Tuesday night had the season premiere of Marvel's Agent Carter and the show returned to really disappointing numbers. It was four tenths below its lowest result in the demo last year. Despite this slot being a Marvel slot, it looks like Agent Carter is another limited show that is a season two disaster. ABC didn't put a ton of stock into this show but they had to hope it would do better than that. On FOX, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Grandfathered followed and was down tenth in viewers and the demo. The viewer total is a series low and the demo ties a series low. At 9pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Grinder was even with its last airing. It's going to be a long spring for FOX on Tuesdays.

The CBS and NBC shows came back from their crossover events two weeks ago. On CBS, NCIS was down 1.5 million viewers and three tenths in the demo while NCIS: New Orleans was down a bigger four million viewers and seven tenths in the demo. The result two weeks ago was quite the aberration. At 10pm, Limitless was down a million viewers and two tenths in the demo to a new series low. At this point, this is not really an improvement over Person of Interest despite the early promise. Finally on NBC, Hollywood Game Night started things off up two tenths in viewers and the demo. At 9pm, Chicago Med was down 1.3 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing, which aired at 10pm. This is not bad at all with the much weaker lead-in. This show seems to be the real deal. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo from its last airing, which was at 9pm.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Fire (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Marvel's Agent Carter (ABC)
