Shifting back an hour earlier this week into the 8 o'clock hour prior to the Presidential Address to Congress and ranking No. 2 to NBC's "The Voice" premiere in Adults 18-49 (1.1/4-tie), ABC's "Fresh Off the Boat" (1.2/4) and "The Real O'Neals" (1.1/4) beat out Fox's "New Girl" (0.9/3) and "The Mick" (0.9/3) head to head by 33% and 22% at 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively, to stand as Tuesday's Top 2 comedies in Adults 18-49.

At 8:00 p.m., ABC's "Fresh Off the Boat" gained 18% from the prior week in Total Viewers (4.6 million vs. 3.9 million) and grew for the 2nd week in a row with Adults 18-49 (+9% - 1.2/4 vs. 1.1/4), drawing best-since-premiere viewership on the night and matching a 10-week high in young adults - since 10/11/16 and 1/3/17, respectively.
