There were some shows, mostly sports, that didn't quite match.

Some of the shows listed in the first list weren't in the second one, and vice versa.

USA Today didn't bother with The Overtime for Fox.

Live events have the most change from the fast final daily ratings and the ratings weekly list list.

The overnight final daily ratings are pretty accurate and only change by a point or two if at all.

They are, but lately more of them have been off.
