NBC takes Tuesday night in the younger demographic ratings, sweeping the three categories. THIS IS US was #1 in all three demos, including a solid 1.5 rating in Adults 18-34. The freshman series is up over last week, two-tenths in the A18-34 demo and one-tenth in the A18-49 demo. Earlier, the season finale of THE WALL was third in the hour, behind the ABC comedies and NCIS.

CBS drew the most viewers over the night, and was #2 in the demos. The two NCIS series were down from last week, while BULL remained flat in the ratings.

ABC was a so-so third place, but fourth in the A18-34 demographic. The 8 PM comedies carry the night for ABC, as the ratings deteriorate as the night progresses
