Due to the nature of live programming the ratings for CBS and NBC (NFL Football Overrun & Golden Globes) 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, but CBS won with total viewers.
On NBC, The Golden Globes earned a 5.4,up four tenths from last year's 5.0 adults 18-49 rating. Update: We received the time zone adjusted Fast Nationals (which should be pretty close to the finals) and The Golden Globes earned a 6.4 adults 18-49 rating in from 8-11:02PM and attracted 19.68 viewers . Earlier in the night, the Golden Globes red carpet special earned a 2.5adults 18-49 rating.
On FOX, The Cleveland Show was even with the 1.4 its last original earned. Simpsons earned a 2.4, down almost two full ratings points from last week's football inflated 4.2. Bob’s Burgers garnered a 2.3, down eight tenths from last week's 3.1 adults 18-49 rating. Family Guy scored a 3.1, down half a ratings point from last week's 3.6 adults 18-49 rating. American Dad notched a 2.4, down four tenths from last week's 2.8 among adults 18-49.
On ABC, Once Upon A Time earned a 2.8, down three tenths from last week's 3.1 adults 18-49 rating. Your predictions were too optimistic. Revenge scored a season low-tying 2.0, down four tenths from last week's 2.4. Happy Endings also tied its season low, matching Sunday's 1.0 adults 18-49 rating and down four tenths from a 1.4 on Tuesday. Don’t Trust The B in Apt. 23 earned a series low 0.8, down a tenths from both last Sunday's 0.9 and from Tuesday's 1.1 adults 18-49 rating.
On CBS, the beginning of primetime was delayed by 67min due to a football overrun. 60 Minutes earned a 3.7, up from last week's 1.4 adults 18-49 rating . The Good Wife scored a season-high 1.9, up a tenth from last week's 1.8. However, because of late-running football, this number may change. The Mentalist earned a 2.0, down a tenth after last week's 2.1 adults 18-49 rating.

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.

Happy Endings was an episode that has been floating around the internet for the last 8 months and anyone that has the season 2 DVD has seen it
Max you know I am a fan of Scandal, so for goodness’ sake just stop.

Scandal premiered at a 2.1, dropped only .2 to a 1.9 twice in its 10 episodes. Castle and Nashville were hitting below that number over 3 times already (other 10pm shows). Revenge premiered above a 3.0 (3.2 I think) and 10 episodes in, already hitting a roughly 1.0 below the season premiere.
Scandal also gained on average .5 in the demo and a million viewers in the past 5 episodes while Revenge, before the Globes, has seen already seen a roughly 2 million drop in viewers and a steep drop in the rating.
So we really can’t compare Scandals low, only .2 difference, to Revenges low when Scandals low was only a 10 percent drop from its premiere (all happened within 4 episodes) and Revenges low is a 38% drop from its premiere. Scandal might not be the higher rated show, changing however, but it is far more stable and definitely one of the better rated 10pm shows right now.
We can claim the Globes was the problem and I will give it that this week but I don’t see Revenge hitting a 2.5 or over anytime soon.
@CrimTV
I agree with the Award show thing but Revenge had already hit a season low of 2.1 a while ago so I don’t see how the award show was the blame much for a low rating when it had already hit a low rating (not far from the current one). Plus, Revenge has been losing in the demo and viewers for a few episodes now. It has been up and down in the demo but losing in viewers. The Winter return did not gain any new viewers from the Fall Finale but instead actually lost some. I don’t have anything against Revenge but lets not act like the show is some hit.
@senor chang
@Max
What do you GAIN from bashing a show that’s going to get renewed anyway every week?
He’s probably amused by all of the people who simply can’t resist responding to him every single time he does it.
Ouat poor rating against 60 minutes was a big surprise. Revenge is one of abc best shows. ratings will improve for revenge.
LOL AT MAX… SCANDAL HAS GOTTEN A 1.9 and he doesn’t say anything
but Scandal competes with Elementary which has a 2.3 average
Jajajajajaja
Sorry Scandal. lol
ONCE held up well, considering the competition and remained stead in the half hour breakdown. It will rise next week.
Revenge did good. Not amazing but held up nicely. Don’t call it dead yet.
Good Wife did really good. It rose against an awards show. I can see season 5 somewhere on the horizon.
The ABC comedies, well a 666 would have probably pulled the same (1.0) and many would say it held up fine, considering how low the ratings were before Christmas.
the world isnt coming to an end because revenge hit a low. it will bounce back.
next week is afc championship on CBS buy the way. Just saying.
Revenge is not a show that can bounce back, its a serialized drama, once it looses viewers there is no coming back and if you look at the promos and the marketing from ABC, you can see that its not getting the same support as it was last year. ABC seem to have given up on Revenge, even its promos this season have been awful, the weekly promos are making it look like some cheesy Desperate Housewives rip off.
edit – i mean by the way….
If OUAT doesn’t adjust up, won’t 8.15 be a series low in viewers?
Go once upon a time!!
The drop was in it’s range.
@rob60990
Regarding The Good Wife vs Revenge : let’s wait for the final adjustments before sorting out the winner of this non-existent war ?
Apparently, still no life for you since last week, but could you annoy someone else and leave The Good Wife alone ? Thanks !
Nobody ever said The Good Wife was going to beat Revenge : these 2 shows don’t aim at the same public and one’s “victory” over the other doesn’t mean anything for their fate.
Oh, and, could you please give a single reason for the people who watched 60 Minutes to also watch The Good Wife ? Is there a law or something about it that I missed ?
So the Good Wife is one-tenth away from tying “Revenge” in the 18-49 demo, while meanwhile attracting 4 million (!) more eyeballs in the Over 49 demo.
Both Revenge and Scandal are both going to be renewed. So who cares, Max?
Next week Revenge will be facing the AFC championship on CBS and then the Grammys next month
Yay Bob’s Burgers! It’s really growing this season. I think it’s one of its best ratings without the Football lead-in.
@Petar
CBS have Grammys
abc Oscars
NBC golden globes
and Emmys for all networks is that correct?
CBS – Grammy Awards, Tony Awards, ACM Awards, People’s Choice Awards
ABC – Academy Awards, CMA Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards
NBC – Golden Globe Awards, NAACP Image Awards
FOX – American Country Awards, Teen Choice Awards
Rotating – Primetime Emmy Awards
That’s most of them…
Bob’s Burgers is doing a great job this season. Fox made the right call starting this show in the Fall this time around. Its audience keeps growing and can imagine it being able to hold its own in a few years.
Last year’s spring season was quite bumpy and I’m glad to see that it hasn’t been the case so far here. (I know it already got renewed for a 4th production cycle of episodes, but good/great are certainly nice to see)
