NCIS kicked off 2021 with two episodes, the second of which answered a question set up in the premiere (Why did Gibbs shoot McGee?), and it was the clear winner on Tuesday, with a 0.75 rating (among adults 18-49) and 8.9 million tuning in. (It did lose a few viewers between episodes but was up from its December 8 outing.)

Elsewhere on the night, Prodigal Son was steady while The Resident was down from its premiere outings last week. Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist dipped in viewers between weeks, while FBI: Most Wanted returned for the new year and was up in viewers from its last new episode (on December 8).
