Fast National ratings for Monday, January 7, 2014.
“Intelligence” capitalized on a big “NCIS” lead-in to get a huge overall sampling on Tuesday night, helping CBS win primetime in all measures.
Among young viewers, the “Intelligence” preview wasn’t quite as massive, but CBS is likely quite pleased with reaching 16.5+ million eyeballs before next Monday’s time period premiere and also with the relatively limited tune-out at the half-hour for the Josh Holloway drama.
There was probably less pleasure over at ABC, where “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” “The Goldbergs” and “Trophy Wife” all performed in their normal range, but “Killer Women” became the network’s second straight premiere to launch with under a 1.0 in the key demo.
FOX, meanwhile, may be wondering where the “New Girl” audience has disappeared to. “New Girl” was still FOX’s top Tuesday comedy in the key demo, but it finished behind both “Dads” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” overall.
On to the numbers…
Among adults 18-49, CBS averaged a 2.4 rating for Tuesday night, easily winning the key demographic. NBC was second with a 1.8 key demo rating, followed by the 1.5 rating for FOX and ABC. The CW averaged a 0.4 key demo rating for Tuesday.
Overall, CBS averaged an estimated 16.45 million viewers and a 10.1 rating/16 share for Tuesday night, beating the combined totals for the other four networks.
