Complete Nielsen Ratings: Dec 29, 2014 - Jan 4, 2015
The full Nielsen rankings and ratings from #1 to #89:
NBC was the top network of the week, but both CBS and FOX challenged them in each of the four reported categories. In once of the few time of any week, each of the Big 4 networks had a top 4 program. All four networks had strengths and weaknesses, but the power of the NFL is too much to overcome.
NBC's lone top 20 program was the Saturday night NFL Playoff game, featuring the Steelers vs the Ravens. The game (#2) drew just under 28 million viewers and an 8.8 rating in Adults 18-49. Three primetime hours of the NFL, during a repeat filled holiday week, was enough for the network to be #1 in Viewers, A18-49 demo and A25-54 demo.
FOX, also with an NFL infused week, was second in the A18-49 demographic and the A25-54 demographic. It had the #1 program, the Dallas vs Detroit playoff game, which ran over from lat Sunday afternoon. The game commanded 33 million viewers and a solid 11.9 demo rating. The following Sunday comedy line up also did very well, with THE SIMPSONS placing 6th, BROOKLYN NINE-NINE at #24 and FAMILY GUY at 26th.
CBS had more programs in the top ten (5), top twenty (13) and top thirty (16), than any other network, but lacked the BIG ratings draw that is the NFL. It was just barely edged out by NBC for the most viewers, but was a distant third place in both reported young demographic ratings. Every CBS program ranked 47th, or better.
ABC was 4th place, across the board. Its annual DICK CLARK'S NEW YEAR'S ROCKIN EVE was the top program for the network, with two editions ranking 4th and 15th. The series premiere of GALAVANT did decent numbers, ranking 18th, with 7.4 million viewers. ABC had just five shows in the top 30.
