UPDATE: In updated national estimates from Nielsen released Tuesday afternoon, NBC’s “The Voice” was revised up a tick (4.1/12 in 18-49) and grew to 13.97 million total viewers. The last time it fared better, on any night, was early last March.

Also going up a tenth was Fox’s “Gotham” (2.3/7 in 18-49, 6.53 million viewers overall) — the show’s best demo score since Jan. 5.

ABC’s “Castle” was revised down a tenth (1.6/5 in 18-49, 7.61 million viewers overall), tying in the demo with CBS’ “NCIS: Los Angeles” and edging out NBC’s “The Night Shift” (1.5/4).

NBC’s “The Voice” looked good in kicking off its latest cycle Monday, dominating its timeslot and virtually matching the show’s best performance on any night for its most recent fall edition. “The Night Shift” capped the night for NBC with decent numbers, finishing behind its established drama rivals but making the net more competitive in the hour than it had been with “State of Affairs.”

NBC won the night across the board, according to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, with “The Voice” averaging a 4.0 rating/11 share in adults 18-49 and 13.6 million viewers overall from 8 to 10 p.m., peaking with a 4.4 in the demo and about 14.3 million total viewers in the 9:30 p.m. half-hour.

This edition opened lower than last spring’s Olympics-fueled launch (4.7/13 in 18-49, 15.86 million viewers overall) and is the lowest-rated premiere to date for the show, but last night’s rating was about on par with last fall’s premiere in 18-49 (4.1) while out-drawing every Monday episode of the show since last March in total viewers.

Last night’s two-hour blind auditions episode of “The Voice” easily was Monday’s top program of the night in 18-49, besting runner-up “The Bachelor” on ABC (head to head from 8 to 10 p.m.) by 54% (4.0 vs. 2.6). It was more competitive between them in adults 18-34, with “The Voice” winning by 17% (2.7 vs. 2.3).

At 10 p.m. for NBC, medical drama “The Night Shift” (1.5/4 in 18-49, 5.5 million viewers overall) was certainly an improvement over the 1.0 demo rating that “State of Affairs” averaged in the timeslot during January and February behind “The Apprentice,” but it’s below the 1.7 average for the five episodes of “State of Affairs” to air following “The Voice” late last fall. And considering NBC was at a 4.4 rating at 9:30 p.m., it can’t be too happy with tumbling to a 1.3 by 10:30.

“Night Shift” premiered with a 1.6 rating when it launched behind “America’s Got Talent” last summer. Among all new series last summer, it tied with FX’s “The Strain” as the top-rated newcomer in 18-49.

“Night Shift” was close behind the 18-49 scores of timeslot competitors “Castle” on ABC (1.7/5 in 18-49, 7.7 million viewers overall) and “NCIS: Los Angeles” on CBS (1.6/5 in 18-49, 9.6 million viewers overall), with the vets seemingly unaffected by the arrival of their new timeslot foe. If it holds in the nationals, this would be the top 18-49 score for “Castle” since late November (with “Dancing With the Stars” as its lead-in).

ABC’s “The Bachelor” (2.6/7 in 18-49, 8.9 million viewers overall) stood up well to its strong reality competitor from 8 to 10 p.m., matching last week’s deliveru. And Fox’s “Gotham” (2.2/7 in 18-49, 6.5 million viewers overall) was up for a second straight week as it seems to have recovered from its early-2015 funk.

In most categories, “Gotham” was its highest level since Jan. 19. It was Monday’s No. 1 drama in 18-49, the No. 1 program in males 12-34 (1.9/8) and the No. 1 scripted program in other men demos.

In the 9 o’clock hour, the season finale of “Sleepy Hollow” was steady for Fox (1.4/4 in 18-49, 4.4 million viewers overall), though after a softer second season, the show’s fate going forward is certainly up in the air. “The Following” replaces “Sleepy” in the 9 o’clock hour starting next week.

CBS seemed to be slightly more impacted by the “Voice” return, with “2 Broke Girls” (2.1/7 in 18-49, 8.5 million viewers overall), “Mike & Molly” (2.0/6 in 18-49, 8.8 million viewers overall) and “Scorpion” (2.1/6 in 18-49, 10.5 million viewers overall) all down a bit from their recent averages. “Scorpion” was Monday’s most-watched scripted program overall.

CW aired something called the “World Dog Awards” (0.3/1 in 18-49, 1.3 million viewers overall).

Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: NBC, 3.1/9; ABC, 2.3/7; CBS, 1.9/5; Fox, 1.8/5; Univision, 1.2/4; Telemundo, 0.6/2; CW, 0.3/1.

In total viewers: NBC, 10.9 million; CBS, 9.6 million; ABC, 8.5 million; Fox, 5.4 million; Univision, 3.2 million; Telemundo, 1.5 million; CW, 1.3 million.
