Tuesday TV Ratings 9/29/26: Dancing with the Stars Dips to #2 Behind MLB Playoffs but Narrowly Wins in Total Viewers, Best Medicine Draws Highest Rating in Regular Time Slot, RJ Decker Also Rises [+ Analysis]
Though it was MLB on NBC (1.64) that posted the night's top rating, ABC's Dancing with the Stars (1.40, +0.05) was still a massive 18-49 winner. At ten, RJ Decker (0.25, +0.02) improved slightly. CBS aired two specials, The Amazing Race: 25 Years Around the World (0.19) and Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen 20th Anniversary Special (0.14), but neither was particularly competitive in the key demo. On Fox, Best Medicine (0.27) returned to its regular slot with a rating above every previous Tuesday-night installment, while Doc (0.17, -0.01) inched down. WWE NXT (0.11, +0.02) ticked up on the CW.
Tuesday TV Ratings 9/22/26: Doc Returns Up from Finale, Dancing with the Stars Stays Dominant, The Voice Rises [+ Analysis]
On season premiere night, Fox's Doc (0.18) appeared relatively healthy. The medical drama was up slightly from last year's time slot premiere (0.17) and rose from the Best Medicine repeat (0.16) that aired before it. On ABC, Dancing with the Stars (1.35) remained at a towering height, but RJ Decker (0.23) was a diminutive companion. The Voice (0.41) and America's Got Talent (0.33) were both solid on NBC. CBS special Judge Judy: Unfiltered, Unforgettable (0.14) was only a few ticks above the CW's WWE NXT (0.09). Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.

Fox drama Doc (0.14, -0.01) ended its second season on a low note by inching down to its previously-set series low. To put things into perspective, this rating put it closer to the CW's broadcast of WWE NXT (0.09, +0.01) than any of its other 8 p.m. competitors. NBC's The Voice (0.25, 0.00) also closed out its season on Tuesday, matching its last original in the key demo. ABC dramas Will Trent (0.28, +0.02) and RJ Decker (0.22, +0.04) were up from last week, with the latter likely benefiting from the earlier time slot. NCIS (0.29, +0.03) and NCIS: Sydney (0.16, +0.04) rose on CBS, while Origins (0.2, 0.00) was stable. Key: (R) = repeat. (F) = finale.

NCIS (0.26, -0.01) and NCIS: Origins (0.20, -0.02) dipped slightly on CBS, while NCIS: Sydney (0.12, -0.06) plummeted.
