The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). The demos are typically reported with one decimal place but I’ve included two for more accurate ranking.
Keep in mind that the demo numbers are typically what’s most important to advertisers. Therefore, that’s how the networks measure success. Advertisers pay more for ad time on a show that has a higher demo rating. Because older viewers don’t count? No, it’s because younger viewers watch less traditional TV and are harder to reach.

Love this comparison of all the shows in one place. If it was possible to add the major cable shows in, it would be perfect.
Reports are that Gracepoint surged in the live +3 ratings, up up 46% to 1.9/6.
I don’t know what you’re reading but as far as I know Gracepoint has never done a 1.9 demo in live+3. You can see the live+SD numbers here. http://wp.me/pcisc-8TW
And #Gracepoint posted a +63% gain to a 1.3/4 in the Live +3 ratings.

Slightly different from what I originally read.
Ah, here is my mistake:
She said Live+3s for last Thurs are in, and #Bones grew +46% to a 1.9/6.
And #Gracepoint posted a +63% gain to a 1.3/4 in the Live +3 ratings.

Saddening Gracepoint isn’t doing better. Really great show with fantastic actors and a fantastic, very intricate plot.
Best new show to me is Scorpion. It will grow in ratings even they are good now. I predict it will grow in popularity. Worst new show is Madam Secretary. Boring and predictable with a political agenda. Ratings are okay but I think they will decline after football season and it loses that ratings money maker lead in. Ironically both of these are on the same network.
