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.

Remember when CBS had such a powerful comedy block? yeah I don’t either.
The Following is really doing well. A real keeper for FOX.
90210 will not die quietly eh?
@TJ The Following is a GREAT show, i think you are not watching the same show.
How i met your mother won the night! That’s great! The following did also good
@rob60990
CBS only has one powerhouse sitcom left and it is airing on Thursdays.
Castle should be a 10.69 for the viwers the 6.45 is for H5O
Oscar promotion helped ABC. Good win for them.
HIMYM beat 2 Broke Girls again. I can see CBS moving it to 9 to anchor the night next year. Good repeat numbers for H50.
The Following looks like a keeper for FOX.
NBC can’t wait for The Voice and Revolution to come back.
I’m curious to see how NBC does on this night when “TV” and “Revolution” come back. If the network is able to see solid results like it did in the fall, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a comedy scheduled for 9:30 next fall. Given its problems, it might be the smartest move it could make.
2 Broke Girls did okay. I bet other networks would like it in their line-up. However, I was hoping it would maintain its 3.5-3.7 rating. Last night’s episode was a big one. Those who haven’t watched it yet better do it soon or else someone else might spoil it for you.
Last night’s The Following was the most ridiculous yet. But I can’t stop watching! I still want to know what will happen. In every episode, it’s my habit to point out all the outrageous things that happened. The result? Watching it never gets boring!
Yay Bones.
And hopefully it will be adjusted up.
Please The Following is not the best show on network tv.
The Following is best new show. If it stays around for 3-4 seasons could be one of the best ever.
Yay Carrie! It will be renewed!
Good for The Following. Really starting to like it now.
Castle lost half of its viewers… wow.
Still a great night for FOX (and okay for CBS).
Castle still living large (though against weak competition this week).
2BG! What happened!? Love this show!
glad tcd at .5 – if it keeps maintaining there, renewal. curious to see how tonight’s cult fares. probably not well, would be my guess.
abc bachelor still has it. crazy, but good for abc.
Umm H50 rerun gets better rating than new Deception? NBC is counting the days that The Voice comes back, as its the only thing that propped their network up, along with Football, which is a long way off.
