You can see TV ratings from other recent Overnight ratings reports here.
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 baseball 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.
@Briek
How big of an increase did The Office get from The 40-Year Old Virgin? I want numbers.
The five first season episodes airing on Tuesday averaged a 2.5 rating (the premiere had a 5.0, but that was inflated by The Apprentice on Thursday).
The ten Tuesday episodes that fall averaged a 3.9 rating.
Elementary – Jonny Lee Miller do not has Sherlock Holmes charisma. when he talks, he talks like he is in some competition where contestant require to talk as fast as he can to win $10000000000000000000 prize! (meh). sometimes i don’t even undersand or can catch-up to what the hell is he talk about just now.
Elementary is really a bad bad show. shame CBS put so much hope for this disaster show. thanks by the way Jonny to kill one of my fav character – sherlock holmes!
Looks like we got another troll and he is jT. MAX is all of a sudden gone and supposedly loves Revenge and doesn’t care about Scandal meanwhile now we have jT hating on Scandal saying the same thing over and over again. My answer to his question is NO Django has nothing to do with Scandal’s success. It started rising way before that. Credit is to the Gladiators. Am i the only seeing the pattern??
Do No Harm sucked, but not THAT much. Wow.
POI
Forget the Kerry Washington/Django promotion… I’m giving Max the credit. LOL I didn’t even know this show existed until he started posting “Scandal vs. Revenge” Obviously, not everyone reads this board, but it does seem that it started getting more attention around that time.
Whatever the reason, there is no denying that this show has grown. I still don’t watch the show, but it seems like people are tuning in.
@ Briek,
NBC moved The Office to their “must see TV” thursday line-up which influenced their ratings a lot more than 40 year old virgin did.
@Joseph
How does my statement of The Voice has catched up with Idol in only 2 years time sound asinine to you?
Voice, first 3 weeks…
4.2, 4.0, 3.4
4.7, 4.7
4.4, 4.2
Idol first 3 weeks…
6.0, 5.6
5.5, 5.2
5.5, 4.5
Per hour averages…
The Voice – 4.3
American Idol – 5.5
im not hating.
Congrats scandal fans for eclipsing community fans on being the most arrogant fans on this site.
@Ultima
“Sure. Steve Carrel in The 40 Year Old Virgin and The Office.”
Do you happen to know any examples of this happening with a non-comedy/ drama? Just curious.
@Joseph
Also, I do realize that Idol will continue to decline. However, The Voice is also declining (it was down 14% from season 2 to 3).
BATB being rock steady while others lose including TVD who lost 500k viewers. Cancel Hart of Dixie and put BATB on Tuesday.
In yesterday thread I said how long would it be before the major nets (CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX) saw CW like numbers and consider themselves lucky…. Well Do No Harm’s premiere achieved CW type numbers this time around… Now I’m just waiting for the NBC press release telling me how well it really did
ABC is obsessed with G’s A and Scandal, this is the reason why others ABC shows have flopped in demo and audience, all of them.
ABC is falling into pieces.
what’s so bad about admitting the promotion, buzz, scandal*, and movie release helped scandal?
GO TVD, BATB will be renewed for sure
Ouch at AI. I was thinking maybe it could stay in the 5′s throughout the season, while The Voice is comfortable in the 4′s, but now it seems it has entered “The Voice” territory and getting ready to go even lower.
I LOVE BATB||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| PLEASE DON´T CANCEL
@ Ultima, that was because of the SuperBowl though..
Lol at “Do No Harm”… I thought it would at least get a 1.7 and drop considerably from there.
“Scandal”! O.o
Poor “Glee”… The best lead-in available to try and revive it and it only gets a 2.1. “New Girl” got a 2.6 without that big of a lead-in!
