Ratings Analysis:
CBS is the network to beat in the Tuesday household overnights, dominating in all six half-hours care of its combination of “NCIS” (#1 for the night: 9.5 rating/15 share), week two of drama “Bull” (8.6/14) and relocated “NCIS: New Orleans” (6.9/12), which was 10 percent above failed year-ago 10 p.m. drama “Limitless” (6.3/11 on 9/29/15). But NBC is a lock in all the key demographic groups as a result of two more hours of “The Voice” (#2: 7.9/13 from 8-10 p.m.) and week two of just full season-renewed “This Is Us” (#2: 5.7/10).
Comparably, “Bull” dipped by a typical 11 percent from its week ago-week debut (9.7/ 5 on Sept. 20, which translated into 15.56 million viewers and a 2.2 rating/7 share in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data). “This Is Us,” meanwhile, slipped by 11 percent in the overnights from its opener (6.4/11 on Sept. 20, which resulted in 10.07 million viewers and a 2.8/10 in adults 18-49, based on the Live + Same Day data). But “This Is Us” was still a hefty 42 percent above short-lived variety hour “The Best Time Ever With Neil Patrick Harris” on the year-ago evening (4.0/ 7 on 9/29/15).

First Presidential Debate Scores a Record 84-Million Viewers
The latest tally for the first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump is now estimated at a record 84 million viewers from 9-10:39 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26 (based on 13 networks airing it live). The record was previously held by Jimmy Carter vs. Ronald Reagan, which received a total of 80.6 million viewers on October 28, 1989.
This does not include the 3 million viewers who tuned in on PBS, or who watched the debate on live streaming services. While the final tally will increase, the debate will still fall short of the 100+ million viewers some analysts were predicting.
