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 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.

Not surprised at Arrow, it’s really hit it’s stride from the midseason finale on, well the first one back “Firebug” wasn’t good but other than that…
@Jay – Let’s hope. But since they haven’t mentioned the angel tablet and Crowley and the angels seem to be all over it, I don’t know if the boys will have anything to do with it. I can only hope that your scenario comes into play, but I have heard absolutely nothing about Dean’s purpose at all. Still, I’m keeping an open mind and am still hoping for something!
@ BigBrotherFan
Your rant about CBS is such NONSENSE! You watch more CBS shows than I do & I’m pushing 60! TGW is the only show I watch every episode & H50 and BB are the only others I watch sporadically (maybe 6 ep’s for H50 & 10 for BB this season). You shouldn’t be capping on basic English skills, either (just read your post) SO THERE!!
Great for Arrow!!
@Also, the collapse of Survivor is very interesting for the whole CBS situation. If they do reduce it to one cycle to be shared with The Amazing Race on Sundays, which would be a good move IMO, they would have enough room on the schedule to launch three new dramas, as they would have the Vegas slot, the survivor slot and the made in jersey slot if they hold undercover boss. However, I think there is a chance they go for an hour of single cam comedy (and Wednesdays at 8 might be that), judging by their pilot orders this year. Whether that means they would launch only 2 new dramas or stick with 3 new dramas + the singe cam comedy hour I have no clue
ME: Or CBS can move TBBT on wednesdays at 8 and put POI as anchor on thursdays or single cams on thursdays as lead-in. TBBT will be the same if not even bigger(no football games in the fall on wednesday) on wednesdays. But still think these single cams will flop big time.
Idol will be down to low 3s by the end of the season. In my opinion, it has at most 4 seasons remaining, provided that the judges panel is replaced every season to prevent 30% drops in viewership.
@CBSViewer
Hopefully this episode of CSI won’t count for the Show’s Renewal.
Why wouldn’t it? Also, why would anyone think that CSI is even remotely in danger of cancellation?
@Potato
Uhhhh…NO. She has no class and did you see her at the GLODEN GLOBES? Did she arrive in a mobile home by chance..OH WAIT! Of course she didnt because her parents paved the way for her `stardom`.
Just look at the context of the stuff she writes…she is ALL THE QUALITIES you mentioned above and worse.
LMAO AT THAT ARROW PIC…HHAHA I`m sorry BUT ISN`T the ARROW character supposed to be born in 1985? LMAO AMELL LOOKS CLOSER TO 40 in that pic..OH WAIT..HE IS!!!! Atleast Katie Cassidy looks her freakin age.
The Neighbors is doing pretty good all things considered. It isn’t a hit by any means but it is a consistent performer for ABC. It will be renewed and probably shipped off to Friday.
So sad that GWK has fallen to cancellation levels. It’s a great show that you can watch with the whole family (which is rare nowadays) and has a great cast. Shame it couldn’t have picked up more a fan-base… I bet if it was on ABC instead of NBC it would have flourished.
NBC should move CF to 9:00. It can do well without any lead-in!
NBC should revamp its all comedy shows. But Guys with Kids has been neglected by NBC like Community.
Arrow has been consistently good in quality. I’m glad the ratings have kept up with it.
The Middle was really sweet last night with its Valentine episode. Leave it where it is on Wednesdays – it’s the most family friendly comedy in that lineup so it’s good to be on early. GWK is funny, that one guy yelling “DJ Christoph!” made me laugh. I’m going to watch Middle again and then catch up on last night’s SPN. Hope everyone has a nice Valentine’s Day.
Yeah SPN!
I LOVED the episode. I feel like SPN is finally getting back some heart. I loved that the relationship between the brothers was back front and and center.
I did not enjoy the first half of the season. It just did not feel like SPN to me. But I have been really enjoying the last 4 episodes.
@Big Brother Fan:
Sorry, my bad. I interpreted you wrong.
@Oldman
I watch ON CBS
The Good Wife – Yes, takes more than BASIC ENGLISH skills to get that one.
Survivor
Vegas- Fun mindless
…Thats it for CBS.
Cougar Town is doing great for cable (and a netwokr switch/cancellation).
Carrie Diaries kept its head above water when it was supposed to be DOA.
If anyone objects, tell me what would YOU place higher than my rankings.
Nice job Arrow and Supernatural
Ouch for CSI which got only 2.1 and 9.13 milion viewers. U less it gets adjusted up, it does worse than H50.
@ Tessa
I haven’t watched any Arrow ep’s at all this year. How far back should I go? I stopped because of the stupid relationship stuff.
@matt who said:
Survivor flop
Are you CRAZY? Survivor is 20 years show. Is not flop. Most of the shows are 6-7 years. Hit scripted shows. Just past its time and cbs made bad decision making with these 2 cycles. But in the end of the season will be below 2.0. I guess around 1.6-1.8.
Rob is right…some people may have been out for evening masses for Ash Wednesday.
