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.

Oh My 90210… Why? It’s so good!
TCD falls, hoping it gets cancelled
i feel like if TCD doesn’t adjust up, it might be gone. damn it.
bye bye Carrie and 90210.
The Bachelor did amazing, and ABC winning a Monday in how long?
CASTLE!!! Let’s go even higher for part 2 next week!
Here are the halves (per Marc Berman)
The Bachelor 2.7 8.77/ 3.0 9.13/ 3.1 9.35/ 3.3 9.68
Castle 9.78 2.3/ 2.2 9.55
Bones 2.0 7.94/ 2.2 8.69
The Following 2.8 8.36/ 2.9 8.26
TCD .5 1.27/ .4 1.12
90210 .2 .543 / .2 .520
H50 2.1 9.19 / 1.8 8.80
Biggest Loser 1.9 5.63 / 2.1 5.59/ 2.0 5.36/ 2.2 5.66
Deception 1.3 3.40 /1.1 2.99
@Sarah Bones is already renewed. Why does their ratings even matter. The show will end next year anyway. Their ratings are irrelevant.
The Following!!!! No more Alcatraz comparisons. Fox has a hit on their hands
lololol @ 90210 demo and viewers. they may as well show ringtone commercials for an hour.
and doesnt it have a 24 eps season as welll.
time to wrap this mess up
Why is The Bachelor doing so well this cycle?
In the race between TCD and BaTB it seems like neither one wants to win. I don’t envy the CW right now. (well, I don’t envy them for a lot of reasons but making a decision between these two is one of them.)
Castle had an excellent episode and these ratings are fully deserved. I am worried though about H50. These numbers are horrible
It was a solid episode. Hopefully H50 will adjust up in the finals.
H50 needs to move to Tuesday 10/9, put TM on Monday and ship Vegas to Sunday 10/9 to finish out season.
LOL @ TCD AND 90210
Nice – the Following will probably adjust up to 2.9, which would represent a half point increase over last week. No surprise here, expect a new series high next week after yesterday’s night amazing episode.
bubye TCD, i won’t miss you.
Even if Cult is a hit(which i hope so), Hart of Dixie will still be renewed yay!
Bring back The LA Complex!
Glad the following rebounded. I can’t believe people still watch the Bachelor, I mean none of the couples work out, well I think 1 out of how many? I could see watching it if they did, but I guess everyone has a different taste.
@Jeff (Canada)
Two Broke Girls is higher In viewers and equal and demo. So 2BG Highest rated CBS Show of the night.
RIP 90210! RIP Carrie Diaries.
I guess they’ll renew Cult, Hart Of Dixie, Nikita and maybe Beauty and the Beast even if the show doesn’t deserve it with its ratings.
