Tuesday 5/11/21 Preliminary Ratings

Total Viewers:
CBS: 7.25 million, NBC: 4.55, Fox: 2.39, ABC: 1.97, CW: 620,000

Adults 18-49:
CBS and NBC: 0.6 rating/4 share each, Fox: 0.4/ 3, ABC: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.2/ 1

On this night of all network originals, CBS’ victory stemmed from its Tuesday drama trio “NCIS” (Viewers: #1 for the night, 8.61 million; A18-49: #1t: 0.6 rating/5 share at 8 p.m.), “FBI” (Viewers: #1, 7.43 million; A18-49: #2, 0.6/ 4 at 9 p.m.) and “FBI: Most Wanted” (Viewers: #1, 5.72 million; A18-49: #1, 0.5/ 4 at 10 p.m.). But under 9-million viewers for “NCIS”, of course, pales in comparison to its heyday of at least twice that much, as does the 4.06 million viewers (#2) who tuned in for NBC’s “This Is Us” at 9 p.m. 

Also on NBC, “The Voice” returned to the Tuesday 8 p.m. hour with 5.53 million viewers and a 0.6/ 4 in adults 18-49 (#1t). At 10 p.m., the network’s also diluted “New Amsterdam” (Viewers: #2, 3.21 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.4/ 3) had a slight advantage over competing drama “Big Sky” on ABC (Viewers: #3, 2.55 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3). Amazingly, less than 3-million viewers in these fast affiliate ratings was enough to warrant a second season renewal for “Big Sky.”

Earlier in the evening on ABC were three shows all under the 2-million viewers range: Competition series “Pooch Perfect” (Viewers: #4, 1.83 million; A18-49: #4, 0.3/ 2 from 8-9 p.m.) and 9-10 p.m. comedies “black-ish” (Viewers: #4, 1.58 million; A18-49: #4, 0.3/ 2) and prequel “MIxed-ish” (Viewers: #4, 1.59 million; A18-49: #4, 0.3/ 2). 

Elsewhere, “The Resident” (Viewers: #3, 2.92 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.) remains the stronger of the two dramas on Fox. “Prodigal Son” followed with 1.87 million viewers (#3) and a 0.4/ 3 (#3) in the demo at 8 p.m. And “The Flash” and “Supergirl”, as with any CW series, does not resonate in the traditional Nielsen ratings. See the network averages above.
