Ratings are a guesstimate of the number of households watching the show when it airs on television.

One of the reasons Teen Wolf was dropped in the UK was because by the time it aired there - most people HAD already seen it online so it got very bad ratings on Sky Living.

Unfortunately for those of us stateside, you can't help with the ratings numbers. You can however take to twitter during the US broadcast and boost the show's profile that way. Broadcasters here won't admit it yet - but they do keep an eye on social media to determine a show's value and popularity.
