Rating the Ratings: It's quite a testament to the NCIS ratings trajectory that -11% is the worst year-to-year trend in the decade-long history of the show. But in one of the more brutal recent years for broadcast TV, even the usually steady CBS procedurals weren't immune. It had a particularly rough fall as it dueled with the stout fall season of The Voice. Several of its data points around that time were down 20%+ year-to-year. But it basically held its fall raw numbers for most of the second half of the season, even growing during The Voice's hiatus, so the year-to-year gap closed considerably. And going -11% allowed the show to widen its lead as the top broadcast drama. Grade: B-.
Here's the now updated War of 18-49 post for NCIS.
