On Tuesday night, The Voice ended its fall run rising a nice 1.9 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. It was down from last fall's finale but had a bigger spike relative to its recent ratings so that was a positive. This fall's edition of The Voice started really well but had some rough year-to-year trends as it went on. We'll see how the spring goes but the good news for NBC is they are much better equipped to weather The Voice hiatus than they were a couple years ago. The Voice will be back at the end of February. On the other end of the spectrum, it was FOX with another weak night. Brooklyn Nine-Nine was down a tenth in viewers and the demo and New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. At 9pm, Scream Queens barely stayed above a million viewers, falling a tenth in viewers and staying even in the demo.

On CBS, NCIS was up a tenth in viewers and down a tenth in the demo, tying a series low. This was a pretty bad result considering it only had to face the recap hour of The Voice. At 9pm, Bull was down a tenth in viewers and the demo. The demo is a new series low. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo despite the final hour of The Voice airing against it. Finally on ABC, the comedies and their Christmas episodes were up across the board. At 8pm, The Middle was up three tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a nice rebound. American Housewife was up two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo. At 9pm, Fresh Off the Boat and The Real O'Neals were both even in viewers and up a tenth in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: The Voice (NBC)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
