“The Code” should’ve stayed behind “NCIS.” On Monday, in its actual time-period premiere following “Man With a Plan,” the CBS drama shed 46% of last Tuesday’s series debut viewers.
NBC won primetime last night with the Cross Battles round of “The Voice.” ABC and Fox tied for second-place among adults 18-49, though CBS split up those two networks in terms of total viewers.
“The Code” skipped last Monday for two reasons: First, that “NCIS” boost. Second, CBS aired the NCAA National Championship seven nights ago.
NBC was first in ratings with a 1.1 rating/5 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 6.4 million, according to preliminary numbers. “The Voice” from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. averaged a 1.3 rating/6 and 7.6 million viewers. “The Enemy Within” at 10 received a 0.6/3 and 4 million viewers.
