The Top 10 TV Ratings Moments of 2016


It's time for my seventh annual look back at the year's top 10 moments in TV ratings! As always, the criteria are pretty subjective, but I go for a blend of 1) relatively isolated incidents that are impressive for their sheer enormity/cultural impact and 2) moments that exemplify much larger trends in TV this year. Please let me know about my most egregious rankings/omissions. Happy New Year!

Cablemetrics: Bates Motel, Damien, The People v. O.J. Simpson


These numbers are current through Thursday, March 10.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • A&E's Bates Motel was back for season four with a 0.66, down by 28% from last year's premiere.

Cablemetrics: The Walking Dead, Vinyl, Better Call Saul, Vikings


These numbers are current through Thursday, February 18.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • The Walking Dead opened the back half of season six with a 6.75 demo rating, which is still unthinkably high in today's landscape... and yet down by 15% from the last spring premiere, and nearly 10% from the fall 2015 premiere. It's the lowest TWD half-season premiere in three years. (For perspective, only one non-Walking Dead regularly-scheduled scripted episode has done a higher number in that three-year span: the Empire season one finale.)

Cablemetrics: The People v. O.J. Simpson, Shameless, Billions


These numbers are current through Thursday, February 11.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • Week two of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story was down 23% to a 1.51. That's a bit steeper than average for a scripted show in week two, but still a good number overall (nearly double the next highest entry on this week's chart, after all).

Cablemetrics: The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story, Young and Hungry, Pretty Little Liars


These numbers are current through Thursday, February 4.

WHAT MATTERS:
  • FX's The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story started with a 1.96. It was not quite as big as the last American Horror Story premiere (2.99), and it skewed a lot older (49% in the 18-49 demo vs. 66% for the last AHS season). But nothing else in scripted original cable was even that close to a 1.0 this week, so it's still huge by any other standard.
