Tuesday night had the time period premiere for Fresh Off the Boat on ABC and the results were very promising with a two episode night. Understandably, it dropped big from last week's Wednesday numbers, but it was significantly better than anything Selfie or Manhattan Love Story got in the fall. People sought this show out and that's a win for a tough timeslot on ABC. It also seemed to help the rest of the night a bit. Marvel's Agent Carter was up a tenth in viewers and the demo while Forever was up two tenths in viewers and the demo. Over on FOX, Masterchef Junior fell four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo. Maybe it was the one-two punch of Boat and a stronger NCIS? At 9pm, New Girl was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo while The Mindy Project was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

CBS was up across the board. At 8pm, NCIS was up two tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for its best performance since the season premiere. At 9pm, NCIS: New Orleans was down three tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo. Person of Interest closed out the night up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. Finally, NBC was barely on the map. Parks and Recreation saw season lows at 8pm as the comedy competition from ABC may have hurt. At 9pm, Marry Me was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo while About a Boy was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Chicago Fire is getting no favors from this horrible comedy lineup. It was down two tenths in viewers and the demo. The demo is the lowest since December 2012. If I was NBC, I would just let a repeat air next week and bring this back when The Voice returns to the night. It has a built-in audience but it can only do so much.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Fresh Off the Boat (ABC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Parks and Recreation (NBC)
