Ratings Breakdown:
It was an easy Tuesday overnight victory for CBS, but not a clean sweep over improved second-place NBC. “NCIS” topped the night, as always, with a 10.4 rating/16 share in the household overnights from 8-9 p.m. And that led into a 7.7/12 for also dominant spin-off “NCIS: New Orleans” from 9-10 p.m. But freshman “Limitless,” which is not worthy of a second season renewal in this writer’s opinion, trailed competing “Chicago Fire” on NBC by 21 percent (4.1/ 7 vs. 5.3/ 9). One year earlier, former CBS Tuesday 10 p.m. occupant scored a 6.2/10 in the hour (which is all the more reason to put benchwarmer “Person of Interest” back in the time period). Comparably, retention for “Limitless” out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of “NCIS: New Orleans” (7.5/12) was only 55 percent.
Earlier in the evening on NBC was “Hollywood Game Night,” hosted by Jane Lynch, at a 2.8/ 4 from 8-9 p.m. (#2), which was 40 percent on average above two episodes of sitcom “Parks and Recreation” on the year-ago evening (2.0/ 3 on 2/10/15). Next was already renewed “Chicago Med” at a second-place 4.8/ 7 from 9-10 p.m., which built from the 8:30 p.m. portion of “Hollywood Game Night” by a hefty 71 percent.
Elsewhere, the results were slim. Freshman “The Muppets” on ABC is waiting for the pink slip to arrive at this point, with a 1.9/ 3 (#3) in the household overnights at 8:30 p.m. out of a 3.2/ 5 (#2) for sophomore “Fresh off the Boat” at 8 p.m. Also sophomore “Marvel’s Agent Carter” (#3: 1.9/ 3) is not doing a very good job temporarily filling in for “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” at 9 p.m. And recent returnee “What Would You Do?” remained a significant flop at a 1.6/ 3 at 10 p.m. (#3).
Fox could not compete with its slim combination of 8-10 p.m. sitcoms “New Girl” (#4: 2.2/ 3), “Grandfathered” (#4: 1.8/ 3), “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (#4: 1.7/ 3) and “The Grinder” (#4: 1.5/ 2). And sophomore drama “iZombie” on The CW (#5: 1.0/ 1 at 9 p.m.) dropped by an extensive 62 percent from solid lead-in “The Flash” (#5: 2.6/ 4 at 8 p.m.). One year earlier, former Tuesday 9 p.m. CW occupant scored a 1.4/ 2 in the overnights in the hour.

About the Daily Ratings
Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.
The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.
NOTE: We will open up the ratings post early so that people can chat/disqus whilst we wait for the HH, T25 Numbers and then the Early Overnight numbers as usual.
