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.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better?
love last man standing and mercy street=would love to see these shows either remain or come back-these are much better than watching the mick etc
I just wanted to thank CBS for renewing Hawaii Five O. I dearley love this show. I am huge fan of Alex O’Loughlin and Scott Caan.
