Complete Nielsen Ratings: Feb 23 - March 1, 2015

The full Nielsen rankings and ratings from #1 to #90: 
 

The last week of February, 2015, turned out to be one of the more competitive weeks of the season, by the Big 4 networks. In the A18-49 demographic ratings, the four networks were separated by just one tenth of a ratings point, with all four getting the same five share. In the A25-54 demographic, CBS took the top spot, but the other three networks were within four tenths of a point. If this is any indication, the rest of the season should be fun to watch, as we go down to the wire to see which network comes out on top.

FOX had a pretty good week, using just its regularly scheduled series. EMPIRE moved up to be the #4 program of the week. AMERICAN IDOL placed both nights within the top 20 and GOTHAM placed 38th. The new comedy THE LAST MAN ON EARTH did well, in the A18-49 ratings, pulling in a 2.4 score, ranking 14th in that category.

CBS, again, has the most top 30 programs of the week, with 17, including the two most watched show of the week (NCIS and BIG BANG). All of the network's programs, ranked above the 60th spot. New series BATTLE CREAK got off to a so-so start, with just under 8 million viewers and a 1.0 demo. But it did well holding on to its lead in audience, from THE GOOD WIFE. THE ODD COUPLE stayed within the top 10.

ABC reaped the benefits of HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER's season finale. The two hour season ender ranked 20th for the week, hauling in nine million viewers and a strong 2.8 demo rating. BC only had five top 30 programs, but had 10 more within the top 50.

NBC's numbers were decent, thanks to the return of THE VOICE. The hit singing competition series placed both nights in the top five and averaged 13.9 million viewers and a 4.0 demo, between the two airings. But these were the only two shows NBC had in the top 20 and only adds three more for the top 30.

With three months left in the TV season, NBC has a small 0.3 lead in the A18-49 ratings, over CBS. Both networks are tied in the A25-59 demographic. CBS has a commanding lead in total viewers, with 2.2 million more than second place NBC.
