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?
Young Sheldon.. HATE the sister! Profanity!!!! Mean girl! Unlikeable character!!! The mother would not allow her daughter to talk that way! So disappointed!
Illogical, a Christian mother would teach her daughter better than that. Sheldon and his mother and brother are relatable.
Get rid of that girl! Horrible voice!!
