via press note:
In Late-Night Metered Markets Tuesday night: * In Nielsen's 56 metered markets, household results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 2.7/7; CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman," 2.7/7; and ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 2.0/5. * In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, adult 18-49 Wednesday results were: "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," 0.8/4; "Late Show," 0.5/3; and "Jimmy Kimmel Live," 0.7/4. * From 12:35-1:05 a.m. ET Wednesday night, ABC's "Nightline" averaged a 1.3/4 in metered-market households and a 0.4/2 in 18-49 in the Local People Meters. * From 12:35-1:35 a.m. ET, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" (1.4/5 in metered-market households) beat CBS's "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" (1.3/5). In the 25 markets with Local People Meters, "Late Night" (0.5/4 in 18-49) topped "Late Late Show" (0.3/2). * At 1:35 a.m., "Last Call with Carson Daly" averaged a 0.9/4 in metered-market households and a 0.3/3 in adults 18-49 in the 25 markets with local people meters.
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.

Ah, rob60990 is back to his baiting ways again
New Girl and Mindy were excellent last night, so glad to see their numbers rise.
I still think it’s too early to send in the Cancellation Bear for “Go On” and maybe even “The New Normal.” As awful as last night’s numbers were, they will almost certainly rise when “The Voice” returns. And if they do well enough there, perhaps Greenblatt, et al at NBC will feel confident enough in another season of at least one of them, probably “Go On.” After all, it’s losing a lot of shows next year, and there are more obvious targets for cancellation. “Parks” and, because of Sony, “Community” might be more worthwhile for renewal, but NBC owns “Go On” and might feel it deserves another shot. And when was the last time a network simply wiped its entire comedy slate clean?
Another point…more people watched the already cancelled Emily Owens…then the probable renewed Hart of Dixie…cancelled too soon anyone
Pretty sure Raising Hope episode 2 was a re-run, which would mean Raising Hope was in-line with last week’s number (since the 8PM episode did a 1.7)
Betty White and unknown senior actors can beat Go On and The New Normal in a worse time slot. Why pay Matthew Perry, Ryan Murphy and Co. to produce these two shows?
If Happy Endings musters low-1s on ABC, the show would be lucky to grab 1.0s on TBS. That’s the only hope though. Better start the campaign.
NBC should have shelved GO and TNN in favor of more episodes of Parenthood.
Sucks for Happy Endings….the show is so funny!
@jT
That doesn’t matter much for a show that starts an hour, so probably not.
@Z
I don’t know exactly what you said, but The Middle is a re-run tonight.
Boy, GO ON has gone to the bottom. I caught the last 15 minutes or so of HOD waiting on 9pm. What an AWFULLY boring one note show. Now the ratings for them make sense to me.
Yay for Mindy.
How can TNN lead in viewers but not in demos?
rob60990
We get it, you hate comedies with strong female leads. Go away.
Just when you think NBC’s sitcoms can’t get any lower…
HoD was adjudted down last week so it lost one tenth this week, not two.
Sorry, I was wrong — Marc Berman’s site has it listed as an encore telecast, but it appears to have been a new one.
What about the second RH episode? It aired at 8:30 and was new, part one of a 2-parter that concludes next week. Not lumped in with the 8 pm episode.
frustraits me that Happy Endings cant get a decent lead in…. such a brilliant show being destroyed by ABC, and New Normal deserves better ratings than that,
Time to dump the dead weight. Yes I mean you The New Normal & Happy Endings.
Fox finally dumped it’s dead weight and is reaping the benefits.
It’s so sad how the CW doesn’t appreciate Emily Owens M.D’s steadiness with a lot of competition.
NCIS THE BEAST !!!!!!!!!!!
