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.

What is going on with 2 Broke Girls? It was supposed to be the big 9:00 anchor, and now it’s getting beat by How I Met Your Mother?
I so enjoy TCD. Really hope these numbers are good enough for a renewal. It’s such a charming little show.
To the people here that call Chicago fire a flop please look at Deception numbers…
I don’t think that’s horrible for 2 Broke Girls, nor do I think CBS regrets moving it to 9pm to anchor the night. It will take a while, sure, for it to be able to bring in monster ratings week in week out, but they were patient with TBBT on Thursdays and now look at it!
Rules of Engagement is, of course, done, and I am starting to wonder if there is a future for Mike and Molly beyond the 4th season for syndication purposes (not that its ratings don’t justify renewal on their own, don’t get me wrong).
Fox has got to be happy with the Bones/Following combo. Too bad TF can’t run in the fall and spring, their Mondays would be covered for next season and they could start focusing on the mess on all the other days, except Wednesdays.
Hopefully Castle adjusts up. That’s a pretty tame result for such a big episode.
The CW’s Monday night line-up makes me sad…
CW should pull Nikita off Friday, it could get a .5 Mon-Th…send 90210 to Friday
CW will canceled TCD.
half hours?
Its a shame The CW will probably cancel a show like TCD which shows promise of building audience to keep a ratings dud like Nikita.
I’m not saying those 2BG numbers are bad, but they have to be disappointing for CBS. This show looked like a legitimate smash last season. It beat Two and a Half Men a few times. It seems like going against The Voice really stalled its momentum.
90210 is trash. Get rid of it already CW.
Both TCD and BATB deserve to get cancelled, and probably will.
So happy TF didn’t drop too much. Love the show!!
Even though I don’t watch ABC’s reality crap Monday stuff or CASTLE quite happy to see their numbers up because that means SPOTS during the OSCARS worked.. REALLY REALLY hoping NASHVILLE benifits too.
i don’t see why cw doesn’t announce this is the final season of 90210 now…repeats of anything could beat 90210
I don’t get how people are watching the Carries Diaries…such horrid acting and writing.
2 Broke Girls needs to keep dropping. It’s terrible. Like a UPN type show.
@BigBrotherFan: ABC’s numbers aren’t up
This is going to be the high point for the CBS comedies. Once spring comes and The Voice returns the numbers will almost certainly go down.
BigBrotherFan@
Castle didn’t get a single promo during Oscars.
I think I missed something. Wasn’t ABC supposed to double-up episodes of Happy Endings in late February? They didn’t do it last week and they’re not doing it this week. Did ABC cancel it already?
