Was hoping we get a little more than that, mind you everything is down across the board

Saying that the real rating for me is the L+7

Football season has started and a game was going on at that time.

The L+7 with the DVR ratings seem key to me too.


Thanks for the link, bwm30, and updated the OP.

^the final numbers come out tomorrow! Those are only preliminaries.

[CityGal]

I'll update as soon as it's posted.

And thanks for finding the numbers.

Not terrible ratings, but now awesome either. If they remain stable through the season, the show should be all right, though.

Here are the finals! Sorry, no adjustments

Also, the Renew/Cancel Index indicates that were a bubble show now. That doesn't make sense since these ratings always kept us in the top category, which is where were supposed to be I think the new site poster screwed up since a lot of complaints are being made about her because we should still have five smilie faces

Well, the actors all signd a five year contract for OUAT, so for season six, those will have to be negotiated, and that could affectthe chances of renewal.

If the ratings stay at this level, I do think the chances of renewal are pretty okay, but if they fall a lot, that could be an issue.

I tend to think that person is probably right.

I believe these are the lowest premiere ratings they've gotten. After five years obviously ratings are going to fall every year but typically the season premiere brings the highest ratings, I believe, so they'll just go down from there. This is also a pretty expensive show, imo, so the cost versus the ratings are probably taken into consideration.

We have to just wait and see where the ratings go from here. I think it could go either way on whether we get a SEason 6. But I think there are other factors they consider beyond the live ratings.

Yeah not great ratings for contract renewal year. And I keep seeing articles that point out that the premiere ratings for this season are down 49% from the previous season's premiere. That looks really bad but when you factor in all the promotion they did for "Frozen the live action TV series" it makes sense.

I agree as long as they hold steady it should be okay. The problem is that every season the ratings typically drop about 1 or 2 million viewers and a few percentage points in the key demo from the premiere. At this point OUAT really can't afford to see a further drop in ratings like that.

Let's hope they remain steady.

I seem to be the only fan on these boards who realizes that, for this series, it's the LIVE+ ratings that matter far more than the LIVE ratings, since I'm the one constantly pointing out that there's absolutely no reason to panic as far as ratings success goes.

OUAT does not have any kind of immunity that the network and its advertisers are okay with fans watching the show on a format that allows them to fastforward through the advertisements.

The LIVE+ ratings do not matter more that the LIVE ratings for this or any other show.

No that's not true.

There's quite a few of us who do and made our reasonings known last season, and if you notice in the OP it has been updated to reflect the L+7 numbers since this is indeed more indicative of the show's viewing audience.

Sunday Night Football is too large of a juggernaut for any show to overcome. So Once will be regulated to DVR and watch "after the game status" I certainly can't watch if my local team is playing during the show's airing.

We'll see how the L+7 numbers stack up in a few more days.
