On Tuesday night, it was another preview night for NBC with new sitcom Crowded getting a preview after The Voice. First up, The Voice was down 2.3 million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week, perhaps getting hit some by Daylight Savings. Then two episodes of Crowded aired and the results were not terrible. The 10pm episode delivered a 1.7 demo and the 10:30pm episode got a 1.4 demo. This at least gave it some sampling but its 9:30pm Sunday slot will be quite difficult so anything resembling promising might disappear quickly. On CBS it was a steady night. The 300th episode of NCIS was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo, NCIS: New Orleans was up three tenths in viewers and even in the demo, and Limitless was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo.

Meanwhile, Tuesdays continued to be complete disasters for ABC and FOX where nothing topped a 1.1 demo. Even the usually solid 8pm anchors could not stand tall this week. On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat was down a rough eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. The demo is a new series low. It could only hold on so long. At 8:30pm, The Real O'Neals was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. Retention was better this week but a 1.0 demo is nothing to brag about. It got even worse the rest of the night. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo to a new series low. And Of Kings and Prophets fell off the map even at these low standards, tumbling nine tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo for a series low. Wicked City was pulled after a 0.4 demo so this could be curtains for this show. On FOX, New Girl ended its run of solid week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Of Kings and Prophets (ABC)
