NBC’s breakout freshman drama "This Is Us" has hit another ratings milestone.

The series’ Feb. 7 telecast has ranked as that week’s #1 broadcast series in Live+7 adult 18-49 rating, marking the first time "This Is Us" has outrated the same week’s original of veteran CBS comedy series "The Big Bang Theory" in L+7.



The L7 victory comes after "This Is Us" edged "The Big Bang Theory" in Live+3 ratings the last two weeks.

The Feb. 7 "This Is Us" logged a 4.52 in L3 vs. a 4.47 for that week’s "Big Bang"; and the Feb. 14 "This Is Us" posted a 4.22 in L3 vs 3.92 for "Big Bang". It is safe to project that "This Is Us" will also top "Big Bang" in Live+7 for the week of Feb. 13.







The Feb. 7 telecast of "This Is Us" grew by +2.44 rating points, or +96%, from 2.55 18-49 rating in Live+same day to a 4.99 in L+7. That edged "Big Bang‘s" 4.83 L7 rating for the Feb. 9 episode, up from a 3.03 in L+SD.

"This Is Us‘" lift of +2.44 18-49 rating was the second biggest in all of TV that week, only a 0.03 behind the Feb. 12 mid-season premiere of AMC’s "The Walking Dead" (+2.47, from 5.73 to 8.20).



In total viewers, "This Is Us", which has posted several series highs, generated the biggest L+7 lift on television for the week of Feb. 6-12, growing by 6.236 million viewers (from 9.565 million in L+SD to 15.801 million in L7).

The week’s #2 biggest lift was +5.100 million for "Big Bang" (14.147 million to 19.247 million).



"The Big Bang Theory" remains a force in live viewing, packing some 14 million viewers who watch the show live, a rarity in a world of delayed and binge watching.

It also remains the most watched broadcast program in L7.

Amazing how BBT holds live viewers being down to less than 19 minutes much of the time. I can't watch it "live" now without getting annoyed.
