Sorry, “This Is Us”: ABC’s “The Bachelor” was back last night, and in a big way.
The hit NBC drama and ABC’s “After the Final Rose” special tied as Tuesday’s top show(s). The reality dating competition actually delivered the Disney broadcaster’s top Tuesday since November 2016 — it’s too bad “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World” at 10 p.m. is so poorly rated.
NBC finished No. 1 in the key demographic last night, while CBS had the most eyeballs overall with “NCIS” and “Bull.”
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.9 rating/7 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and second in total viewers with an average of 8.6 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” at 8 posted a 2.1/8 and 9.9 million viewers.

ABC was second in ratings with a 1.7/7 and third in viewers with 6 million. “The Bachelor: After the Final Rose” from 8-10 scored a 2.2/8 and 7.7 million viewers. At 10, “Kevin (Probably) Saves the World” settled for a 0.7/3 and 2.6 million viewers.
CBS was third in ratings with a 1.2/5, but first in viewers with 10.4 million. “NCIS” at 8 put up a 1.4/6 and 12.8 million viewers. At 9, “Bull” had a 1.1/4 and 10 million viewers. “NCIS: New Orleans” at 10 got a 0.9/4 and 8.3 million viewers.
