah, except Friends actually pulled those numbers in L+SD, which is what matters. I like The Big Bang Theory, but it will never approach the success of Friends; I know the Gunsmoke Rule applies here, but Friends‘ series low in the demo was a 9.4 – The Big Bang Theory‘s series highs haven’t gone near that number. The Big Bang Theory is amazing, but Friends was an absolute monster.
I had read on the Hawaii Five 0 website that week that peoples boxes were not recording the show like they should. They had them set to record but there was some kind of problem because it had not been on the week before because of hurricane Sandy.
Hey, does this count towards Hulu views or maybe even Piratebay downloads
just saying ha ha
