[TV] Ratings: CBS Dominates Again With NCIS and Vegas Posted by Joseph Lee on 02.20.2013
Cult has a weak debut...
CBS once again won Tuesday night, even though both NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles were down from their last original episodes. They also won the demographic, along with Vegas. The CW's Cult had a soft debut and ABC's Body of Proof tied its series low in the demographic. NBC's comedies and Smash were down, as was FOX's comedy block (including New Girl).
CBS won with 15.65 million viewers and a 9.9 rating/15 share in households. It was followed by ABC (6.6 million, 4.4/7), NBC (3.7 million, 2.4/4), FOX (3.5 million, 2.1/3) and the CW (1.2 million, 0.8/1).
In the adults 18-49 demographic, CBS won again with a 2.6 rating, followed by ABC (1.8), FOX (1.7), NBC (1.1) and The CW (0.4).
