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.

AHS is just bad this year. Went to the extremes this year. This is Us is good as always..
I actually like this edition of AHS. Pretty damn scary.
Very surprised Hannity gained over a million viewers just moving time slot…
Dear @SonOfTheBronx:disqus , hey old friend! Hope you are enjoying the new season. So far, it has been a great premiere week with a bunch of great surprises ratings wise. Sheldon and Good Doctor set the tone for a great season.
I have two small requests for you (as usual eheh). First, will you be be doing the wonderful thing you were doing last year of publishing the unrounded L+SD and unrounded L3 for every day? That would be awesome.
Second, do you think I could bother you with the unrounded L3 for shows that premiered before premiere week? I would love to keep them on my archive. They would be:
– Orville 10th September
– Orville 17th September
– Gotham and Orville 21st September
– Dancing with the Stars 18th September
– The Good Place 20th September
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for chiming in again, omabin.
I’ve added L+3 grids to each finals post thru Sep. 26. You can access them via https://programmingins.wpengine.com/category/ratings/final-nationals/
