NCIS ratings were back on the move Nov. 11, as Season 17 rebounded this week from last week’s losses. See the latest NCIS numbers.
NCIS ratings climbed back toward their usual self on Tuesday, one week after the series took a hit in live viewers.
This week’s episode “No Vacancy” reeled in 11.5 million people live. That’s a considerable lift from the prior Tuesday’s mark of 10.74 (+0.76, or an extra 760,000 viewers).
It’s also the CBS drama’s best result in three weeks. With that in mind, it’s no shocker to say that NCIS Season 17 is still the most-watched broadcast TV show on Tuesdays.
In the 8 p.m. time slot, the series has a clear edge over its direct competition. Runner-up this week was NBC‘s singing competition The Voice, which had 8.45 million live viewers; that’s roughly three million less people!

Its other direct competitors remain very far off. ABC‘s The Conners had 5.48 million people tuned in, while FOX‘s The Resident was at 3.66, and The CW‘s The Flash had less than 800,000.
When a show has been on—and on at the same night and time—for almost two decades, you expect it to have a firm hold on its time slot. And that’s exactly what has happened with NCIS; it has a huge margin for error.
Not that it seems to be making many mistakes; it’s still one of the most popular shows on television, and that’s before one counts the numerous reruns on this and other networks!

Moving on to this week’s key demographic statistics, “No Vacancy” recorded an impressive 1.0 among viewers aged 18-49. That’s on par with what NCIS did last week.
With a half-dozen broadcast TV shows losing viewers in that age range this Tuesday, the show actually gained a spot in the demo rankings even though it didn’t increase its key audience. It’s the third most-watched show in the 18-49 category this week.
Only The Voice and New Amsterdam beat it there, and did so convincingly (each had a 1.3). But third place in the demo is still great, and with NCIS ratings being as strong as they are overall, it’s another victorious week for the Mark Harmon-led TV crime drama.
NCIS Season 17 continues next week at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
