Total Viewers:
CBS: 7.02 million, NBC: 5.99, ABC: 2.19, Fox: 1.11, CW: 759,000

Adults 18-49:
NBC: 0.7 rating/5 share, CBS: 0.6/ 4, ABC: 0.5/ 3, Fox: 0.2/ 2, CW: 0.2/ 1

In season finale news, NBC’s “The Voice” is certainly not what it used to be at 6.46 million (#2) and a 0.7 rating/5 share in adults 18-49 (#1) in the Tuesday 8-10 p.m. ET. It competed against part one of ABC’s “Mike Tyson: The Knockout”, which was left at the starting gate a just 2.60 million viewers #3) and a 0.5/ 4 (#3) in the demo. And it led to the 10 p.m. season-ending episode of “This Is Us” at 5.07 million viewers (#2) and a 0.8/ 6 in adults 18-49 (#1). Remember when this show was a much bigger attraction?

ABC also featured Tuesday 10 p.m. news special “After Floyd: The Year That Shook the World” (Viewers: #3, 1.37 million; A18-49: #3, 0.3/ 2).

Also concluding for the season were CBS dramas “NCIS” (Viewers: #1, 8.50 million; A18-49: #1t, 0.7/ 5 at 8 p.m.), “FBI” (Viewers: #1, 6.91 million; A18-49: #2, 0.6/ 4 at 9 p.m.) and “FBI: Most Wanted” (Viewers: #1, 5.64 million; A18-49: #2t, 0.5/ 3 at 10 p.m.). Next season, upcoming “FBI: International” steps into the Tuesday 9 p.m. hour on CBS out of relocated “FBI” and “FBI: Most Wanted.” “NCIS” moves to Monday at 9 p.m.

Ending its one season run, meanwhile, was Fox competition series “Game of Talents” at a modest 1.07 million viewers (#4) and a 0.2/ 2 in adults 18-49 (#4) at 8 p.m. It led into the second season premiere of trivia game show “Mental Samurai”, hosted by Rob Lowe, at 1.14 million viewers (#4) and a 0.2/ 2 (#4) in the demo at 9 p.m.

Elsewhere, diluted compatibility for CW dramas “The Flash” (Viewers: #5, 697,000; A18-49: #5, 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “Superman & Lois” (Viewers: #5, 820,000; A18-49: #5, 0.2/ 1 at 9 p.m.).
