The TV Ratings Guide Weekly! A weekly feature including the ratings of all the programs aired by
broadcast networks NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS, and The CW. In addition, the top ten of cable and weekly rankings of six broadcast networks. All ratings are the Live+SD Adults 18-49 and Total Viewer numbers provided by Nielsen.
Here is last week's post for reference.
New this week: Weekly scripted hourly averages that include original comedy and drama shows. It gives a bigger picture as to the relative strength (and weakness) of certain networks in the scripted department. Networks that have higher overall ratings in comparison to the scripted average have higher rated reality and sports.
Note: Undateable is technically unscripted, but it for my purposes, it goes into the average
