Tuesday night had the addition of Dancing and Rudolph to the night. ABC had the 17th edition finale of Dancing with the Stars on but first up at 8pm was Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which was up 2.8 million viewers and two tenths in the demo. The viewer total is the best since the series premiere while the demo is the best in over a month. The huge jump in total viewers seems to suggest there is more crossover audience with NCIS, which was not on, than we may have thought. At 9pm, the season finale of Dancing with the Stars was a big improvement for the time period but down big from last fall's 3.0 demo and even last spring's 2.7 demo for the finales. Of course it hasn't aired on Tuesdays all season so that may play a factor too but this show continues to be on the decline. 

CBS started with the classic holiday special Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, which was up slightly from last year's presentation. It was on par with the NCIS demo but skewed way younger. At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was down 2.7 million viewers but just a tenth in the demo. At 10pm, Person of Interest was down four tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo for its best demo in over a month. Los Angeles and Interest held up well without the NCIS lead-in. On NBC, The Biggest Loser started things off up a tenth in viewers and the demo. The Voice was down 1.3 million viewers and two tenths in the demo for a season low. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down six tenths in viewers but up two tenths in the demo despite the lead-in being down.

Every single show on ABC, CBS, and NBC was above a 2.0 demo Tuesday night but nothing on FOX was. At 8pm, Dads was even in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. This show is starting to look much weaker than Brooklyn Nine-Nine when it comes to the two struggling freshmen. At 8:30pm, Brooklyn was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, New Girl was up two tenths in viewers and the demo as it regained a little bit of ground from the bad series lows it's been hitting. At 9:30pm, The Mindy Project was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo.
