Total Viewers: 
CBS: 4.32 million, NBC: 3.36, ABC: 2.65, Fox: 1.34, CW: 925,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.5 rating/4 share, ABC and CBS: 0.4/ 3 each, Fox: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.2/ 1

Despite airing all repeats, CBS led this third Tuesday in total viewers. NBC topped the night in adults 18-49, led by “This Is Us” at a diluted 0.7 rating/6 share in the demo (and a dominant 4.70 million viewers at 9 p.m.). It led out of recent low-rated NBC comedies “American Auto” (Viewers: #3, 2.29 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.4/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and “Grand Crew” (Viewers: #3, 1.67 million; A18-49: #2, 0.4/ 3 at 8:30 p.m.). And it led into medical drama “New Amsterdam” at 3.74 million viewers (#1) and a 0.4/ 3 in the demo (#1) at 10 p.m.

On ABC, episode three of comical “Judge Steve Harvey” remained promising at 4.33 million viewers (#2) and a 0.6/ 5 in adults 18-49 (#1) in the Tuesday 8 p.m. ET hour. You can absolutely count on a second season. Ditto for newbie sitcom lead-out “Abbott Elementary” at 2.86 million viewers (#3) and a 0.5/ 4 (#2) in the demo in the 9 p.m. hour hour. That led into soon-to-conclude “black-ish” (Viewers: #3, 1.95 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3/ 3 at 9:30 p.m.), which never attracted a sizeable audience in any of its eight seasons, and failing freshman drama “Queens” (Viewers: #3, 1.21 million; A18-49: #3, 0.2/ 2 at 10 p.m.). Don’t expect “Queens” to return next season.

Elsewhere, Fox’s struggling “Our Kind of People” (Viewers: #4, 1.10 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2 at 9 p.m.) led out a repeat of “9-1-1: Lone Star.” And The CW featured “Superman & Lois” (Viewers: 1.11 million; A18-49: 0.2/ 2 at 8 p.m.), which is the network’s most-watched regularly scheduled series; and week two of new superhero drama “Naomi” (Viewers: 734,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 9 p.m.). Both finished last in their time periods.
