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.

@Silvit
Yeah. Fox must be killing themselves for screwing up the Glee/ NG Tuesday nights. Both shows have suffered. Glee is getting destroyed by Greys and POI, and it did not benefit from the XF lead-in. Maybe Idol will revive Glee’s fate, but I think it is already too late.
Go On. It’s sad when a 1.7 is considered “doing well”.
@ash
HE episodes last night was surprisingly not that funny (even Damon Wayans Jr). Mark Paul Gosselar showed that the real star of Saved By the Bell was Screech. The guy is not funny at all. The episode was so bad, that I switched over to Go On.
@senor chang, everyone knows that the Baby Boomers love CBS.
Is this a mistake? Were the NCIS and New Normal numbers switched in error? Blonk!
ABC is too busy promoting the heck out of Scandal to do that. Last Sunday Night and during Castle, every single ABC promo had something to do with Scandal..
@eridapo
Maybe NCIS’s success is linked to the show entering syndication a few years ago ?
Since total viewers doesn’t matter at all, as it’s been repeated on this website billions and billions of time, I don’t think NCIS’s performance is that good !
So far, the series high – from season 8 – is 22.85 million viewers, almost excatly the same as last night, but the 18-34 number was a 4.6, all the way down to, at best, a 3.9 or a 4.0 with the adjustments for last night’s episode.
So it seems that the NCIS public is ageing, and thus that the show is declining. No danger of cancellation in the near future of course… but still, I think it’s worth noticing !
I think the shortened season fr Parenthood benefited them. There were a lot less breaks between episodes and the story lines havn’t been dragged out over the usual 22 episodes. I think the shortened season works. Possibly NBC could go for a 16/18 episode season 5, an uneven number (15) just doesn’t seem right. The quality has went up immensely this season and the acting is above perfect, the shorter season, I think does better, than a long dragged out one.
I love New Girl and Apartment 23 but only one will see a third season. And why the hell aren’t people watching them. Instead you watch soulless series like NCIS sorry but that’s the truth. Shame on you!!!
@Jane
Still, it’s absolutely ridiculous that they could be this far ahead. It’s like they’ve monopolized every viewer in America over the age of 50.
Fox is having a terrible season. They better hope AI doesn’t drop too much tonight. They also are betting the house that The Following hits big. Otherwise, they should just cancel everything new this season and start over.
I love Hart of Dixie. I found it over the winter and streamed everything to catch up. I love all the characters. I hope they renew it!
I still wonder what if NBC put Guys with kids instead of GO ON.
Happy for parenthood. Why doesn’t NBC order more?Is it because of money?
Then do cancel smash.
Sorry, but I had to: last year a repeat of “The Big Bang Theory” (4.29 million viewers, #11; adults 18-49: 1.0, #T11).
This is just insane.
“Is 1.3 for TNN right? TVMoJoe reports it’s 1.5.”
I am reading first to last, so this may have been answered, but TVMoJoe was mistaken.
Parenthood needs 20 episodes to reach syndication status. That is what I look for NBC to give it … Not saying at all that it will be cancelled after that because with these consistent ratings it wont as long as NBC new shows dont have huge ratings. Parenthood has continued to prove it has a dedicated audience that ALWAYS watch it and it is not lead-in dependant. For it to have the same ratings as its first episode this season is something that most shows cannot do.
If NCIS gets adjusted up it could beat its own record in total viewers
@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.
I AGREE!!! Even 2 broke girls was on danger with Partners lead in and was with series lows. I guess these days new shows need at least 2 or even 3 seasons to make loyal, big enough fanbase. BIG MISTAKE.
I’m young, and I love NCIS. I know tons of young people who love it. One of the best shows on TV. And Vegas is good too. I can’t stand any of the NBC and FOX comedies.
@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.
ME: YOu are so smart. Almsot read my mind. That was exactly what i think. And still even with the voice NCIS was 3+ in demo.
@ Bad Wolf,
Yes syndication has played a role in bringing new viewers to NCIS, but when you compare Monday and Thursdays to Tuesday nights you can see that the other networks aren’t even bothering to compete.
In my case for example, my DVR is cranking like Crazy on Monday and Thursday nights. It is often recording more than one show at once, but on Tuesday the only activity my DVR gets is to play what I didn’t watch on Monday…. I tune in to NCIS, but once it is done I’m watching my DVR shows from Monday Night.
