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.
For more information see Numbers 101 and Numbers 102.
That Go On was heavily promoted, making the numbers even worse.
Raising Hope is almost at the same level as New Girl!
@BETTY WHITES OFF THEIR ROCKERS did horrible. It will be pulled soon, thankfully.
Its better than go on and new normal. ANd all nbc comedies these days.
Private Practice was ALWAYS series that was heavily dependent on Greys lead-in. It never ever did well on it’s own and its nice to see ABC has woke up and is ridding it off the network. I’m still pretty bitter about the treatment of Dirty Sexy Money and I will always blame PP because it had the stupid GREYS factor. BYE BYE!
Great for HE going up! I am still holding out that ABC may consider it or at the very least give it to another network.
Dont trust the B is dead! They show tried to be edgy but it really isn’t
Why in the world is BEN AND KATE still on the fox line-up? :s ..and the thought THE MOB DR was a problem! Good grief.
Vegas 18-49 is crap but I guess it’s steady.
I never watched Parenthood and it amazes me how steady this show is but is treated like crap by NBC. why? isn’t there some critical love for it too? you’d think NBC be all over that!
The NEW NORMAL is a failure, Anyway you chalk that up. BARKIN deserves so much better, heck even BARTHA! The show could of been great, edgy and fun but it’s way to preachy. Sometimes I feel like I’m watching a long drawn out political ad! I still tune in in hopes that the preachy nature will be toned down but I guess with murphy INCHARGE that is never gonna happen!
I think OFF THEIR ROCKERS did pretty good for being a dirt cheap program.
GO ON? WHY? WHY? I actually like this show. It’s not the best show in the world but it’s a true comedy at the very least.
I thought “Go On” was a repeat. Hmm…
I don’t think it’s in any danger unless it doesn’t return to the top when “The Voice” comes back.
Am I the only one even the slightest bit flabbergasted by NBC’s ratings?
I expected New Normal to drop substantially (although I find it better than Go On at this point), but Go On dropped about .2-.3 more than I expected. A 1.7-1.8 is one thing, but a 1.5? Suddenly, maybe, just maybe, COMMUNITY won’t look so bad. I mean, if it can hold a 1.3-1.5, it’s doing the same number as their new comedies are, and it would be leading a lineup that’s practically bullied by how gigantic BIG BANG has become.
I honestly feel bad for NBC, but for the sake of their great Thursday comedies, I don’t.
PARENTHOOD has more than earned itself a FULL fifth season renewal for next year with how consistent it has been.
Wow we see Go On and The New Normal’s true numbers now that they are without The Voice. Good Job Mindy Project, its definitely getting renewed if it can maintain those numbers.
@Bill Shows getting 1.0-2.0 and being considered successful is The New Normal.
CBS can improve its 10 PM by making three moves M = TM; Tues = H50 and Sun = Vegas. Pretty simple.
awesome for Parenthood.. season 5 here we come!!
Great episode for New Girl. Schmidt is really a great friend.
I think some people thought Fox’s comedy block is a repeat.
I think the greatest thing is that Parenthood increased even with the duds decreasing. If a fifth season isn’t given, I’ll be pretty ticked, especially how good this fourth season has been (quality wise).
@TVBTN and Sara
I have a small request – When you make the daily ratings posts, could you provide a link to the previous week’s ratings to help compare how shows have done compared to the week prior? I know it’s just a few clicks to get there, but it just adds a bit of convenience.
Thanks
nbc sitcoms are dead without the voice as lead in .
so the same thing for revolution ?
What happed to the ratings whatsoever? That’s horrible for broadcasting stations…
ouch that is the effect of no Voice infront of it.
Happy Endings did pretty good, considering there was a few people who thought they moved to Sunday’s instead of Wednesdays, and up against all originals. HE might actually pair better with Suburgatory, than Apt.23, I wouldn’t write them off for a renewal just yet.
can anyone tell me where i can see the ratings for last nights episodes of pretty little liars and the lying game?
NBC sitcoms fell apart without The Voice. NBC is crazy keeping The Voice all the way to the middle of March. It should return in February. I expect NBC to now crash and burn without The Voice and SNF.
So Happy Endings did worse than comedy repeats that aired outside their normal timeslot? LMAO
Wasn’t the Middle on at 8:30 on ABC?
On all the schedules that I saw on websites, Go On and New Normal were not listed as new episodes, so that could explain the steep decline of ratings. All the other comedies on the other networks were designated as new.
