Despite an off night from its key Monday players, NBC took the night’s primetime broadcast battle, scoring a 2.3 rating in viewers 18-49, per Nielsen overnights, and a 7 share. ABC was runner-up at 2.1/6, then CBS at 1.5/4, Fox at 1.0/3 and CW at 0.3/1.

On CBS, it was Supergirl at 1.5, down 17%, while Scorpion was up 6% at 1.7 and NCIS: Los Angeles flat at 1.2. CBS had held this episode of Supergirl, featuring a suicide bomber, following the terror attacks in Paris. A new episode of NCIS: Los Angeles was held back for the same reason.
