On Tuesday night, NBC started things with The Biggest Loser, which was down half a million viewers and a heavy three tenths in the demo, tying a season low. At 9pm, The Voice returned to one hour but it didn't make much of a difference. It was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 10pm, Chicago Fire returned after two weeks off and it was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite its Voice lead-in being down seven tenths from that day. This was a strong return for NBC's sophomore drama. CBS was basically steady from last week or slightly up. NCIS was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, NCIS: Los Angeles was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo, and Person of Interest was up eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo as it didn't have to face The Voice this week.

ABC saw yet another dive from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as it fell another half a million viewers and three tenths in the demo. Things are getting pretty bad for this show which continues to drop. It hasn't been able to slow the bleeding and it seems like it's a matter of time before it gets in the 1s for the demo after a 4.7 premiere not even two months ago. Next week is a cross-promotion with the new Thor movie in theaters and they better hope some of the millions of people who have gone to see the movie will tune in. At 9pm, The Goldbergs was up two tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from the series low. It's official now, this show has a completely different audience than Marvel as it's not following any sort of pattern. It is worth noting that it had its best retention yet. At 9:30pm, Trophy Wife was even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Its next new episode will not air until December.

FOX had a pretty rough night as nothing topped a 1.7 demo and everything was down. At 8pm, Dads fell half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a series low. Was a 1.2 demo worth a full season renewal? At 8:30pm, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo as the freshman comedy block had a rough week. At 9pm, New Girl was down two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. This show has really fallen apart since its breakout first season. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. The only saving grace is that all these shows skew quite young.
