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.

The New Normal was low even with The Voice inflated lead in. Wasn’t it down to a 1.7 one week??
what happened is the voice isnt on. Tuesday is a bad night. everything is bad. all these sitcoms are bad. and the dramas are bad also.
Wow, who would have thunk Parenthood would be the top show on NBC. It just guarnateed it’s renewal if it hadn’t already. That show is totally non-lead-in dependent.
I would guess Happy Endings would need to get to a 1.6-1.7 to really have a shot at renewal on ABC. Still, up is up. And with the worst lead in it’s had.
Okay, at least we know that Parenthood has its own audience by now. That’s great.
But Go On and The New Normal totally crashed. That was brutal.
NBC have great season… best from 10 years, but their commedies are realy awful. I think they must try drama or reality on that spot next season. Networks dramas and realities get so bigger demo than their comedies. Its amost ridicules. All other networks exactly the comedies are with better demo. Trange. And tuesday at 9 is crazy slot. Too many comedies. TBBT also repeat here all night.
Not good for Go On but as with Deception yesterday it could have been a lot worse for NBC. It hasn’t completely collapsed and presumably it’ll rebound a little come March when The Voice returns. At some point though one of Fox, ABC and NBC have to blink and move their 9PM comedies. There’s no way all three of them scheduling comedies in that slot is doing any one any favours.
I’m so sad GO ON is crushed.
I’m surprised Modern Family repeated that well outside its normal timeslot.
Parenthood did very well all things considered. Poor Private Practice.
NBC should seriously considering re-airing the Fall “The Voice” repeats in the 8pm slot.
Great to see Parenthood up! But other than that, NBC execs can’t be too pleased this morning. All of a sudden, those Thursday “niche” shows they complain about don’t look so bad in comparison.
Not bad for Off Their Rockers- looks like the trend is for the second episodes to trend upward from the lead-in ones.
NCIS over 20 million viewers again, not surprise with Voice and DWTS off schedule. Both shows have hit CBS this season on tuesday!
I hope if CBS picks up the NCIS Part 3 spin off, it doesn;t place it at 10pm Tuesday! It will surely be overkill. Think the spin off might actually be a good show to lead off Wednesday night!
BETTY WHITES OFF THEIR ROCKERS did horrible. It will be pulled soon, thankfully.
@RJ
The New Normal only had The Voice as a lead in in its series premiere. After that, it had Go On as a lead in.
Wow @ go on…so much for it being a hit
even with NCIS and NCISLA, Vegas has low ratings
Aren’t ratings vs. last week usually compared to prelims? If so, Parenthood is up two tenths from last week.
NetworK without ‘s’ sorry.
@Greg,
But an increased Go On helps The New Normal, effectively giving The New Normal a Voice lead in.
