Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 05/26/15

NBC had an easy time sweeping the Tuesday night ratings, thanks to the summer powerhouse that is AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. The 10th season premiere collected 10.9 million viewers and a 2.6 rating in Adults 18-49 and a 3.4 rating in Adults 25-54. Compared to last season's premiere. Viewership dropped over one million viewers and the A18-49 demo lost 13 percent.

Following the AGT premiere was the series premiere of I CAN DO THAT. Although it was the second highest rated program of the night, in both the A18-49 and A25-54 demographics, the episode lost 40% of its lead in viewership, 31% of the A18-49 demo and 35% of the A25-54 demo. Not exactly a great start.

ABC and FOX came in second place, in the A18-49 demo ratings, edging CBS. Both networks struggled to beat CBS' all encore line up. EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS finished in 4th place, during the 9 p.m. hour and last in the 10 p.m. hour. 5th GRADER's return received a failing grade by finishing 4th in the 8 p.m. hour.

The CW's iZOMBIE did relatively decent numbers, with only an encore of THE FLASH as its lead in. The ratings are on par with what it has generated over the last few weeks.
