On Tuesday night, the Chicago twins were new for the first time since February 23 and airing after The Voice for the first time since December. First up, The Voice was up three tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo. Chicago Med responded to its bigger lead-in by surging to its best numbers since December, rising 2.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo from its last airing. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was up nine tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. These two Chicago shows are not the most dynamic post-Voice options for NBC but they hold up a whole lot better when The Voice is off because they have more of their own audience. CBS was only new at 10pm with a special based off of James Corden's popular late night sketch. It did alright considering that Corden's show has a loyal but small following.

On ABC, Fresh Off the Boat was even with last week while The Real O'Neals was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. These two shows have been fairly compatible but I don't think that'll be enough to save O'Neals with the deep comedy bench ABC has. At 9pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. ABC's cursed 10pm timeslot continued with Beyond the Tank plunging to its worst demo ever by half a demo point. This result got Of Kings and Prophets cancelled but Tank is cheaper and more of a filler. Finally on FOX, New Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine both tied series lows with Girl dropping a tenth in viewers and the demo and Brooklyn even with its last airing.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: Chicago Med (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Beyond the Tank (ABC)
