You can find all the final adjusted numbers in our Ratings Database. (See the About section below for details about ratings)Early Ratings AnalysisThe analysis below is based on the early household numbers and are NOT the same as the numbers that will be posted in the above table later.

But paring down “Dancing With the Stars” to just the two-hour block on Monday is a wise maneuver to keep the franchise alive. Congratulations, Kellie Pickler!Earlier in the evening on ABC was 8 p.m. special “The Bachelor”: The Bachelor’s Funniest Moments” at a third-place 3.7/ 6 at 8 p.m. Keep in mind that the new season of “The Bachelorette” begins on ABC next Monday.Over at NBC, the planned recap edition of “The Voice” at 8 p.m. was replaced with an NBC News Special on the tornadoes in Oklahoma, which resonated with a 5.1/ 9 in the overnights at 8 p.m. (#2). Next was the live edition of “The Voice” (#2: 6.7/10), which will win the 9 p.m. hour among adults 18-49 with ease, followed by a third-place 3.4/ 6 for “Grimm” at 10 p.m. “Grimm” moves back into its former Friday 9 p.m. time period next fall (out of “Dateline” and into compatible short-flight series “Dracula”).CBS populated the evening with encores of “NCIS: Los Angeles” (#1: 5.2/ 9) and two episodes of “NCIS” (9 p.m.: #3, 5.2/ 8; 10 p.m.: #2: 4.9/ 8). Fox aired two-hours of summer staple “So You Think You Can Dance,” which remains below average early its return with a 3.6/ 6 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. And The CW paired a Tuesday repeat of “The Vampire Diaries” (#5: 0.6/ 1 at 8 p.m.) with an encore of “America’s Next Top Model” College Edition” (#5: 0.4/ 1 at 9 p.m.). Considering the next edition of “Top Model” returns this summer, announcing a fall schedule with Tyra Banks and company in the Friday 9 p.m. hour is misleading.Source: Nielsen Media ResearchSource: Marc Berman@tvmediainsightsAbout the Daily RatingsEach day (except Sunday) we post the TV Ratings for the previous night.The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above.Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database.

Star Trek has come a long way since its many decades as different TV shows. Now, it's a blockbuster film franchise, and one that's getting a little bit of controversy attached to it as of late. Former Lost writer, Damon Lindelof, is in hot water for the character of Carol Marcus, played by Alice Eve. [...]Star Trek Writer Apologizes for Alice Eve's Underwear

With powerhouse programming like Go On (cancelled), Animal Practice (cancelled), Whitney (cancelled), The New Normal (cancelled), Guys with Kids (cancelled), Deception (cancelled), 1600 Penn (cancelled), and Next Caller (never aired), NBC managed to rise the ranks this season and elevate itself out of last place in Nielsen’s 18-49 demographic. Congratulations, NBC! You’re not last! ABC, meanwhile, came in fourth place, by virtue of the fact that it doesn’t own the rights to NFL broadcasts. The big story, I suppose, is that CBS finished in first place in the 18-49 demo for the first time in 21 years, which has less to do with CBS (its ratings were flat year-to-year) and more to do with the fact that people FINALLY stopped watching American Idol, which only managed to lead Fox to a second place finish this season. It’s time to introduce land-mines to the singing competition.

There has been a lot of talk about how to save American Idol after  a lackluster season of iffy talent, bickering judges and declining ratings. There has been the popular suggestion of new judges (which is going to happen). Some have said to ditch the results shows. Some have even suggesting letting the judges decide who goes home. But the best idea I’ve ever heard comes from Entertainment Weekly. Dalton Ross over there suggests a page from the Survivor handbook with a fans vs. favorites season and I LOVE that idea. Think about it, six of our favorite Idol “losers” competing against six newbies (just so we can continue the popular audition episodes? Wait, are those actually still popular? OK, another topic for another time. I mean think about it! Fan favorites back on the show competing for another shot! It could work, right!? So now that I’ve got this fun idea in my head, I want to pick some favorites to return. I’m not talking about people like Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert or Kellie Pickler who have done just fine without winning, but other fan favorites that might be able to use the publicity. My Idol Favorites Dream Team Tamyra Gray (1) Josh Gracin (2) Diana DeGarmo (3) Constantine Maroulis (4) Elliot Yamin (5) Mandisa (5) Melinda Doolitle (6) Sanjaya (just for dramatic purposes) (6) David Archuleta (7) Casey Abrams (10) I couldn’t just go with six. I had to throw in some more. Who would be on your dream team? Original content from American Idol 2013.

The TV movie did just fine in the temple of cinema. Steven Soderbergh's "Behind the Candelabra" was made for HBO and is headed for a Sunday debut on the cable channel, a situation forced on the director when the movie studios he approached thought the tale of Liberace and his young lover Scott Thorson wouldn't attract a straight audience.
