It was a pretty soft Tuesday as spring is definitely upon us. ABC aired Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at a special time (9pm), and it was up a tenth in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best demo in a month. Is this a sign that ABC is thinking about moving this show to 9pm next year? It might not be a horrible idea. At 10pm, the season premiere of Celebrity Wife Swap was DOA, but above recent numbers for Mind Games (not to mention Killer Women and Lucky 7). This will suffice for the rest of the season but ABC needs to figure out this slot. It was a down night for CBS with NCIS down three tenths in viewers and a rough four tenths in the demo for its lowest performance since May 4, 2004 (its first season). At 9pm, NCIS: Los Angeles was up a tenth in viewers but down a tenth in the demo, tying a season low. At 10pm, Person of Interest was down eight tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

NBC inched up for the first part of the night. At 8pm, The Voice was up seven tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, About a Boy was up a tenth in viewers and the demo. It needed to rise after last week's troubling drop so this is a good thing. At 9:30pm, Growing Up Fisher was up four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. I still like this show's chances to come back, at least for a midseason order. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down a tenth in viewers and the demo for a season low. FOX was a mess as usual. At 8pm, Glee was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The overall trend for these two shows is absolutely terrible. To round out the night, The Mindy Project was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's 9:30pm episode.
