Note: The following labels are based on the household overnights and are subject to change given the availability of other pending data streams. These overnights are your first look at the ratings and a precursor to what could lie ahead. 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:
“The Voice” (NBC), “The Flash” (CW)
-Honorable Mention:
“Chicago Fire” (NBC)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
“Repeat After Me” (ABC), “Weird Loners” (Fox), “Forever” (ABC)

Ratings Breakdown:
Despite airing repeats from 8-10 p.m., CBS still led the evening in the household overnights, besting No. 2 NBC by 25 percent. But the home of “The Voice” should have no trouble winning the night in adults 18-49 and all the young adult demographics.
“The Voice” topped the night, with a 7.2 rating/12 share from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was equal to one week earlier (which translated into 10.69 million viewers and a 2.5 rating/9 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live Plus Same Day data). And it led into consistent household overnights for comedies “Undateable” (#2: 3.3/ 5) and recently introduced “One Big Happy” (#3: 2.6/ 4) from 9-10 p.m. Similar overnight results last week resulted in a 1.5/ 5 in adults 18-49 for “Undateable” and a 1.1/ 3 in the demo for “One Big Happy.”
While “One Big Happy” is certainly a question mark for renewal, it did manage to beat competing colossal flop “Weird Loners” on Fox (1.0/ 2) by 160 percent.
“Chicago Fire” capped off the evening for NBC with a second-place 4.6/ 8 at 10 p.m., which should have no trouble dominating the time period in all the key demos.
Aforementioned CBS populated the evening with encore telecasts of “NCIS” (#2: 6.5/11 at 8 p.m.) and “NCIS: New Orleans” (#1: 6.2/10 at 9 p.m.) into an original Tuesday 10 p.m. installment of “CSI: Cyber” (#1: 5.5/ 9), which – no doubt – was being tested in the time period. While “CSI: Cyber” did trail the week-ago overnights for regularly scheduled time period occupant “Person of Interest” (5.9/10 on April 14) by seven percent, the retention out of the “NCIS: New Orleans” encore (89 percent) was certainly better than the 66 percent for “Person of Interest” out of an original “NCIS: New Orleans” last week.
Airing into waiting-to-be axed sitcom “Weird Loners” on Fox was tired “Hell’s Kitchen” (#5: 2.6/ 4 at 8 p.m.) into a repeat of “New Girl” (#5: 1.0/ 2 at 9 p.m.).
In season-finale news, ABC sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat” closed season one with a typical 3.4/ 6 in the 8 p.m. half-hour, which should be enough to warrant a renewal. But a last-place 2.1/ 3 for “Repeat After Me” at 8:30 p.m., also a season-ender, should be all the more reason for the proverbial axe to swing.
Next on ABC was young adult demo friendly “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” at a third-place 3.1/ 5 from 9-10 p.m., which was 48 percent above lead-in “Repeat After Me,” followed by older-skewing “Forever” at a third-place 2.9/ 5 from 10-11 p.m.
The CW capped off the night with freshman hit “Arrow” at a 2.7/ 4 at 8 p.m., which was 108 percent above “The Originals” on the year-ago evening (1.3/ 2 on 4/22/14), followed by recently introduced “iZombie” at a 1.2/ 2 at 9 p.m. Comparably, ‘iZombie” was flat from one week earlier, which resulted in a potentially renewable 0.8/ 2 in adults 18-49 (based on the Live Plus Same Day data).
