For the week in viewers, CBS (12.79m) beat ABC (11.36m), NBC (10.93m) and FOX (6.36m). Season-to-date in viewers, CBS (12.99m) is first followed by ABC (11.67m), NBC (10.32m), FOX (8.52m) and the CW (3.45m).

For the week in key demographics, CBS was first in adults 25-54 (4.9/11, for the seventh consecutive week) and a competitive third in adults 18-49 (3.8/10, -0.1 behind ABC, -0.2 behind NBC). Season-to-date, CBS is first in adults 25-54 and second in adults 18-49 (just -0.2 behind ABC).
