Also on Sunday, Once Upon a Time soared +1.1 rating points over its L+SD Adult 18-49 rating to deliver a 2.9 and come within 1-tenth of its week-ago L+7 rating. In L+SD, OUAT was off by 3-tenths of a rating point week to week in the young adult demo.

On Tuesday, ABC's Fresh Off the Boat delivered increasing L+7 growth for the 3rd consecutive week, hitting a series high in TV playback among Adults 18-49 (+44%).

Growing to a 2.6 rating in L+7, ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. moved ahead of CBS' NCIS: New Orleans (2.4 rating) in Tuesday's 9 o'clock hour to lead by 8% among Adults 18-49. In the L+SD ratings, S.H.I.E.L.D. was 1-tenth of a rating point behind the CBS drama among young adults.

Head to head in Thursday's 9pm hour, ABC's Scandal solidified its victory over NBC's The Blacklist in the final L+7 ratings, leading the NBC drama by 24% among Adults 18-49 (4.2 rating vs. 3.4 rating).

ABC grows by +0.7 rating points (+44%) over its Live + Same Day Adult 18-49 rating (1.6 rating in L+SD to a 2.3 in L+7) in the non-sports averages, making the Net the biggest gainer in TV playback this season. Growing to a 2.3 L+7 rating among Adults 18-49 in the non-sports numbers, ABC is the only network up year to year (2.2 for 9/23/13-3/16/14), while CBS (-4%), NBC (-13%) and Fox (-10%) are each declining.
