Live + 7 Day Season to Date: On average in L+7, "S.H.I.E.L.D." adds 1.1 rating points in Adults 18-49 (+73%) to its L+SD number (1.5 rating to a 2.6 rating), ranking as the No. 1 scripted show in the slot on each telecast this season.

Projections Rationale:
Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2015-16 season for premiere telecast or an average for originals (excluding the premiere).
Returning shows: Profile based on same show (either premiere or averages for originals).
New Series: Based on similar series.

A note about DVR penetration: DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample is currently at 48% in U.S. TV Homes. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which are increasingly not reflected in the overnight Live + Same Day numbers. As a result, the Live + 7 Day ratings are the most accurate measure to gauge the size of the TV audience
