its strong season Tuesday, drawing
its largest audience in more than
three years opposite coverage of the
State of the Union address on the

Nielsen preliminaries for coverage of
President Obama's speech are
unreliable as they do not account for
time-zone differences, but early

down. A cume audience figure from
Nielsen, including cable networks,
will be provided later Wednesday by
Nielsen.

rating/3 share in adults 18-49 and
2.8 million viewers overall " the
show's largest overall audience since
October 2010. Teens 12-17 seem to
be driving some of the show's recent
gains, with Tuesday's episode
earning a 1.6 rating/6 share in the
demo for its best delivery in about
five years.
"Supernatural" matched season highs
in adults 18-49 as well as adults
18-34 (1.1/3) and women 18-34
(1.4/4), and its rating in women
18-49 (1.4/3) is its highest since
May 2010.
Kicking off the night, "The
Originals" (1.0/3 in 18-49, 2.2
million viewers overall) was in line,

18-49, 6.6 million viewers overall)
earning the top score in 18-49, and
CBS' repeat of "NCIS" (1.5/4 in
18-49, 11.4 million viewers overall)

Agents of SHIELD" (1.1/3 in 18-49,
