Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 02/07/2017

NBC takes Tuesday night in the younger demographic ratings, thanks to a strong showing from the hot freshman series, THIS IS US. the 9 PM drama posted a 1.6 rating in Adults 18-34 and a 2.5 rating in Adults 18-49. But, that is down from its last original episode, two weeks earlier, when it posted a 1.9 and 2.8 ratings, respectively. At 10 PM, CHICAGO FIRE won the hour over NCIS: NO and AGENTS OF SHIELD. THE WALL, airing at 8 PM, was third in its hour.

CBS drew the most viewers and was second in the A18-49 and A35-54 demos. NCIS was the most watched program of the evening, hauling in 15.4 million viewers. BULL, kept about two-thirds of its lead in, at 9 PM. Both shows were down from two weeks ago, their last original episode airing.

ABC and The CW were in battle for the #3 spot, with The CW coming in second place, in the A18-34 demographic. ABC's two 8 PM comedies were the only two from the network generating any decent numbers, as the night got worse and worse for ABC.

THE FLASH, on The CW, was #2 overall in the A18-34 demo, helping the CBS pass FOX and challenge ABC.

Kind of a poor night for FOX, coming in fifth place in both hours, in the demo ratings.
