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.

NBC Community 1.1 18-49 rating
NBC Parks & Recreation 1.5
yipes, what does NBC do now?
Everything they do goes bad
and NBC The Office (9-10PM) 2.0 is in its last year
So are we to believe The Voice is going to crush American Idol this season?
Damn, very bad for Community (lower than Whitney) hope it can recover!
whoa, that was fast. just like that, community is one of the many nbc sitcoms to get cancelled this year. flop
What happen to the site people……spoiler futon criric and others benefit from this mistake. Second time on fridays you have problems – solve them please.
Well I was way off with my Zero Hour prediction, it is DOA, even worse than My Generation!
X-Factor does not look so bad now with those AI numbers, right? How unfortunate that it has such a sharp decline with the new judges. The Voice should easily beat it in the Spring.
On NBC, it’s Parks & Recreation and then everything else when it comes to sitcoms…
WoW, Community is at Whitney Rerun levels. Whitney WILL be back next season.
Series low for The Vampire Diaries ?
Lmao BATB, heading to cancellation
)))
Abc should move scandal next season it has built it’s own audience and no longer needs greys anatomy. Horrible for Zero Hour but it was expected
If you had told me in October that Scandal would beat Grey’s, I’d have called you crazy.
I can’t believe Scandal beats GA in ratings, I can’t say i’m not happy tho’.
Max you are right you’ve predicted that Revenge’s ratings will fall and Scandal’s will rise. Still have hope for Revenge.
RIP BATB…LOL!!! It’s over folks!
funny to see so many drops right after tbtn puts out an article that valentines doesnt hurt the ratings… look like it did to me
Am I seeing stuff? Did Scandal just top Grey? And Glee at a low of 1.8? Clearly the 9pm hour took a little beating this Valentine’s Day!
Great job Scandal! This is ABC’s highest rated drama this week!
A season three is a definite now, nothing is slowing this show down and the press is doing wonders for this show! I’m so glad to see this sleeper hit finally get its shine.
Oh and no one try to suggest Scandal is steady enough to move. ABC has a solid two hour block on their hands and they would be stupid to move either one of them, both would probably tank or at least feel a hit.
Keep the Grey-Scandal duo together on Thursday! This is a winning pair for ABC.
Grey will be back up next week, Valentines Day probably helped do a number on the ratings this week. I doubt it will be seeing this again.
Still strong Person of Interest. As expected with Zero Hour. Scandal doing good.
abc are not so dump and stupid like cbs. They will HEAVY advertise scandal during oscars and will air all new scandal episode and 28 feb. You will see.
I LOVE GREY’S ANATOMY!!!
RIP Scandal
even with low competition can’t even hit a 3.0
YES SCANDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew it could beat GA, I hope it holds/adjust up in finals. Still waiting for Scandal to reach a 3.0. I hope ABC is smart and keeps the GA/Scandal combo together next season
Holy sh*t. I expected a drop for Community. I didn’t expect half the audience to disappear.
Fantastic for Scandal, pretty terrible for just about everything else. Is that a series low for Vampire Diaries?
