Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rises In The Ratings

This week's episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., "A Fractured House," saw a siginificant spike in ratings over last week, likely boosted by the extended trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was up 13% from its week-ago Fast Affiliate Adult 18-49 number (1.7/5 vs. 1.5/4 - which adjusted up in the Nationals to a 1.6/4), giving the series its highest ratings since September's season premiere.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. brought in higher ratings than NBC's Marry Me and About a Boy by 21% in Adults 18-49 (1.7/5 vs. 1.4/4) and finished as the No. 1 series in its hour for the third straight week among Men 18-34.

Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
