Spotted Ratings, Tuesday 1/19/16

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: Hollywood Game Night adjusted up to a new season high 1.3, and Chicago Fire also went up to 1.8.

• ABC brought back its Tuesday bridge series Marvel's Agent Carter (0.9) with one of the season's most disappointing returnee results; this went at least three tenths below its season one low and was down about half from last year's series premiere. It led out of a Marvel special on 75 years of Captain America (0.9) at 8/7c, and week two doesn't offer a lot of hope for the future as Carter will have to lead out of comedy repeats.

• Carter just barely avoided the ultimate in Marvel vs. DC embarrassment: losing head-to-head against DC Comics preview specials. Though the CW had a low-end return from The Flash (1.3), it got really good numbers in the 9/8c hour with a half-hour preview of the upcoming series Legends of Tomorrow (0.9), followed by a preview of upcoming movies from DC Films (0.8) at 9:30.

• The NBC and CBS dramas came back to earth after huge crossover-boosted results two weeks ago.
• On CBS, NCIS (2.4) was down three tenths, and NCIS: New Orleans (1.8) was pretty much back to normal levels and down seven tenths. Limitless continued its very shaky start to 2016 with a new low 1.2.
• NBC had Hollywood Game Night (1.2), Chicago Med (1.6) and Chicago Fire (1.7). It was a new low for Med, but still a really solid rating since this was the first time it ever aired with no Voice and no crossover. Compared with what NBC was doing during last year's Tuesday Voice hiatus (fractional comedies at 9/8c and 1.5ish Chicago Fire at 10/9c), this lineup is quite an improvement.

• And Fox saw some minor comedy slippage with New Girl (1.3), Grandfathered (0.9), Brooklyn Nine-Nine (1.1) and The Grinder (even at 0.8).
