Tuesday night had the Vice Presidential Debate eating up 9-11pm on four networks but its combined ratings were the worst since 2000. Only CW aired a regular lineup with their Tuesday premiere night. At 8pm, The Flash was down just a tenth in the demo from last year's premiere but it held up extremely well throughout the season so we'll see if that happens again. It beat FOX and was a tenth behind ABC in the demo. It led into the premiere of No Tomorrow, which did not get off to a good start at a 0.5 demo. While this might be OK for the CW regularly, it was weak for a premiere where there was little entertainment competition. With four shows on the bench, No Tomorrow may only see half a season. The 8pm hour for the other networks was pretty standard. NBC had a clip show of The Voice, which did pretty well for a clip show. As usual, NBC was also on top among the broadcast networks for debate analysis. On CBS, NCIS had a down week, dropping 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo, tying a series low. On ABC, the results edition of Dancing with the Stars was up a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. It will return to one night a week next week as the comedy lineup premieres next Tuesday. Finally on FOX, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while New Girl was even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Flash (CW)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: No Tomorrow (CW)
