The hottest World Series in years had another dominant night on Tuesday as Game 6 delivered the best numbers for a Game 6 in nearly 20 years. And it led to a Game 7 which must make FOX even happier. The numbers for Game 7 tonight should be incredible. CBS made a last minute decision to send their shows into repeats so they wouldn't have to compete with the World Series. It was probably a wise decision. NBC went with a clip show of The Voice at 8pm and that meant an even more impressive performance from This is Us, which was down just two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo despite a much lower lead-in and World Series competition. This show is 100% the real deal. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.

ABC saw mostly minor declines. At 8pm, The Middle was down three tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. American Housewife was down a tenth in viewers and a tenth in the demo but it built on its lead-in for a fourth straight week. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat was down half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo. This is looking more like an 8:30 or 9:30 show and not an anchor. The Real O'Neals was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo for the worst drop in the lineup. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up a tenth in viewers and even in the demo as it didn't get any worse even against male-skewing baseball. Finally on the CW, The Flash and No Tomorrow were both even with last week.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: This is Us (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: The Real O'Neals (ABC)
