Ratings Breakdown:
CBS topped this Tuesday in the households care of its combination of “NCIS” (#1 for the night: 8.2 rating/13 share), “FBI” (#2: 6.0/10) and “NCIS: New Amsterdam” (#2: 5.0/ 9). But the positive news for ABC is sitcom “The Conners,” which at a 5.0/ 8 in the 8 p.m. half-hour was 25 percent above year-ago time period occupant “The Middle” (4.0/ 7 on 11/14/17. While “The Conners” is not at the inflated levels of “Roseanne” last spring, it has settled into a very respectable performance.

Airing out of “The Conners” was recent entry “The Kids Are Alright” at a 3.2/ 5 at 8:30 p.m. (#3), which led into ‘black-ish” (#3: 3.1/ 5), “Splitting Up Together” (#3t: 2.2/ 4) and “The Rookie” (#3: 3.0 5) from 9-11 p.m. All were at typical overnight levels.

NBC featured its regular Tuesday rotation of “The Voice” (#2: 6.0/10), “This Is Us” (#2: 6.0/10) and “New Amsterdam” (#2: 4.2/ 8), which were all at standard levels as well. “This Is Us” is a lock for the night in adults 18-49 (and all the key demos). And Fox and The CW were also on par with recent overnight levels.
