The ratings keep coming down but NCIS remains the most-watched TV show on network television. Will the numbers continue to dwindle downward in season 13? Will it ever be cancelled? Is it already a lock for a 14th season renewal? Stay tuned.
On NCIS, Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and his team of special agents continue to investigate crimes that involve the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Co-stars are Michael Weatherly, Pauley Perrette, Sean Murray, Brian Dietzen, Emily Wickersham, Rocky Carroll, David McCallum, and Mimi Rogers.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
2/29 update: CBS has renewed NCIS for two more seasons. Details here.
5/18 update: You can see the rest of the latest night’s ratings.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated charts, please try reloading the page. You can also see them here.
For comparisons: The 12th season of NCIS averaged a 2.43 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 17.26 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the NCIS TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a 14th season?
FAVORITE SHOW PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL
Omg…. NCIS had become so weird… the team is apart in some way. The interaction between team members lived from small but meaninfull gestures. I don´t see it anymore like that. The plot is not that exciting as it used to be. I can´t watch it anymore. It was renewed for season 14 but i hope there is no 15th. All i wish is a great ending.
Melissa..just because you don’t find it exciting so what..many..many people do and I am one..it’s the best show on tv. It doesn’t make sense if you don’t love a show to take time to comment. .you must be a fan of the competition. .I got your number. Your show can’t compete so you try to throw stones at the best in THE ENTIRE WORLD. .THAT’S RIGHT. .THE BEST IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!
Melissa, my spouse concurs. She barely watches the show anymore and turned last Tuesday’s episode off. NCIS used to be her favorite show.
As for me, I didn’t watch NCIS and did something non-TV related. So I am not a fan of the competition. Sorry Karen for popping your theory..
Don’t cancel so tired of the reality shows
I do not want this show to end. NCIS is my most favorite show in the entire universe of TV. I would love to see it continue for a 14th season.
OKAY …. enough IS enough….. TORNADO’S have just torn through my State and now you say that there is a possibility that you are going to cancel the best show on Network T .V. I went to Netflix so I could watch Longmire. STOP the madness.
I would die if this show was cancelled!!!
Don’t cancel the show please!
please do not cancel get rid of those reality shows the NCISes are all that is good on TV now
plz don’t cancel
plz don’t cancel
This show is so wonderful to watch. It was difficult with Ziva leaving, but I think the team is starting to gel. I am 59 and have been watching it from season 1. I guess I am too old to count now. Come on ratings people, we have all grown older along with our favorite family on tv.
Whats not to love about that one. Even with Ziva gone the show has finally found to its old strength. Watch and enjoy. I know I do.
NCIS is the only show that we watch on commercial television and is the only reason that we haven;t canceled our cable! Please don’t cancel this wonderful show,
Great just found it 6months ago now up to date. UK still waiting on 14
I love watching NCIS. I would hate to see it canceled. I even enjoy watching the reruns that they show.
