-Ratings Breakdown:
It was a clean Tuesday overnight sweep for CBS with its combination of “NCIS” (12.3 rating/19 share – No. 1 for the night), “NCIS: Los Angeles” (10.0/15) and “Person of Interest” (8.2/14), which bested year-ago occupant “Vegas” (7.0/12 on 1/05/13) by 17 percent.

In week two news, ABC drama “Killer Women” dropped to a very distant third-place 2.5/ 5 at 10 p.m., which was 11 percent below the already DOA 2.8/ 5 one week earlier. And that 2.8 in the overnights translated into a mere 3.96 million viewers and a 0.9 rating/2 share among adults 18-49. But since ABC just yanked “The Assets” after two episodes, it will probably air the remaining episodes of deadly “Killer Women.”

Earlier in the evening on ABC was “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.LD.” with a series-low 3.9/ 6 from 8-9 p.m. (#2), followed by sitcoms “The Goldbergs” (#3: 3.1/ 5) and “Trophy Wife” (#3: 2.3/ 3) from 9-10 p.m. While “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” will, no doubt, resonate among young adults, this is not the big hit the network was hoping for. And “The Goldbergs” has the best chance of snagging a second season renewal among ABC’s low-rated freshman mix.

Elsewhere, third-place NBC featured two-hours of utility player “The Biggest Loser” (3.7/ 6 from 8-10 p.m.) into a second-place 4.1/ 7 for “Chicago Fire” at 10 p.m. Fox continues to under-perform with its live-action comedy combination of “Dads” (#4: 2.2/ 3), Golden Globe winner “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” (#4: 2.6/ 4), “New Girl” (#4: 2.6/ 4) and “The Mindy Project” (#4: 2.1/ 3), which will be taking a break shortly. And The CW was on par with typical Tuesday overnight levels care of “The Originals” (#5: 1.5/ 2) and “Supernatural” (#5: 1.5/ 2), which is positive news for both. Consider “The Originals” a shoo-in to return next season, with a pick-up for veteran “Supernatural” dependent on the cost factor and the availability of all involved.

As a reminder, Tuesday on Fox in midseason will feature freshman comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” at a new time, 9:30 p.m., on Feb. 4 (and in place of “The Mindy Project,” which is taking a break until April 1). And “Glee” moves into the Tuesday 8 p.m. hour on Feb. 25 (with “Dads” at 8 p.m. taking a break).

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.

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.
