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?
love the show Gibbs is the man! please no English speaking agents I cant understand them! my hubby already uses closed caption, I will lose interest like jar jar binks who can understand what they are saying?
Love ncis While I will miss Tony, it is time for him to move on Ziva has been gone for 3 years now Get over it !! They were both SUPPORTING Roles I do really like Gibbs / Fornell story lines Would hate to see Fornell go Would love to see a little more of Dr Taft And more Dr Grace Thought the British Mi6 character had possibilities and could see him fitting in TOTALLY DID NOT care for FBI Tess Really hoping she is just temp to give time for Fornell to recover She is arrogant, out of line… Read more »
I love NCIS … I never want it to cancel. I also wonder how the ratings are calculated. I dvr all of my shows and I tend to watch my shows later in the week or on the weekend. Does that count at all or do they need to be watched within a certain amount of time.
Love NCIS, please keep. You might not keep rating #’s for them, but even my grandkids (7 and under) Can tell you who every character is.
Is this the first time ever that NCIS has dropped below a 2?
just keep the guy from 2&1half men, Allen h. off the show Please
Why? He’s great on the show.
NCIS needs to be cancelled so that other shows can get their fair share of ratings.
I am thinking not sure but that might be a Bernie Sanders supporter.
Most definitely, renew NCIS, please and thank you!
I’ll say this you should all be very grateful too the telly us Brits over here in Blighty have to put up with we dont get viewing figures like NCIS doesplus tv is getting ruined by PC minded obssessed people so sad.
Loved the intro of Agent Val Page of the REACT team- a possible new regular? A spin off? Either way, it smart to keep it fresh with new team members ! Any thoughts on the new team member?
How many of you are thinking the original “NCIS” should surpass the original “CSI”‘s run length (which was 15 seasons)?
So sad to hear that Weatherly is leaving the show – Tony is one of my favorite characters. 🙁 That said, please, please, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE do not have him leaving to be with Ziva. That whole arc was WRETCHED and pulled the show down. I considered throwing in the towel completely because that whole “relationship” was just ruining the show. Getting rid of Ziva, even if it was Cote’s decision, has been a BLESSING as the show finally has new life again and is starting to feel like the fantastic NCIS of early seasons before the… Read more »
Never got into the Ziva role. She wasnt a part of ncis team. Was glad she left.
NCIS is number one and ratings and are every good even if Michael Weatherly is planning to leave.
It would be insane to cancel the most watched show on network tv. Cancel the decision-makers instead. This is the only network show I watch.
This is my Favorite Show
