At 8:00 p.m., ABC's "Fresh Off the Boat" defeated Fox's "New Girl" by 1.9 million Total Viewers (4.2 million vs. 2.3 million) and by 10% in Adults 18-49 (1.1/4 vs. 1.0/4) to rank as the No. 1 Tuesday comedy for the 2nd week in row.

"The Real O'Neals" (8:30-9:00 p.m. - 3.6 million and 1.0/4 in AD18-49):

Holding 91% of its week-earlier premiere with young adults, against the backdrop of Daylight Saving Time and an original of CBS' "NCIS," ABC's "The Real O'Neals" once again delivered the Net's best-ever retention in the 8:30 p.m. half-hour out of "Fresh Off the Boat" in Total Viewers (86%) and Adults 18-49 (91%).

Opposite the second hour of NBC's "The Voice" and original drama competition on CBS ("NCIS: NO") at 9:00 p.m., ABC's "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." held steady with its mid-season return last week in Adults 18-49 (1.0/3 vs. 1.1/4).

Projections Rationale:

Lifts vs. L+SD are based on the 2015-16 season for premiere telecast or an average for originals (excluding the premiere).

Returning shows: Profile based on same show (either premiere or averages for originals).

New Series: Based on similar series.

A note about DVR penetration: DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample is currently at 48% in U.S. TV Homes. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which are increasingly not reflected in the overnight Live + Same Day numbers. As a result, the Live + 7 Day ratings are the most accurate measure to gauge the size of the TV audience
