Tuesday Final Nationals: ‘This Is Us’ on NBC Reaches its Series-Best Tuesday Performance

The first Tuesday night of the 2017-18 TV season was much like how most Tuesdays have resulted in recent seasons: CBS tops in total viewers while NBC dominated all key demos.

On this night, NBC approximately averaged just 700,000 viewers less than CBS. The breakout demo hit of 2016-17, NBC’s “This Is Us”, began its second season with its best Tuesday ratings and viewer performance to-date.
