Nearly every show on Tuesday’s primetime lineup took a beating last week from the double whammy that was Halloween and the World Series, but it turns out that the rebound has been well worth it.
NBC dominated the night with This Is Us (9.8 mil/2.5) rising 25 percent in the key 18-49 demo and Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders (4.1 mil/0.9) rising 29 percent in the demo. The Voice (9.4/1.9) remained steady, maintaining its measurements from the previous week.

Elsewhere, Tuesday night was a success for ABC with The Middle (5.6 mil/1.3), Fresh Off the Boat (3.7 mil/1.0), black-ish (3.8 mil/1.1), The Mayor (2.7 mil/0.8) and Kevin Probably Saves the World (2.9 mil/0.7) each rising a tenth in the demo.

Fox’s lineup, which was back after two weeks to make way for the World Series, also had a successful night, though it was a bit shakier than other networks. Lethal Weapon (4 mil/1.0) was up a tenth, The Mick (2.1 mil/0.7) was down, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (1.5 mil/0.6) held steady.
