CBS put out a press release yesterday that noted that across the board for the prime time schedule last week from Monday to Wednesday, the total viewers went up by at least one million from live plus same day viewers to live plus three days viewers, many shows were up by 1.5 million; and equally sized increases in the demos.

Hopefully, we'll get to see those numbers for TAR late this week or next week.

[SuperTux]

Where can I get 18-49 ratings/share rankings for a week?

[mswood]

Besides something like the usatoday Wednesday paper and the la times paper most web sites are prohibited from providing a list of all shows.

Top twenty, top thirty can be found.

To get the full info from the web you basically need to compile it yourself from sites that provide final numbers for each night.

Top 20 shows ranking list in a week is ok for me. I thought I could find it on Zap2it.com, but this site seems to provide rankings in terms of viewers (households) only, not of 18-49 demographic data.

[mswood]

Tvbythenumbers has a top twenty list.

[SuperTux]

Tvbythenumbers has a top twenty list.

Finals

After not making the top 30 in either demo or viewers this week, thank you NFL overrun, we were 34th in both, just slightly ahead of survivor in both viewers and demo.

TAR
10.873 million viewers
3.2 adults 18-49, 4.063 million adults 18-49 watched

Survivor
10.707 million
3.2 adults 18.49, 4.056 million adults 18-49

[Jobby]

IS THIS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE MORE RATINGS THAN SURVIVOR?

[georgiapeach]

  WOW, slightly ahead of Survivor is huge!!

[mswood]

No we have beat survivor before, though it's I believe only happened twice before.

[Plaidmoon]

It's great we beat Survivor, but I'm guessing it means Survivor's ratings are way down rather than TAR doing better in the ratings. 

[Chateau d If]

This Zap2it article indicates that it may have something to do with Andy!

It also has us at 13 million 

8 p.m.:

NBC: "Football Night in America" (12.5 million, 7.5/12)/ "NBC Sunday Night Football" (19.1 million, 11.5/17)
CBS: "The Amazing Race XIX" (13 million, 7.8/12)

Note:  DVR penetration is at 42%, up from 38% last year. Last Fall, Live+7 audiences for original entertainment series on CBS gained over 1.8 million viewers, on average, over Live+ Same Day ratings, more than any other network.  This season, we expect DVR penetration to continue to increase and, as a result, we expect DVR playback audiences to grow to as well.

That note at the end is very important. It suggests that TAR is actually getting 12.5 millioin or more viewers as a weekly average, and with comparable increases in both demographic groups.

It does confirm that TAR has beaten Survivor in the weeklys for the second time.

[Plaidmoon]

Do you suppose we could get Morley Safer to retire this week? 

[mswood]

Zap2it needs to do some research.  60 minutes typically on the double header for football sees enormous growth.  60 minutes had a fairly typical decline every 15 minutes from after the double header overrun.

If it was due to Andy the show should have had a smaller drop offin the half hours.

[Dom]

My only concern with the increase in viewers from the season premiere is that CBS might see that as a result of the double elimination, and start ordering more and more of these game-changing twists that I'm not too fond of!

[Jobby]

No... Double eliminations... No more... T_T

[SuperTux]

My only concern with the increase in viewers from the season premiere is that CBS might see that as a result of the double elimination, and start ordering more and more of these game-changing twists that I'm not too fond of!

They may order twists like double-speedbump

Running opposite a NFL primetime game and a World Series game is tough

[georgiapeach]

At least we rebounded some. I think Survivor is also down.

[Plaidmoon]

Running opposite a NFL primetime game and a World Series game is tough

The new ABC show Once Upon A Time had big ratings too. According to what I saw elsewhere, TAR was actually last in it's time slot among the traditional networks even though there numbers were up from last week. Go figure.

The good news is that the World Series will be over by next week and Once Upon A Time will likely lose some of it's viewers. The bad news is that we have one TV and my wife wants to watch Once Upon A Time.   

[georgiapeach]

That's what DVR's are for.    I liked it too, but hey, we all know TAR comes first.

We need a good week, hope Africa works its magic!!

[walkingpneumonia]

In Canada, Once Upon A Time is the lead in (7pm) for TAR (8pm) - which resulted in TAR being the 2nd most watched show for the week after Big Bang!

From CTV... http://bit.ly/uQh2mQ

Toronto, ON (October 24, 2011) – Canada is spellbound for ONCE UPON A TIME. The series premiere of the new drama enchanted 1.76 million viewers in a stand-alone broadcast at 7 p.m. on CTV last night, becoming the most-watched series premiere in that timeslot on record in Canada.* The series debut won the timeslot with more viewers than Global, Citytv and CBC combined, and ended the night as Sunday’s second most-watched program overall following THE AMAZING RACE (2.61 million viewers). ONCE UPON A TIME immediately becomes Canada’s #1 new drama for females aged both 18-34 and 18-49. The episode is available now on demand on the CTV Video Player at CTV.ca.

ONCE UPON A TIME is also the #2 debut of a new drama this fall and positions CTV with the Top 5 series premieres on Canadian television, including THE X FACTOR (2.2 million), WHITNEY (2 million), PAN AM (1.9 million) and UNFORGETTABLE (1.7 million).**

In the U.S., ONCE UPON A TIME debuted last night at 8 p.m. as television’s #1 new drama of the season with A18-49, opposite stiff competition from Fox’s World Series Game 4 and NBC’s Sunday Night Football.***

Overall, it was a magical Sunday for CTV as the network delivered the Top 4 most-watched television programs, winning each hour of primetime (7-11 p.m.) both nationally and in all metered markets in total viewers, A25-54 and A18-49.

At 7 p.m.
• ONCE UPON A TIME saw growth throughout the hour to peak with 1.98 million viewers, and had nearly 4 million unique viewers that watched some or all of the broadcast.
• The series premiere was the #1 program overall on Canadian television Sunday night among young women (F18-34).


At 8 p.m.
• THE AMAZING RACE was the top program of the day, attracting million plus audiences among A25-54 (1.18 million) and A18-49 (1.14 million)
• THE AMAZING RACE becomes the most-watched program of the week following THE BIG BANG THEORY (3.6 million, Thursday).

[georgiapeach]

"THE AMAZING RACE" DASHES OFF TO ITS LARGEST AUDIENCE OF SEASON

            THE AMAZING RACE dashed off to its largest audience of the season, according to Nielsen preliminary live plus same day ratings for Sunday, Oct. 30.
 

THE AMAZING RACE 19 (6.8/10, 10.94m) averaged a 4.1/09 in adults 25-54 and 2.9/07 in adults 18-49 from 8:30-9:30 PM.  THE AMAZING RACE 19 posted its largest audience this season.  Compared to last week, THE AMAZING RACE 19 was up +15% in households (from 5.9/09), +11% in adults 25-54 (from 3.7/08), +7% in adults 18-49 (from 2.7/06) and added +1.34m viewers (from 9.60m, +14%). 

 

Note:  CBS had a 30-minute delay due to late running football coverage in most ETZ/CTZ markets. Ratings for CBS are tentative and subject to change.

Updated Sunday ratings will be available tomorrow.

[dryedmangoez]

Yeah, it sucks Once Upon a Time is doing excellently. lol It certainly doesn't help TAR.

[mswood]

Final Ratings
11.01 million viewers
And a 3.0 in adults 18-49

One thing people need to realize is how much Good Wife is killing us.  It dropped to a 2.0 in adults and 10.6 million viewers.

Out of all shows that have followed us on Sunday it's percentage drops from TAR is the largest.

It sucks the life out of the night, even CSI Miami does better and the 10pm shows have never done better then the 9m shows.

[georgiapeach]

I love this though!! Thank goodness for Football! 11+ MILLION?? That's GREAT for us, right??!!

[dryedmangoez]

More important than the 11 million viewers is the 3.0 demo! 

Patriots-Steelers would no doubt be a big draw on the East Coast (more so than Cleveland and my 49ers which also went over, hehe). So yay for the boost!

About The Good Wife, I think CBS hoped TAR's younger audience would boost TGW's demos but maybe it actually is doing the opposite.  TGW certainly hasn't benefited from the move.  They're doing exactly the same business on Sundays as they did on Tuesdays.  CBS will just have to be content that The Good Wife is not going to be a show that draws in the youngins.

[SuperTux]

Ratings/Share (18~49 demo)  Viewers/million (From TVBytheNumbers)

TAR S19E07: 2.6/6 9.98

Once Upon a Time: 5.3 3.7/9 11.38

Sorry that I posted the wrong data for Once Upon a Time.

The ratings 5.3 for Once Upon a Time refer to DVR ratings for the week of Oct. 17-23 (Nielsen's Live +7 ratings).

[LoveRocked]

Ratings (18~49 demo)

TAR S19E07: 2.6

Once Upon a Time: 5.3

WOW! Once Upon a Time really strong rating!

[SuperTux]

Ratings (18~49 demo)

TAR S19E07: 2.6

Once Upon a Time: 5.3

WOW! Once Upon a Time really strong rating!

Sorry, I made it wrong... I've modified my post.
Once Upon A Time slipped a little in its third week, but it was only down 5% to a 3.7 adults 18-49 rating.

Finals:

Net    Show                    18-49 Rating/Sh    Viewers (Millions)
ABC    Once Upon A Time    3.8/9                    11.45

CBS    Amazing Race            2.7/6                     9.73

[theschnauzers]

Keep in mind that CBS estimates that the number of viewers who can time-shift viewing is now at 43 percent of all households. The impact of this now amounts to literally millions of viewers even for TAR.
We won't really know what the viewership is for the total audience or the demos until those numbers are available; but the premiere picked up IIRC, over 1.5 million viewers from the overnights or final live plus same day numbers.

THE AMAZING RACE 19 (6.3/09, 10.58m) averaged 3.9/08 in adults 25-54 and 2.7/06 in adults 18-49. Compared to last week, THE AMAZING RACE 19 was up +5% in adults 25-54 (from 3.7/08), even in adults 18-49 and added +850,000 viewers (from 9.73m, +9%).

Keep in mind that CBS estimates that the number of viewers who can time-shift viewing is now at 43 percent of all households. The impact of this now amounts to literally millions of viewers even for TAR.

the largest part of TAR time shifted audience watches it the same day so the bulk of those numbers are reported in final numbers.

Reality shows in general get watched more that same day with DVR then dramas or comedies.

Here's the final ratings numbers from tvbythenumbers.com

Sunday's Final Broadcast Ratings:
Time    Net    Show             18-49 Rating    18-49 Share    Viewers Live+SD (million)
               
8:30PM    CBS    The Amazing Race    2.8                  7             10.240

A good week, we stayed pretty close to past weeks despite the American Music Awards being on against us (at least on the west coast where I am).

Speedos = numbers!

[Plaidmoon]

Here's the early overnight ratings for TAR. It looks like the holiday weekend brought the viewing numbers way down for all shows, especially TAR. Hopefully they will be adjusted upward later this week.

Time    Net    Show                                                                 18-49 Rating/Sh    Viewers (Millions)

9:00    FOX    Family Guy                                                                    2.8/6             5.51
           CBS    The Amazing Race                                                            2.4/5             8.98
           ABC    Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie: Have A little Faith 9-11p    1.1/2             6.48

It's weird that Family Guy beat TAR in 18-49 ratings but TAR had 3.47 million more viewers. TAR viewers must be 50 or older.

Final ratings:
10.15mil viewers
18-49: 2.9/06 (Up from last week)
6.0/9 households
#2 in viewers and demos for timeslot
#18 in viewers for the week.

Well the timeshifted (DVR live Plus 7 data for the 7th and 8th episode are out.  Most of TAR's timeshifting is already included in broadcast Fast Nationals and Final Numbers.  For some reason most Reality shows do very well timeshifted that first night, but do very poorly for the remaining 6 days.

Episode #7
Live Same day (time shifting up to 2am) 9.75 million viewers and a 2.7 adults 18-49.

Live Plus 7 10.727 million viewers  (a 10.2% increase) out of CBS programming only Gifted Man and 60 Minutes increased less.  3.1 adults 18-49 (a 14.8% increase) out of CBS programming only CSI-NY, Gifted Man, and 60 Minutes increased less.

Episode #8
Live Same Day (again timeshifting up to 2am for the first day included in these ratings) 10.27 million and 2.7 adults 18-49.

Live Plus 7 11.266 million viewers (a 9.7% increase) out of CBS only 48 hours and 60 minutes increased less.  3.2 Adults 18-49 (a 18.5% increase).  On CBS only CSI-Miami, Good Wife, Gifted Man, 48 Hours and 60 Minutes, increased less.

[theschnauzers]

Even in those two weeks, the total audience from live plus same day to live plus 7 days increased by just about 1 million. And it got the 18-49 demo back over 3.0.

And it's my understanding that Nielsen is estimating a shrinking national audience due to the economy (now that we're in the fourth or fifth year of the Great Recession.)

[mswood]

The overall decline is slight so far.

We went from 115.7 million households to 114.7 million house holds, statistically not a huge factor.

This is all CBS released today in the weekly ratings press release about TAR on Sunday December 4th:

#15 is GREAT and beating Survivor is AWESOME!! 

[Best Loser]

Where does this season/finale rank in comparison to other seasons?

[dryedmangoez]

Great to see season highs for the finale!  Also big, TAR improved on 60 Minutes' demo numbers, which isn't always the case after an NFL Overrun.

[georgiapeach]

RFF had good ratings too!

We had 936 viewers online!

[SuperTux]

Will the ratings of S20 exceed that of S7?

[Prophet]

I don't know because TAR7 has quite good ratings averaging 12 million viewers a night with the finale bringing in 16 million. Those numbers are better than any from TAR19 which was better than TAR18.

[Jobby]

Whatever it is, as long as it draw more viewers to TAR I'm fine. The last time Jeff and Jordan were on....
