CBS finished first in total viewers and tied with NBC atop the advertiser-sought 18-49 demographic on Tuesday night, but that doesn’t mean the evening was a success.
Part 1 of the TV movie “The Dovekeepers” didn’t fly, getting a mere 1.0 rating in the key demo. The Roma Downey-Mark Burnett project had 9 million total viewers.
Fox’s “Weird Loners” had an unpopular premiere itself, receiving just a 0.7 rating and 1.9 million total viewers.
CBS and NBC tied for first in ratings, both with a 1.4 rating/4 share in main demo. CBS was first in total viewers with 11.4 million, NBC was second with 5.6 million.
For CBS, “NCIS” at 8 p.m. earned a 2.1/7 and 16.3 million viewers — both highs on the night. “The Dovekeepers” followed at 9 p.m.
For NBC, “The Voice” at 8 had a 1.9/7 and 8.4 million viewers. That is down and soft for sure, but last night’s episode was simply a clip show. At 9, “Undateable” got a 1.4/4 and 5.1 million viewers. “One Big Happy” at 9:30 received a 1.2/3 and 4 million viewers. A rerun followed.
