Due to the nature of live programming the ratings for NBC (NFL Football), CBS (which was delayed 41 minutes in several major markets due to football overruns) & FOX (Football Overruns) are approximate and subject to more than the typical adjustments in the final numbers. See below for more information on these Fast Affiliate Ratings.
NBC was number one among adults 18-49 and with total viewers.
On NBC, Sunday Night Football (Eagles/Cowboys) scored a preliminary 6.6 adults 18-49 rating from 8:30-11:00PM, down from last week's 7.6 rating.
On FOX, The Cleveland Show earned 1.6, down four tenths from last week's 2.0 rating. Bob's Burgers garnered a x from last week's 2.0adults 18-49 rating. American Dad notched a 2.0, down a tenth from its last original's 2.1 adults 18-49 rating.
On ABC, America's Funniest Home Videos was even with last week's 1.6 adults 18-49 rating.Once Upon A Time was also even with last week's 3.1. Your predictions were a little too optimistic .Revenge garnered a 2.4, up two tenths from last week's season low 2.2 adults 18-49 rating. 666 Park Avenue notched a 1.4, also up two tenths from last week's 1.2 adults 18-49 rating.
Due to overruns, CBS ratings are scrambled and essentially worthless until we get the finals tomorrow.

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.

Both Once Upon A Time and Revenge were fantastic last night. I was on the edge of my seat for Revenge. IMO, those two hours of TV is the most entertaining of the week. And hopefully these two shows will garner more recognition come award season. Madeline Stowe deserves a nomination. Now if ABC were to move Scandal to 10pm that would be 3 total hours of fascinating dramas.
@ Douglas from Brazil
Hope you didn’t take offense as I honestly didn’t single you out. Saw Mike’s comment & agreed. There have been several other times in previous posts when others have stated the same & I could never grasp the statement.
I follow OUAT fairly regularly & who else but Cora could be the queen of hearts, but much more happened than just that.
Again, sorry if I offended you, as that was not my intent.
@THE OLD MAN
I agree. Although The Dark One aka Rumpelstiltskin was revealed to be the one who guided Cora with her magic, he never kept Hearts, he didn’t care enough too. With the Heart vault(I’ll call it that), with all those hearts being shown throughout the series, some taken by Regina, a lot taken by Cora, it should of been obvious who it was.
I haven’t caught up with Once Upon a Time in over a month, knew last night’s episode title, and even I don’t consider it a spoiler. Some posters really need to get over themselves.
Yeah, it’s funny that CBS chose to show a Mentalist repeat last night. Apparently it’s new next week, while The Good Wife is either a repeat or off for the night (if TAR wraps up next week with a 2-hr finale; I wouldn’t know since I don’t watch it).
What were the ratings for this week’s latest epiosde of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”, “Secret Weapons” when it aired on Saturday?
@Max
Most shows are subject to weeks of pre-emptions and reruns in order to make a 22 episode season last until May. And yes, ratings are generally lower come spring as a result – so I don’t know why you think that this will only affect Revenge.
IMO Once and Revenge are holding up well on an extremely competitive night of the week. Surely The Good Wife and The Mentalist’s ratings are far more worrying? Or the cancelled 666 and Last Resort?
Nice for Revenge.
Why no uptick OUAT? That was your best episode ever!!!!!!!!!!
@The End,
I’m not new here…I’ve been following this website since 2009.But this is a website about numbers,not recaps.Here,we discuss ratings,DVR numbers,the fate of shows who can be canceled or renewed…
Just because is an american website for american shows does mean that I’m not allowed to follow?It’s nonsense.
The reason I follow is just I love american shows.When I comment about that picture revealed who was the queen of hearts,that moment for me it was a spoiler being revealed not the entire episode but just a character.
@The Old Man,
Never thought in my mind about what you said as an offense.I got your point.I’m sorry for all misunderstanding.I apologize for my unclear comments.It’s good to be here and discuss about something from diferents perspectives.Maybe I’ve gone too far but we’re here to comment and discuss.I appreciate your words!
With the pick up of Murder Police I’m worried Animation Domination will look Like this next season.
7 The OT
730 Bobs Burgers
8 The Simpson’s
830 purser Police
9 Family Guy
940 American Dad
930* & Murder*
Sorry. My phone Did it.
Max is definitely doing this on purpose to drum up conversation, but regardless Revenge always has some of the biggest gains from DVR viewing, gaining around 3+ million viewers a week!! OUAT and Scandal are both AMAZING shows!!!!!
Another article blaming the DVR for the drop in ratings..

Revenge was awesome! Setting up some interesting story lines for the Spring!
@Douglas from Brazil
Sorry but I don’t believe you. Episode discussions of stuff aired, and pictures in the ratings releases have been around as long as I can remember, and you’re only JUST starting to complain about them. If you’ve been here for 3 years you’d know all this.
Going back to my original point, discussion stuff already aired is not considered a spoiler, depending on the country of origin of said websites/posters, this episode has aired, and thus the picture/discussions are valid.
Revenge up two tenths and Max still spins it as a disaster because it didn’t score 5.0 with twenty million viewers…
Truly pathetic human being.
Poor Ashley got drop-kicked out the show – but I’ve no doubt she will return seeking REVENGE! Because that’s what everyone the show does. The name is the clue!
