CBS
The Tiffany Network let out its complete and powerful lineup Tuesday and came home with the #1 network position.

The Alphabet Network had a bit of a problem as its lead off dropped like a rock. At 8P, ‘The Muppets’ fell 28% from its premiere last week to finished with an average 5.780 million viewers and a 4.2/7. The viewers who took a look at the first episode may have found it to be very dated and a bit like a rerun. Just sayin that it may not hold up well in the second decade of the 21st Century.

Then at 10P, a further sampling of the season premier rerun of ‘Quantico’ finished with an average 4.210 million viewers and a 3.1/6. There is not much continuity in this schedule as it goes from old comedy format to a new comedy, to a comic strip feature to a drama. If there is a line of audience building in this missmash of a programming schedule, let us know.
FOX
The Animal Network of Broadcast brought out its new Tuesday lineup for the first time. At 8P, the series premiere of ‘Grandfathered’, starring John Stamos, finished with an average 5.340 million viewers and a 4.0/6.
