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.
For more information see Numbers 101 and Numbers 102.
Zooey in her underwear = Ratings! And I hope Vegas continues the trend….
TNN is pulling a 1.1 because it has a 1.2 lead-in. At least it shows a massive retention! Plus Go On is definitely not aimed at the same target as TNN is. Murphy’s show will pull higher demos if it was at the right day and time, after a convenient lead-in.
A few years ago, Fox had wiped out all of their live-action sitcoms for new ones. NBC should follow suit. Go On, New Normal, Guys with Kids and Parks will never grow.
New Girl is by far the most annoying tv show out there. Yay for Mindy lol
@JacobYates
Sure, smart guy! It doesn’t take a 2-year-old to figure out with a cast like that and given the shows production quality it likely ain’t cheap. *rolls eyes*
NEW GIRL definitely the surge last night!! Such a great show and episode!
I hope Hart of Dixie gets adjusted up. It’s the only CW show I watch!
half hours for hod?
NBC should just burn off TNN at 8:00 and 8:30 on March 5 and 12th, move Go On to a thursday timeslot in April,and premiere Hannibal on March 26th.
@Can’t remember:
What I’ve seen of “TNN,” I’ved liked. I think there’s potential with the show. But compared to “HE,” it’s not nearly as well reviewed.
I mention this because I’d classify “HE” as a well reviewed show that needs a better network for a chance to break out, which it might do if it were behind, say, “TBBT” or “MF” again. I like “TNN” as I said above, but there might be less hope for the show because the overall opinion is that it’s just not as good as other shows.
YES! HAHAHA @ HoD! or should I say FoD?
I love how it’s not in the headline because NOBODY cares about it!
Makes me sad to see the Mindy Project at the same level as Raising Hope, since the Mindy project is probably the least funny show in that lineup. Last nights episode was just painful.
Ok Mindy Project is definitely getting renewed, the retention is good, the show is rising. Go On and New Normal need the voice asap, and they need to be moved away from 9pm. And even though Happy Endings rose and ultimately beat New Normal its still not gonna Save the show.
@ AiPod I’m probably shouldn’t even comment on this because I think the show sucks and I don’t watch much network tv because it’s mostly bad. My interest is good scripted tv because I despise reality. When GO was getting a 2.5 TNN was bouncing around a 1.3-1.5. Even then I argued that a 1.5 was bad but Bill said not for NBC. My argument then and still is any show that get’s below a 2 is bad for scripted shows and should be pulled replaced with something well written. Makes no sense I guess from a network model but bad is bad. TNN is BAD and bad leads to even worse…reality. Hope that made sense.
Vegas is fast becoming my favorite drama series. Great blend of storylines yesterday. More people should be watching this show.
I love TNN and have since day one; however, the last 2 eps (especially last night’s) weren’t so great. They’ve turned Ellen Barkin’s into some super insecure dud. The whole story last night was ridiculous and I can’t imagine anyone channel-surfing stopping and watching that crap last night. I’m not surprised about the ratings sliding.
NCIS and LA were the only programs that rated really good last night. Embarrassing all around, Tuesday is so wide open and somebody needs to step up to the plate and challenge CBS. FOX, ABC, and NBC should all be focusing on building up Tuesdays more than any other night for the fall since this seems to be the least competitive night of the week.
NBC is wasting their time and money leaving Go On and TNN there after Off Their Rockers. With the network’s favorite Smash coming back next week they better make an emergency move or that show is going to be DOA. I know some people want a drama there at 9pm and that would be a good move but I would put Whitney and Guys with Kids here. Both shows have proven to do solid when the competition is light so put them in the weakest timeslot of the week instead of letting them die on Wednesdays. They can just burn Go On and TNN off somewhere doesn’t matter where either. I would start the night with SVU repeats on Wednesdays.
FOX really just needs to give up the comedy block and go back to the drawing board with their comedies. FOX should really think about moving X Factor to Tuesdays next year if not get back into the drama game on the night now that The Following might be a solid new hit for them. ABC really crashed tonight also after a solid performance by The Taste last week. They’re just waiting on DWtS clearly.
Last nights episodes of Happy Endings were two of the funniest episodes in a long time. I hope they get adjusted up. ABC made a serious mistake by moving the show to a new date and time. I really hope they give it another chance and renew it for next season.
Well NBC had to rest the Voice. Honestly I am enjoying the little break. I mean by the time it premieres it will have rested for 2 months. I have to say I am not even into Idol as much this season so far cause I just got off watching the Voice all season and X Factor. I wonder how the Voice will do. Honestly CBS should move Vegas to Fridays at 9pm. If I were CBS new Friday lineup as follows:
8pm: The Good Wife(Bill next season as final season)
9pm: Vegas
10pm: Blue Bloods.
@Brain J
If critical acclaim meant anything, Arrested Development would have had Two and a Half Men’s ratings. Happy Endings had its chance.
