Tuesday was one of ABC's few trouble spots in the fall, with Selfie and Manhattan in particular setting what would be a very easy bar for The Muppets and sophomore Fresh Off the Boat to clear. The network also saw Agents of SHIELD come down significantly from its front-loaded season one average, and newbie Forever didn't do much either. But SHIELD and Forever were big enough improvements on the horrible occupants in the last 90 minutes that the nightly decline wasn't that catastrophic.
Period drama Wicked City takes over at 10/9c after four weeks of Beyond the Tank.

| 2015-16 | NCIS | NCIS: New Orleans | LIMITLESS | ||||
CBS traded out longtime NCIS lead-out NCIS: Los Angeles for the franchise's third entry NCIS: New Orleans, and the transition was seamless as New Orleans did almost exactly what LA probably would have in the hour. Both of the NCIS hours continued their gradual descent in Plus, but the drops were noticeably steeper at 10/9c with Person of Interest. That got Person bumped to midseason, while newbie Limitless takes over at 10/9c.

| 2015-16 | BEST TIME EVER | The Voice Tue Fall | Chicago Fire | ||||
NBC tried again in fall and spring to launch comedies after The Voice, but got very little to show for it. Marry Me and About a Boy got the axe (their averages using just post-Voice episodes were 89/71), while only the summer import Undateable (84) survived to another season. But Chicago Fire remained resilient with mostly bad lead-ins at 10/9c.
There will be a bunch of maneuvering to accommodate Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris in the early fall; it starts at 10/9c for two Tuesdays, then moves to 8/7c. In mid-November, NBC will launch Chicago Med, the third prong of the Dick Wolf Chicago empire, at 9/8c.

Reality bomb Utopia is not included above since it lasted for just two regular season Tuesdays. It gave way to two short cycles of MasterChef Junior, which surged to league average-ish ratings in its move to a weeknight. Hell's Kitchen filled in with a mediocre 73 Plus from March through early June. After another year of Plus declines, Mindy was cancelled and New Girl bumped to midseason, and Fox will start totally from scratch this fall.
The CW

Tuesday was already the CW's strongest night in 2013-14... and they went and improved on it by thirty-nine percent in 2014-15. (It's technically a little less if you combine Supernatural's numbers with what iZombie did from mid-March onward. But still a lot.) The Flash had the biggest A18-49+ in the history of the CW and was very close to having the biggest netlet season on record, just a point behind 2002-03 Smallville. It will lead into OK midseason performer iZombie (39) again this fall, as the newest DC series Legends of Tomorrow waits in the wings patiently.
