Ratings Breakdown:
Given the low benchmark for comparison, there was every reason to believe the live production of “The Sound of Music” would ignite NBC. But a 10.9 rating/18 share in the household overnights from 8-11 p.m. is more than anyone could have expected. And it proves both the value, and importance, of event type programming on network television. It is still very relevant.
“The Sound of Music Live!” opened with a 10.9/18 in the 8 p.m. half-hour, which was eight percent above the 10.1/16 for normally undefeated “The Big Bang Theory” on CBS (10.1/16). And it ended with a still stellar 10.5/17 at 10:30 p.m., with a first-place finish in each of the six half-hours as follows:
8:00 p.m.: 10.9/18
8:30 p.m.: 11.5/18
9:00 p.m.: 11.3/18
9:30 p.m.: 11.2/18
10:00 p.m.: 10.5/17
Comparably, “The Sound of Music Live!” bested the year-ago combination of “30 Rock,” “Up All Night,” “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation” and “Rock Center With Brian Williams” by a mammoth 319 percent, with similar overnight gains over the current season line-up. The bottom line: This is a massive win for both NBC and the entire television landscape, and proof that network television can still steam up the water-cooler. Congratulations, NBC!
Elsewhere, each of the four competing networks posted losses from the year-ago evening with Fox the bigger loser at erosion of 37 percent in the overnights, overall, with its pairing of “The X Factor” (#3: 3.5/ 6) and “Glee” (#4: 2.4/ 4).
On CBS, freshman sitcom “The Millers” dipped by 42 percent out of “The Big Bang Theory,” with a 5.9/ 9 (#2) at 8:30 p.m. Next was “The Crazy Ones” (#3: 4.9/ 8 at 9 p.m.), followed by “Two and a Half Men” at a second-place 5.6/ 9 at 9:30 p.m., which built by 14 percent. “Elementary” was third at 10 p.m. with a respectable 5.4/ 9. Note to Paula Marshall, who guest-starred on “Two and a Half Men” last night: great to see you back where you belong!
Over at ABC, soon-to-conclude “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” was off the map with a mere 2.2/ 4 (#4) at 8 p.m., followed by veteran “Grey’s Anatomy” at a second-place 5.2/ 8 from 9-10 p.m. Despite facing “The Sound of Music Live!,” “Scandal” rose to a solid second-place 6.2/11 from 10-11 p.m. (which was 13 percent above one year earlier). It will be interesting to see what the variation will be demographically opposite “The Sound of Music Live” for all shows last night.
The CW capped off the night with a below average 1.6/ 3 for “The Vampire Diaries” at 8 p.m. (#5) into a typical 1.3/ 2 for “Reign” at 9 p.m.

You should remove that photo. We’re not allowed to post Vancity’s photos. We have to post the link to his site where the photos are (which we’ve already done).
