And we take into account other benchmarks including the expected demographic ratings, potential DVR usage, the critical acclaim (or lack of) and the social media presence.
-Winners:
“NCIS” (CBS), “The Voice” (NBC), “The Flash” (CW), “NCIS: New Orleans” (CBS), “Chicago Fire” (NBC)
-Continued Erosion:
“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” (ABC)

Ratings Breakdown:
CBS led this second Tuesday in the household overnights, besting No. 2 NBC by 23 percent. But “Person of Interest” slipped to second in the 10 p.m. hour behind “Chicago Fire,” and NBC is a lock for victory in adults 18-49 (and all the key young adult demos).
Ignited by the crossover with “Law & Order: SVU” and “Chicago PD” (which concludes tonight), “Chicago Fire” rose to a season-high 5.9 rating/10 share in households at 10 p.m. Comparably, “Chicago Fire” beat the competition — aforementioned “Person of Interest” (#2: 5.7/10) and “Forever” on ABC (#3: 3.1/ 5) — by 4 and 90 percent, respectively. It tied its series high (5.9/10 on Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013). And “Chicago Fire” increased from its year-ago overnight performance (5.1/ 9 on 11/12/13) by 16 percent.
Earlier in the evening on NBC was a two-hour edition of “The Voice” (pre-empting sitcoms “Marry Me” and “About A Boy” in the 9 p.m. hour) at a healthy 7.4/11 from 8-10 p.m., which will top the night in the key demos.
CBS’ pairing of “NCIS” (10.7/16 at 8 p.m. – #1 for the night) and spin-off “NCIS: Los Angeles” (9.0/14) won the 8-10 p.m. block in the overnights, as usual.
On ABC, sitcom “Selfie” earned its cancellation with a series-low 2.6/ 4 (#4t) in the 8 p.m. half-hour, and it led into a 2.3/ 4 (#5) for a repeat of “Modern Family” at 8:30 p.m. Next was diluted “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” at a third-place 2.9/ 4 from 9-10 p.m., which was 31 percent below the 4.2/ 7 on the year-ago evening at 8 p.m. And the 3.1/ 5 for full season-renewed “Forever” at 10 p.m. was a series low.
Over at Fox, “MasterChef Junior” remains a notable improvement from recent time period occupant “Utopia” and year-ago sitcoms “Dads” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” But a third-place 3.2/ 5 from 8-9 p.m. was 14 percent below the season-premiere one week earlier (3.7/ 6 on Nov. 4), which translated into 5.09 million viewers and a 1.8 rating/6 share among adults 18-49 (based on the Live + Same Day data). Next on Fox were low-rated comedies “New Girl” (#4: 2.2/ 3) and “The Mindy Project” (#4: 1.9/ 3) from 9-10 p.m., which declined from their year-ago overnight performances by 19 percent and 10 percent, respectively.
The CW, meanwhile, continues to enjoy success with freshman entry “The Flash” (#4: 2.6/ 4), which built by 53 percent from the 1.7/ 3 for year-ago occupant “The Originals.” And “The Flash” led into a typical 1.5/ 2 (#5) for the 200th episode of lead-out “Supernatural,” which slid by an extensive 42 percent.
