Complete Nielsen Ratings: February 1 - 7, 2016

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

It was a given that CBS would win big this week, it was just a matter of how big. With the Super Bowl, CBS averaged between 20 to 25 percent of the viewing audiences, including the key demographic categories. The surge added three tenths of a point to CBS' season average in the A18-49 demo and pushed it past NBC for the season lead.


For the week, CBS swept the top five, with Super Bowl 50 drawing just under 112 million viewers. The network took 15 of the top 30 spots and every single CBS program ranked 50th or better. And, that is with quite a few encores from some of its bigger dramas.

FOX was fourth in total viewership, but came in second place when it came to the ket demographics. It tied with ABC in the A18-49 demo and was alone in second place for the A25-54 demo. With NCIS airing an encore, THE X-FILES was the top drama of the week, ranking 11th.  But, FOX's only entries in the to 30 were THE X-FILES and the two nights of AMERICAN IDOL, all in the top 11.

ABC topped NBC for third place, posting six shows in the top 30. The GOP Presidential Debate, on Saturday night, was a key factor for the networks good showing, as it hauled in 13.2 million viewers and ranked 6th on the week. The network's miniseries, MADOFF, did relatively well, ranking 21st and 26th, on consecutive nights.

It was a pretty bad week for NBC it ranked 4th in both the A18-49 and A25-54 demographics, and third in viewers and house holds. Like ABC, it pushed six shows into the top 30, but non higher than 12th, occupied by CHICAGO FIRE. The network will have a tough time trying to get back the A18-49 crown, even with THE VOICE returning in a few weeks.

The CW was down, week-to-week, but did push THE FLASH to the #15 spot on the A18-34 demographic ratings. ARROW and LEGENDS OF TOMORROW ranked 33rd and 39th, respectively.
