Adults 18-49:
ABC, CBS and NBC: 0.5 rating/4 share each, Fox: 0.3/ 2, CW: 0.1/ 1

Compatibility remained the observation on the CBS “FBI” trio, which fared as follows:

CBS/Tuesday
8:00 p.m. “FBI”
Viewers: 7.10 million (#1 for the night); A18-49: 0.6 rating/5 share (#2)

9:00 p.m. “FBI: International”
Viewers: 5.92 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 4 (#2t)

10:00 p.m. “FBI: Most Wanted”
Viewers: 5.48 million (#1); A18-49: 0.5/ 5 (#1)

On ABC, the “Jeopardy!” National College Tournament concluded with 5.45 million (#2) and a 0.7/ 6 (#1) in adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. While lead-out freshman comedy “Abbott Elementary” dipped to 2.85 million viewers (#3) in the Tuesday 9 p.m. half-hour, the retention in the demo (#2, 0.6/ 5) was positive.

Next on ABC was soon-to-conclude “black-ish” (Viewers: #3, 1.94 million; A18-49: #3, 0.4/ 3 at 9:30 p.m.), followed by the low-rated season premiere of Anthony Anderson-hosted “To Tell the Truth” at 10 p.m. (Viewers: #3, 1.82 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3). Including the return of NBC’s “Law & Order”, that makes three different regularly scheduled prime series for Anderson.

On NBC, recently introduced Tuesday comedies “American Auto” (Viewers: #4, 1.98 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.4/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and “Grand Crew” (Viewers: #4, 1.48 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.3/ 2 at 8:30 p.m.) remained a bust. And they led into also soon-to-conclude “This Is Us” (Viewers: #2, 4.28 million; A18-49: #1, 0.7/ 6 at 9 p.m.), which is a shell of what it once was in these fast affiliate ratings, and medical drama “New Amsterdam” (#2, 2.80 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.3/ 3 at 10 p.m.).

In season (or, more likely, series) finale news was “The Real Dirty Dancing” on Fox at a mere 1.35 million viewers *#4) and a 0.2/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#4) at 9 p.m. It led out of 3.02 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3/ 3 in the demo (#t) for “The Resident” at 8 p.m. And The CW featured “Superman & Lois” (Viewers: 793,000; A18-49: 0.2/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and the recently introduced superhero drama “Naomi” (Viewers: 499,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.). Both finished last in their time periods.
