Ratings Analysis:
CBS is the network to beat in the Tuesday household overnights, dominating in all six half-hours care of its combination of “NCIS” (#1 for the night: 9.5 rating/15 share), week two of drama “Bull” (8.6/14) and relocated “NCIS: New Orleans” (6.9/12), which was 10 percent above failed year-ago 10 p.m. drama “Limitless” (6.3/11 on 9/29/15). But NBC is a lock in all the key demographic groups as a result of two more hours of “The Voice” (#2: 7.9/13 from 8-10 p.m.) and week two of just full season-renewed “This Is Us” (#2: 5.7/10).
Comparably, “Bull” dipped by a typical 11 percent from its week ago-week debut (9.7/ 5 on Sept. 20, which translated into 15.56 million viewers and a 2.2 rating/7 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data). “This Is Us,” meanwhile, slipped by 11 percent in the overnights from its opener (6.4/11 on Sept. 20, which resulted in 10.07 million viewers and a 2.8/10 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data). But “This Is Us” was still a hefty 42 percent above short-lived variety hour “The Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris” on the year-ago evening (4.0/ 7 on 9/29/15).
Over at ABC, a two-hour “Dancing With the Stars” results show (5.6/ 9 from 8-10 p.m.) led into a very distant third-place 2.2/ 4 for relocated “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” at 10 p.m. One year earlier, a repeat of “Quantico” in the Tuesday 10 p.m. hour on ABC scored a 3.1/ 6. While I understand “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” is a draw in social media (as is “Scream Queens” on Fox), by the traditional ratings – at least in the overnights – there is virtually no interest.
Over at Fox, the network remains stalled at the Tuesday gate with its line-up of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (#4: 1.8/ 3), “New Girl” (#4: 1.6/ 3) and sophomore “Scream Queens” (#4: 1.2/ 2), One year earlier, the debut of short-lived comedies “Grandfathered” (4.0/ 6 on 9/29/15) and “The Grinder” (3.8/ 6) were significantly stronger in the 8 p.m. hour.
The CW capped off this second Tuesday of the new television season with a repeat of “The Flash” (#5: 0.6/ 1) and the season (or series) finale of “MADtv” (#5: 0.5/ 1).
