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.

My bad. Now i get the point. Sorry, not from US. I agree.
I think what rob60990 meant by New Girl being “lead-in dependent” is that when the show before it is up, so is New Girl. Last week Ben and Kate got a 1.2; with Raising Hope in the 8:30 slot getting a 1.7, New Girl rose significantly. The same thing happened last year with Glee; whenever Glee was new, New Girl went up. Even if it rated higher than Glee, it gained when Glee was on the air.
Rasing hope should be cancelled its such a dumb show and it does not get good ratings
NBC should have saved Go On and The New Normal until The Voice return, just like they’re doing with Revolution. If they had any chances at winning Tuesdays, those just vanished. If they had any chances at re-building Thursdays next fall, these are vanishing right now.
Good for Vegas and vegas fans.
“Go On”, “The New Normal” and “Happy Endings” are all dead shows just filling up the schedule.
Gene, next week is Emilys series finale
@Brian J — You said it yourself — CBS needs new comedies, not hand-me-downs from another network. Of all the networks, CBS is the LEAST likely to pick up another netork’s show. Almost every year, CBS cancels shows whose ratings would make them winners on other channels.
Wow, except for New Girl, the ratings for all the Tuesday sitcoms are terrible.
I’m still rooting for Vegas.

“Why in the world is CSI a repeat tonite? Aren’t we going into sweeps?!”
February is sweeps month. My calendar still says January.
@Melanie:
Maybe I should have clarified my remarks with “comedies that will be around for a few more seasons and/or are well reviewed.”
At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if Ryan Murphy is already in talks with FOX to bring TNN with them and have it air after Glee. Which is how it was meant to be, according to very early claims when the show was not yet picked up by any network…
@rob60990
Then tell me why a show like The Mentalist, which pulled the same ratings as Vegas last sunday, with lower viewership, only The Makeover to compete with, and is not produced by CBS, has a better shot at renewal than Vegas at this point.
NBC needs to take Go On and The New Normal off their schedule untill The Voice returns. They are dying without The Voice lead in.
The Neighbors and Suburgatory are on tonight without The Middle and Modern Family? What are ABC thinking with their ridiculous scheduling?
@ryan
Raising Hope is one season away from syndication. No chance in hell that it’s getting cancelled this season, or even next season. If it continues to pull in these ratings, FOX will deem it a success by their standards and keep it around. Same thing for Mindy Project.
New Normal ratings are terrible. I am so glad I am only renting a house in LA and did not buy. A Bloop to the people who are watching and a Blonk to those who are not! Do you people not realize that I am on this show??
Why did NBC give Parenthood a short season. Dateline sure won’t do as well?
@Mark
NBC just do bad with comedies. The new normal was 1.5 and with the voice. Now is 1.1 not big difference.
NBC must do reality shows and serialized dramas on cable format. THey has The voice but also The apprentice, the biggest loser, fashion star, AGT and all are working fine and are cheaper. Eva Longoria reality show will start soon too.
Looking good for Whitney now. Even Guys With Kids might now be on the bubble. We will see tomorrow.
NCIS dominant again, amazing considering it wasn’t a hit out of the gate.
@ RG-X
I’m pretty sure sweeps start Thursday.
