Spotted Ratings, Monday 8/26/19

FINALS UPDATE: Bachelor in Paradise (1.2) adjusted up.

Spotted Ratings, Sunday 8/25/19

FINALS UPDATE: The $100,000 Pyramid (0.7), Big Brother (1.2) and NFL Preseason Football (1.5, +0.2) adjusted up while To Tell the Truth (0.5), Instinct (0.3) and America's Got Talent (R) (0.5, -0.2) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC's first two game shows (0.8/0.6) were even while To Tell the Truth (0.6) had a small rebound. But Big Brother (1.1) lost some of the steam it picked up last week, and a double-dip of What Just Happened??! with Fred Savage actually produced a 0.1 in its special 8:30 episode.

• NBC was the one with a national preseason game this week (1.4/1.5/1.1), and it looks to have done similar to or a bit better than last week's Fox game.

• The Big Brother uptick on Sunday continued to Wednesday (1.3), where it tied its season high again and was up by 0.2 from last Wednesday. NBC was even with America's Got Talent (1.1) and Songland (0.7), while Hollywood Game Night (0.4) got even lower in a move to Wednesday 10/9c (tying last week's The InBetween finale).

• And the CW's Hypnotize Me (0.2) is looking to join Pandora as a second CDub original to hit 0.2 this week after multiple episodes at 0.1.

FINALS UPDATE: Grand Hotel (0.4) and The Late Late Show (R) (0.3) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• ABC's Bachelor in Paradise (1.4/1.3) began the week on an up note, tying or exceeding its season high. It came at the expense of NBC, which was down with American Ninja Warrior (0.8) and Dateline (0.5)

• On the CW, I Ship It (0.1) became the latest CW Seed comedy to get a tryout on the main network.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Celebrity Family Feud (0.8) was back to originals, but it was no help to The $100,000 Pyramid (0.6) and To Tell the Truth (0.5) which each fell to season lows.
  

• CBS' Big Brother (1.3) and the 9/8c edition of Instinct (0.5) are both eyeing season highs, though CBS numbers might be slightly affected by a small late afternoon NFL overrun. Fox won the evening with a national preseason NFL game (1.2/1.2/1.0).

Spotted Ratings, Wednesday 8/14/19

FINALS UPDATE: Big Brother (1.1) and BH90210 (1.0) adjusted up.

WHAT MATTERS:

• BH90210's run as a sensation was short-lived, as it took a whooping 40% week two drop to a 0.9 in week two. It barely edged its MasterChef lead-in (0.8) in adults 18-49, and again went well behind it in adults 18-34 (0.3 vs. 0.5).

• America's Got Talent (1.1) began its Wednesday run, down around 25% from the 1.5 with which it opened on Wednesday last year (similar to its Tuesday declines this season). It led into the original return of Songland (0.7) at 9/8c, but The InBetween (0.4) couldn't benefit at 10/9c.
  

• Elsewhere, Big Brother (1.0) was down a notch in a move to the 8/7c hour, while Card Sharks (0.5) and Match Game (0.5) finished their runs even with last week.

A18-49+ Season Comparison Chart (thru 2018-19)

This is an interactive chart allowing you to compare seasonal A18-49+ ratings (through 2018-19) for up to three different shows. It includes the 149 broadcast scripted shows with at least a 250 Career A18-49+, the same shows included on the Career A18-49+ Sortable Table.

Career A18-49+ Sortable Table (thru 2018-19)

This is the Career A18-49+ sortable table, with A18-49+ numbers that can be used to evaluate the full run of a series. This includes Career A18-49+, the sum of each individual season's historical-adjusted A18-49 rating, as well as how many times each show went over some of the A18-49+ label thresholds.

A few quick notes about what's in here:

• This includes all 149 broadcast scripted series with a career A18-49+ total of 250 or higher. Unlike in previous years, that means a handful of netlet shows are in the mix (though of course they can be filtered out easily). The 45 "hit for CW" and 35 "solid for CW" labels are applied to the "hit" and "solid" counts for those shows.
• This number will be incomplete for shows that aired before 2001, but to help account for this, the number of missing seasons is included in parentheses under the "Seasons" column. You can also filter in or out the shows that have missing seasons, as well as the shows still "active" (and thus still adding to their counts).

WHAT MATTERS:

• In the specials world, two hours of gymnastics coverage on NBC (0.5/0.6) handily outrated an invisible Teen Choice Awards on Fox (0.2/0.3).

FINALS UPDATE: Bulletproof (0.1) adjusted down.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Fox got a strong start from its revival BH90210 (1.5). It's one of the biggest premieres for a summer scripted series on record, scoring roughly the same Plus as the Under the Dome premiere back in summer 2013. The lead-out juice also helped lift MasterChef to its first 0.9 of the season.

• The CW launched a new original lineup with drama Bulletproof (0.2) and reality Hypnotize Me (0.1), scoring pretty standard ratings for the netlet in the summer. The originals on ABC (0.6/0.5/0.5), CBS (0.5/1.1) and The InBetween (0.4) all matched last week.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Bachelor in Paradise (1.1/1.0) was weaker in its first Tuesday episode, but still had about the same raw numbers as the early Tuesday episodes last season.
  

• Facing Paradise instead of last week's The Bachelorette finale and a presidential debate, America's Got Talent (1.3/1.6) and Bring the Funny (0.9) both rebounded by multiple tenths.

• Elsewhere, First Responders Live (0.4) moved to Tuesday, handing its Wednesday slot off to BH90210. CBS was even with Love Island (0.4) and Blood and Treasure (0.3) as was the CW with Pandora (0.1) and the season finale of The 100 (0.2).

• Fox was on the uptick with Beat Shazam (0.6) and So You Think You Can Dance (0.5), while the originals on NBC (0.8/0.9/0.6) and CW (0.2/0.2) along with CBS' Love Island (0.4) were even-ish.
