Updated TV Ratings Sunday: 'Academy Awards' Preliminary Ratings Close To Last Year, 'Amazing Race,' 'Celebrity Apprentice' At Series Lows

Categories: Academy Awards,Featured,TV Ratings: Nielsen Overnight TV Show Ratings

Written By Bill Gorman

February 27th, 2012

Scoreboard

Adults 18-49: Rating/Share 8.8/21* 1.4/3 1.3/3 1.3/3 0.9/2

Adults 18-34: Rating/Share 7.2/20* 0.8/2 1.4/4 0.8/2 0.9/3

Total Viewers (million) 30.540*

Due to the nature of live programming the ratings for ABC (7-8:30pm Oscars Red Carpet, 8:30-11pm 84th Academy Awards) are likely to be significantly adjusted in the final ratings.

The fast affiliate preliminary ratings for The 84th Academy Awards scored a 10.2 adults 18-49 rating which were down 4% vs. last year's preliminary 10.6 adults 18-49 rating. The preliminary viewership of 34.364 million was up 3% vs. last year's preliminary 33.469 million viewers. Last year's preliminary ratings were adjusted up in the finals to an 11.8 adults 18-49 rating and 37.919 million viewers, so this year's final ratings are likely to be close to last year's. Our polled readers expected a decline in viewership.

I expect time zone adjusted ratings sometime after 3PM Eastern time and will post them here after I see them.

Earlier in the evening, the preliminary ratings for Oscar's Red Carpet were up and down vs. last year's prelminaries (they're rated as three separate shows):

Oscar Red Carpet - Live 1 (S): 4.8 adults 18-49 rating, up +9% from last year's fast nationals (4.4 rating on 2/27/11)
Oscar Red Carpet - Live 2 (S): 6.2 rating, up +5% from last year's fast nationals 5.9 rating.
Oscar Red Carpet - Live 3 (S): 8.1 rating, down -11% from last year's fast nationals 9.1 rating.

In non-statuette television, The Amazing Race's 2.1 adults 18-49 rating matched its series low, and was down 25% from its premiere's 2.8 rating last week. I have conflicting information on whether 60 Minutes was an original episode or not, regardless, its 1.3 adults 18-49 rating means I'm not the only one who may have been confused.

NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice scored a series low 1.8 adults 18-49 rating, tumbling 31% vs. a 2.6 rating for last week's premiere.

The Oscars slaughter everything. That being said, TAR had more viewers and bigger market share than 60 minutes -- that's great news!

And TAR was second to the Oscars compared to all of the other programming used for the ratings. Damn good!

When will they realize that stuntcasting is a real showkiller? When they started recycling Survivor contestants on every season the ratings started going DOWN. No one wants to watch a big red-haired retard baby for a whole season.

When they stuntcasted Romber the ratings were good but TPTB had to ruin the momentum by making horrid FE after that.

Apparently they timed the reveals for Best Supporting Actor/Actress to be around the end of TAR and Walking Dead.

TAR 20 ep 4 struck me as being very good. Interpersonal drama + Turin + Mole Antonelianna = magnificent! I hope the ratings reflect half of my enthusiasm.

CBS' "The Amazing Race" and ABC's "Once Upon a Time" were close competitors in the 8 o'clock hour on Sunday night, but CBS won out with 9.7 million viewers for the time slot -- though both shows were down over last week's numbers.

Also down a bit were ABC's "GCB" and NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," though "GCB" did steal away the top 18-49 spot from "Celebrity Apprentice" for the 10 p.m. hour. CBS' "The Good Wife," however, got a bit of a boost this week.

In the adults 18-49 demographic, ABC won out again this week with a 2.3 rating. CBS and FOX were close to each other for second with a 2.1 and 2.0, respectively, and NBC finished with a 1.5.

Thanks, codayoda. You sound as if you might know much more about ratings and tv production than I do. Do you know if TAR appeals to specific market segment or psychological viewer profiles?

"The Amazing Race has worldwide viewers in excess of 80 million and is currently aired on 20 different networks on four continents."

"...Each season of The Amazing Race has a reach of 16 million viewers across Asia through AXN, with a huge loyal following due to its outstanding ability to capture a sense of adventure. ...The Amazing Race...reaches over 23 territories in Asia Pacific. In Australia, The Amazing Race has been hugely successful, winning its timeslot each week and in New Zealand, the Season 7 finale on TVNZ (TV2) posted strong ratings with a 48% share in P18-39."

Very impressive viewer numbers. Although still far from TAR's viewer peak, TAR is actually gaining viewers again.
3.6 18-49 rating will keep tar on the air for the forseeable future.

Just a little more detail to give some perspective. TAR did really well up against a sporting event. Hopefully TAR producers will work with CBS to not schedule TAR when there are Sunday night sporting events -- it dillutes the significance of the ratings.

I consider TAR a sporting event and then some--a less than one decade old sporting event which competes favorably with the mature, institutionalized/socially programmed sport of Football. No doubt TAR outperforms footblah if other countries' ratings are included. A key question for me remains unanswered. I just knew someone here could tell me what [psycho]demographic "segments" find TAR appealing. I find it more than appealing. I'm a honest to goodness fan(atic) and seriously contend TAR is one of the best things ever conceived and produced by man. Are TAR viewers the 67th segment? Doesn't it make sense that a "competition like no other" would attract an unusual viewership? And yes, I may be wanting to know too much about myself and might not like what I find.

"...PRIZM defines every U.S. household in terms of 66 demographically and behaviorally distinct types, or "segments," to help marketers discern those consumers' likes, dislikes, lifestyles, purchase behaviors and media preferences. Used by thousands of marketers within Fortune 500 companies, PRIZM provides the "lingua franca" for marketing in an increasingly diverse and complex American marketplace. Because PRIZM is linked to the surveys and panels of most major marketing databases in the U.S., the segmentation system enables you to target on virtually any purchase and media behavior."

TAR's been holding steady around 10-11 Million viewers since TAR9. That's freakin incredible. Sure, other shows like Survivor and American Idol have more viewers, but they have been steadily declining for years(well, Survivor seems to be starting to even out a bit).

TAR isn't going anywhere unless World Race Productions get tired of doing it. It's an extremely solid hit for CBS on Sunday nights. I can't see them giving that up.

Ep. 5 got a boost with the time delay, however this season has been extremely consistent, just as this show has been for years. Good for TAR!

Fast National ratings for Sunday, March 18, 2012

CBS' "The Amazing Race" got a bit of a boost this week over last Sunday's numbers, while ABC's "Once Upon a Time" dipped with total number of viewers -- most likely due to the NCAA basketball tournament running over by almost an hour and bumping shows from their time slots. However, the fairy-tale show did manage to pick up some more 18-49-year-old viewers this week, winning the demographic for the time slot.

Also down a bit was NBC's "The Celebrity Apprentice," though it did tie with "GCB" -- also down this week -- for most viewers in the 18-49 demo for the 10 p.m. hour.

CBS got the top spot among total viewers for the evening, averaging 9.7 million and a 6.2 rating/10 share in households for the night. ABC (7.5 million, 4.6/8) came in second ahead of NBC (6.4 million, 4.2/7) and FOX (4.3 million, 2.4/4).

In the adults 18-49 demographic, CBS won out this week with a 2.3 rating. ABC was a close second with a 2.2, while FOX got a 2.0 and NBC finished with a 1.4.

Sunday hour by hour:

7 p.m.

CBS: "60 Minutes" (10 million, 6.3/11)

ABC: "America's Funniest Home Videos" (6.12 million, 3.5/6)
