For the first time this season, CBS was Tuesday in both viewers and in the key ratings, thanks for strong performances from the NCIS franchise. ABC also got a nice lift from magician David Blaine’s special, but it wasn’t enough to get the network out of third place.
CBS swept the night, averaging 15.45 million viewers and a 2.5 18-49 rating. NCIS kicked things off with its usual 19.3 million viewers and a 3.0 18-49 rating, notes HitFix. NCIS: LA had just under 15 million viewers and a 2.5 18-49 rating. Person of Interest capped things off with 12 million viewers and a 2.0 key demo rating.
NBC came in second with 8.33 million viewers and a 2.3 18-49 rating. According to TheWrap, NBC’s eight-week Tuesday winning streak in the demo is over, mostly thanks to dips from The Voice and Chicago Fire. The Biggest Loser had 6.3 million viewers and a 1.8 18-49 rating, while Voice had 11.2 million and a 3.1 18-49 rating. It was the lowest-rated fall Tuesday episode for the series. Chicago Fire hit a season low with 7.4 million viewers and just a 1.9 rating.
ABC had a mixed night. While it did tie with NBC in the demo with a 2.3 overall rating, it averaged just 6.94 million viewers. Agents of SHIELD got a small Thor boost with 6.85 million viewers and a 2.3 18-4 9rating. The Goldbergs had 5.14 million and a 1.6 key demo rating before Blaine’s Real or Magic.

Fox was in fourth with 3.1 million viewers and a 1.4 18-49 rating for its comedies. Brooklyn Nine-Nine again had more viewers than New Girl with 3.4 million and a 1.5 rating. New Girl did get a 1.7, though.
