Demo Profile 2015 TUE.17 Feb

ABC:  The big challenge for FRESH OFF THE BOAT will be next week, when THE VOICE returns, but the 0.2 rise from last week (to 1.9) is certainly a good sign.  The prospects were less strong for the new REPEAT AFTER ME, which lost half a point from its lead-in at 1.4.  AGENT CARTER stayed at 1.4, and a COUNTDOWN TO THE OSCARS special was at 0.8.

CBS:  NCIS and its spin-off were both significantly down, the mothership by 0.4 to 2.5, and NEW ORLEANS by 0.3 to 2.0.  PERSON OF INTEREST was steady at 1.6.

NBC:  Each half-hour of the PARKS & RECREATION double-feature was up 0.1, to 1.2/1.1.  MARRY ME held at 0.8, but ABOUT A BOY dropped 0.2 to 0.7.  CHICAGO FIRE remained at 1.4.

FOX:  MASTERCHEF JR was up a big 0.4 to 1.8, then NEW GIRL and THE MINDY PROJECT each gained 0.1 to a respective 1.4/1.1.

CW:  THE FLASH slipped 0.1 to 1.4, while SUPERNATURAL was up 0.1 to 0.9.

Tonight’s event is the 2-hour series finale of THE MENTALIST.  The other networks all feature new episodes of their regular series.
