Complete Nielsen Ratings: May 26 - June 1, 2014

The full Nielsen rankings and ratings from #1 to #89: 
 

NBC and CBS split the first full week of summer programming, as NBC wins the three demographic categories, leaving CBS to take the Viewership and household crowns. ABC and FOX battle for the scrpas that were left and ION gets it's first win over the CW, this summer.

Loaded with original programming, NBC pushes three shows in the top 10 and a total of five in the top 30. It has the only program to score a demo rating of 3.0, or better (AMERICA'S GOT TALENT). but with 22 hours NBC scheduled, 18 hours were original programs. A lot of extra money for small gains over CBS' rerun filled schedule.

CBS only scheduled 2.5 hours of original programs, two episodes of 48 HOURS and the last FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS episode. The network had seven top 10 programs and a total of 18 in the top 30. When you consider the small differences in the ratings between CBS and NBC, and the cost of new programming, who actually won, financially, last week?

ABC gave us 14 hours of original programming and still only managed to tie or just edge out, CBS in the demographic categories. It's best performing repeat was AFV, which was 19th on the chart.

FOX continues it's struggles as it's low numbers came on the heals of 11.5, out of 15, hours of original programming. 24: LAD was the networks best show, finishing 15th on the week. that is just on of two FOX shows to make the top 30 chart.

The CW was almost all reruns last week, with THE 100 as the lone original show. The network also lost or tied ION in the three categories we have for ION. It could be a long summer for the CW if nothing in the original summer programming sticks.
