Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 01/09/2018

NBC wins Tuesday night, with solid performances from ELLEN'S GAME OF GAMES and the hit drama, THIS IS US. GAMES pulled in 8.0 million viewers and a 2.1 rating in Adults 18-49. That is down only 800,00 viewers and less than 10% in the demo, from last week's two-hour premiere. THIS IS US is back with its first episode in six weeks and posted the top demographic numbers of the night. Viewership is down over one million viewers, but the demo ratings for THIS IS US is on par with that last original episode, in November, 2017. CHICAGO MED dropped 50% in the demo, from its lead in.

CBS takes second place, with its three crime dramas. NCIS is mostly even with last week's performances, while BULL and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS are down.

ABC and FOX battle it out for third on the night, with neither network lighting the night on fire. LA TO VEGAS dropped 30% in viewers and 27% in the demo, from last week's series premiere.
