NBC won the Tuesday primetime ratings this week, despite its newest freshman drama premiering in underwhelming fashion.
On NBC, the series premiere of The Village grabbed a low 0.9 demo rating in the 18-49 with 4.91 million viewers. It’s not exactly awful for the 10 PM slot on Tuesday but it’s not exactly encouraging either. Ellen’s Game of Games kicked the night off for the network with a 1.2 rating in adults 18-49, matching its episode from a week ago with 5.73 million viewers. This is Us followed by ticking down a tenth week-to-week, tying its series low 1.7 demo score and 7.51 million viewers.
On ABC, American Housewife (0.8, 3.94 million viewers), The Kids Are Alright (0.6, 3.03 million viewers), and Black-ish (0.6, 2.72 million viewers) all returned down two-tenths from their most recent episodes. Splitting Up Together managed to stay even with another 0.6 demo rating and 2.38 million viewers, but the same could not be said for The Rookie, which ticked back down from a 0.8 to a 0.7 demo rating and 4.19 million viewers.
On FOX, the series premiere of Mental Samurai grabbed a 0.7 with 2.28 million viewers. That was down slightly from the 0.8 that MasterChef Junior scored as its lead-in, but is on par with how the MasterChef Junior season premiere’s second hour performed last week.
On The CW, Roswell, New Mexico rose one-tenth from its previous 0.2 to a 0.3 demo rating and 1.03 million viewers, and The Flash matched its 0.5 demo score and 1.64 million viewers from last Tuesday.
CBS took the night off with reruns last night.
