  -Ratings Breakdown:
  CBS led in the Tuesday household overnights, but it was not a clean sweep like last week. Veteran “NCIS” topped the night, of course, with a 9.9 rating/15 share at 8 p.m. And that led into a dominant 7.6/12 for spin-off “NCIS: Orleans” at 9 p.m. Both scripted hours, however, were down from both one week earlier and the year-ago week.
  
  Week four of Eye net drama “Limitless” ultimately tied the season-premiere of NBC’s competing “Chicago Fire,” each with a 5.0/ 8 in the overnights from 10-11 p.m. But “Chicago Fire” will have no trouble winning the time period in all the key demos, and was up by 56 percent from “Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris” one week earlier (3.2/ 6 on Oct. 6). “Limitless,” in contrast, dipped by 18 percent from last week (versus a 6.1/11).
  
  Despite not having the benefit of leading out of “The Voice,” “Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris” moved into the 8 p.m. hour with a 3.1/ 5 in the overnights (#2), which was just one-tenth of a rating point behind the 3.2/ 6 at 10 p.m. last week.
  
  Rounding off the night for NBC was “The Voice” at a 7.0/11 (#2) in the 9 p.m. hour, which will certainly lead the evening in adults 18-49.
  
  Over at ABC, “The Muppets” continues to fade at a 3.1/ 5 at 8 p.m. (#2), which should result in about a 1.7 rating in adults 18-49. Consider this a major disappointment. Next was sophomore sitcom “Fresh Off the Boat” at a 3.0/ 5 at 8:30 p.m. (#3), followed by “Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD” (#3: 2.5/ 4 – down 14 percent from last week) and a repeat of “Shark Tank” (#3: 1.8/ 3) from 9-11 p.m.
  
  Fox had an abysmal Tuesday night showing care of series lows for recently introduced sitcoms “Grandfathered” (#5: 2.4/ 4) and “The Grinder” (#5: 2.0/ 3) and social media popular dramedy “Scream Queens” (#4: 1.9/ 3) from 8-10 p.m. And The CW’s pairing of “The Flash” (#4: 2.5/ 4) and “iZombie” (#5: 0.9/ 1) dropped by 7 and 18 percent, respectively.

  About the Daily Ratings
  
  Each day (except Sunday) during the main TV Season we post the TV Ratings for the previous nights primetime shows for the major broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, CW, FOX, NBC). Cable Network ratings will be added to the Ratings Database.
  
  The first item that gets posted (normally around 2pm GMT) is the early overnight analysis based on the early household numbers (these are not the same as the Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers that are posted later).
  
  Next, if available, we will post the Top 25 Market 18-49 Ratings to give you a rough idea of the ratings to following.
  
  Later on (normally between 4pm-5pm GMT) we post the official early overnight Total Viewers and 18-49 Demo numbers in the table above (We also where possible now post the 18-34 and 25-54 Demo Numbers).
  
  Finally, later in the evening (10pm-11pm GMT) or the following day, the final adjusted ratings numbers are released, these are then posted in the Ratings Database. The Final Adjusted numbers are what we use for all our Renew/Cancellation Tables, Full Season Tables, Ratings Scorecards etc (see below). Friday's Final Adjusted Ratings are normally available on the following Monday.
