TV ratings: 'Voice' bounces; 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' and 'Dads' rise

NBC's singing competition "The Voice" is whittling down the contestants and making up some ground in the ratings. Tuesday night's live elimination episode drew 11.9 million viewers and a rating of 3.3 in the key 18-49 age group, up 10% from last week, according to early numbers from Nielsen. 

"Biggest Loser" maintained the previous week's 2.0 rating in the young adults demo, while "Chicago Fire" increased 10%, to a 2.3 as the network won the night among 18-49-year-olds, the audience most coveted by advertisers.

However, CBS' roster of repeats ("NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "Person of Interest") had the edge in total viewers, with an average of 10.1 million, compared with NBC's 8.95 million. 

Following a repeat of "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," ABC's half-hour new first-season comedy "The Goldbergs" drew 4.5 million viewers and a 1.4 in 18-49, down 13% from last week to a series low, while "Trophy Wife" fell 8% to a 1.1. 

On Fox, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" increased by 7% to a 1.6, making it the top comedy of the night. "Dads" grew 17% to a 1.4 and "Mindy Project" fell 14% to a 1.2.  

"The Originals" and "Supernatural" had a solid night, combining to pull in an average of 2.45 million for the network and giving the CW its biggest total Tuesday audience in five years.
