On Tuesday night, NBC had its successful lineup with two shows that got good news at the TCA Tour today. At 8pm, The Wall was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. It got an order for 20 more episodes today, but it's not announced when or where those additional episodes will air with The Voice coming back in a little over a month. At 9pm, This is Us returned to its regular slot after its series high at 10pm last week. It was down nine tenths in viewers and four tenths in the demo. That seems like a steep drop but there was so much attention last week to it and this is more in line with normal episodes. It received a two-season renewal today. At 10pm, Chicago Fire was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo from the last episode, which aired at 9pm two weeks ago. On FOX, New Girl was down a tenth in viewers and the demo while The Mick was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo but still built on its New Girl lead-in. At 9pm, Bones was down four tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo from last week's episode, which didn't start until 9:55pm.

On ABC, The Middle was down six tenths in viewers and even in the demo while American Housewife was down four tenths in viewers and even in the demo. The 9pm comedies didn't hold up as well. Fresh Off the Boat was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo while The Real O'Neals was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo to tie a series low. At 10pm, Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was down seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for a new series low. How can ABC justify renewing this show for a fifth season? We'll see if they do. On CBS, NCIS was down three tenths in viewers and up a tenth in the demo. Bull was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo, getting a sixth 1.5 demo in the last seven episodes. At 10pm, NCIS: New Orleans was down three tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on the CW, the season (and most certainly series) finale of No Tomorrow was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo.

WINNER OF THE NIGHT: NCIS (CBS)
LOSER OF THE NIGHT: Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (ABC)
