For Tuesday, October 28, 2014 (Posted 10.29.14)
CBS #1 on Tuesday. ‘NCIS’ #1 on Tuesday.
CBS
The Tiffany Network still had the power of the #1 program on television and not even the World Series could dislodge it. AT 8P, ‘NCIS’ was again #1 for the evening with 17.53 million viewers and a 10.9/17 with another Must See TV ON DEMAND episode of a very very disturb young child. At 9P, the spin-off, ‘NCIS: New Orleans’ was up to the challenge of Halloween in New Orleans with 16.09 million viewers and a 9.8/15. At 10P, the every confusing ‘Person of Interest’ only had one good part in an arc that will take the series down, that being the mafia-type friend of John reappeared and gave the series part of its muscle back, could only draw 9.72 million viewers and a 6.2/1. If this show does not get back to its basics, it will be finished well before it should even if it does draw over 10+ million viewers in Live+7.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast finally understands the power of baseball and the Fall Classic. On Tuesday, it did what few have done…nearly beat CBS on a Tuesday. And this Tuesday, Game Six of the ‘2014 World Series’ was power programming. It drew 13.37 million viewers and the Kansas City Royals victory, 10-0 over the San Francisco Giants in Kansas City, inched past normally dominant CBS by one-tenth of a rating point. Comparably, this was a series-high, beating Game Five on Sunday (7.9/12 on Oct. 26) by 15% in the overnights. And that game translated into 12.63 million viewers.
NBC
The Peacock Network had its singing power and it kept 30 Rock in the game on Tuesday. At 8P, ‘The Voice’ drew 11.35 million viewers and a 7.7/12. At 9P, ‘Marry Me’ dropped like a rock with only 5.06 million viewers and a 3.8/6. At 930P, ‘About a Boy’ slipped due to the poor lead-in to 4.11 million viewers and a 3.1/5 in the overnights, which was 6% below the 3.3/5 one week earlier. At 10P it led into drama ‘Chicago Fire’ at a consistent 7.23 million viewers and a 4.8/8. Note to ‘Person Of Interest’ crew: watch out. ‘Chicago Fire’ is coming after you, even if it is 2.5 million viewers behind.
ABC
The Alphabet Network’s ship did not leave port on Tuesday. At 8P, the special ‘The Great Halloween Fright Flight’ finished with a poor 3.75 million viewers and a 2.4/4 in the overnights. Next at 8P was ‘Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD’ which could only draw 4.44 million viewers and a 2.9/4, which was a series low for an original episode. And that led at 10P into the only bright spot of the evening for Disneyville as the new drama, ‘Forever’ drew 4.95 million viewers and a 3.4/6, which with an identical overnight rating one week earlier. ABC may have a keeper here as the cast is tremendous and the writing, very clever. This episode about four high school preppy friends was a Must See TV ON DEMAND program.
The CW
The Little Network That Couldn’t did for part of the evening. At 8P, one of the brightest of new programming appeared as ‘The Flash’ delivered 3.53 million viewers and a 2.6/4, which was a hefty 62% above former time period occupant ‘The Originals’ on the year-ago evening (1.6/2 on 10/29/13). One week earlier, ‘The Flash’ drew 3.59 million viewers and a 2.7/ 4 in the overnights, based on the Live + Same Day data, which is a definite positive for The CW. At 9P, ‘Supernatural’ dropped to a typical 1.93 million viewers and a 1.5/2, which was 7% above the 1.4/2 one year earlier. ‘The Flash’ is here and improving The CW’s odds every week.
