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.

Oh, my good friend Betty is doing well on Tuesdays. I daresay it takes me a little while to come home and plant myself in front of the television, so I usually resort to catching the 8:30 show. Cheers, Betty!
Way to go NCIS!! Awesome show last night. I have my fingers crossed that it will be adjusted up and break their old viewership record from season 8!! Great job to all the actors, writers, producers, etc
tuesday is such a bad night. Only strong show is NCIS. Its open door for 9 pm winner. NBC really make big mistake with these comedies. Drama after the voice was best option. Next season they will change it.
This Tuesday comedy-competition is plain stupid. ABC, NBC and FOX are killing each other series by scheduling all of them together. How crazy is that? Changing subject, Ryan Murphy: get your s*ht together! TNN has one of the best casts at the moment and yet the writing is awful. It looks like New Girl. Not that bad, but close. And I love the first episodes of TNN! But not it’s jut boring. They better fix it quick.
Well, at least Happy Endings grew on its lead-in, meaning that it does have an audience. All of those 9pm sitcoms at doing terribly, even New Girl, which is the “buzz” show. The only think I can hope for, as a fan of HE, is that ABC sees it more as a timeslot problem that a problem with the show itself. And that Sony gets reeeallly generous.
Hart of Dixie is doing as good as Beauty and the Beast, without a powerful lead-in like TVD. B&B is in a lot of trouble.
also of note: NBC, which had a relatively weak lineup, beat all-new FOX and almost-all-new ABC on its own (hell, even if ABC had aired something new in the 8 hour, NBC still would have won simply because they would have to hit at least 2.8 to reach a 1.7 average). sure, people will say that the numbers were bad, but things could be a lot worse for NBC than having the #1 non-NCIS show of the night (Parenthood) and a reasonable 2-hour comedy lineup edging into the high 1s.
ABC’s just dead on this night. FOX has a (mostly) compatible lineup but needs to figure out how it can boost everything.
Just out of curiosity…
NCIS just got its 2nd highest viewership ever, so how come they didn’t get the picture for the top of the post?
Just wondering
Soooooo happy with NCIS’ numbers. The episode was amazing.
HoD was better when it was a fish-out-of-water story. Now that Zoe Hart is practically Southern, the show is not nearly as good.
Looking at these ratings, I’m beginning to think that the networks are kind of destroying themselves by not spacing and scheduling properly their lineups.
For me at least, Monday and Thursday are the days I really tune in to watch Broadcast Television (at least for more than one show). All other days there is only one show or no shows that would attract my attention. Even on this site, we can normally see that the Monday and Thursday threads are the most active (yes.. I’m ignoring the CW posts).
Speaking as an NCIS fan I’ve wondered if NCIS success could simply be that there is ‘really nothing else” on TV that time or night?
@Eridapo
They should be fired for putting New Girl in the midst of nothing. Its 18-34 are still very good. They should have put behind American Idol.
Happy endings is dead…No excuses for HE losing to Go on . HE is in the 3rd season and losing to a newbie is not good..
fox must go to all new comedies next season.(3 new and new girl) ANd they must put one hour AI before NG this season to revive it.
Not that many NCIS fans post here. The shows that get the picture are usually the ones that drive traffic to the site because they have a legion of crazy fans (see Chuck, Fringe, or any CW show)
one more comment before I head off to bed…
viewership figures don’t matter, sure, but…
CBS. 16.957
UNI+NBC+ABC+FOX+CW=16.963
One broadcast network was 7,000 viewers away from beating the total viewership figures of the other five COMBINED. wow.
It was ugly last night with everything dipping below 2.0 with the exception of both NCIS shows. Tues in general needs an overhaul & I agree the 3 way comedy block at 9pm isn’t helping anyone.
@Eridapo
Ding ding ding!!! With just a little competition, NCIS goes down (see just a few months ago). Last year its repeat got a 2.2 , so no matter how they spin it, it’s losing steam, but thanks to a weak competition still its numbers seem huge when they aren’t.
Look at yesterday competition: nothing on cable and almost nothing on broadcast.
Damn NCIS LA lost a whole point. And Vegas just horrible….
FOX should cancel “Ben and Kate” and put a repeat of a high-rated half hour show (“Family Guy” comes to mind) in its place to see if the night improves (similarly to CBS Mondays).
FOX is airing 2 new “Mindy Project” episodes (one at 8:30 and one at 9:30) in two weeks and it should do better than 1.1 and maybe improve “New Girl” a bit… Still doubtful it will do much but FOX should take more risks…
