The Tuesday TV ratings for October 27th are in; here are some of the highlights:

  • Fox easily won the night with its broadcast of the first game of the World Series, even though a power failure in their production truck caused a short blackout. The extra innings will probably mean its numbers will be adjusted, but so far, it pulled the best ratings (4.6, 15.26 million viewers) in the key 18-49 demographic since 2009.
  • Back to scripted TV, NCIS on CBS came in second at 8 p.m. with a 2.0 rating and 16.43 million viewers.
  • The Muppets on ABC ticked up at tenth at 8 p.m. to a 1.4 rating and 4.29 million viewers, while The Flash on the CW stayed steady with a 1.3 rating and 3.32 million viewers.
