The Live+Same Day numbers reported in TVLine’s daily-ish ratings column do NOT reflect a television program’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless specifically denoted in bold as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
NCIS was great last night. I miss ratings about 10 mil or more. In season 10, 11 years ago, episodes was about 22 mil…
With all the cord cutting, not sure how anything can be measured anymore… Even those of us who still watch, don’t watch live… I had a set-top ratings box 10 years ago… not sure how they measure anymore ….
I was a Nielson family a couple years ago. They still have the electronics with a button for each person in the household and a guest button. It reads the signal of the show and whether it is live. DVR, or streaming. They also track what you stream on your computers.
I no longer watch live because my antennae can’t get signal down in a valley surrounded by rocky hills. My grandpa can’t even get CBS because the station tower is too far away. I’m watching on FireTV stick paying for a discounted Paramount+ app subscription (with ads.) I can watch through CBS Website on Silk (FireTV stick) or my laptop internet browser (HDMI connection.) The App is too buggy and ads messes up the streaming of the show. I will not grab again unless a discount/coupon is available. NCIS (foremost!) and Elsbeth and Ghost along barely with NCIS: Hawai’i are the only shows I watch now on CBS since CSI Vegas is cancelled and Young Sheldon is ending. My mom does watch some Paramount + and network shows but that is just a handful. I’ll miss Young Sheldon and especially CSI: Vegas..You see those watch choices plus DVD-r is why live ratings are down plus more younger and elderly people are skipping TV for gaming, social media, content making and simply only watch older shows that the elderly grew up on or reality types like American Picker or Storage Wars.
The guy who played Leon’s son on NCIS, was just a horrible actor.
