CLEAN TUESDAY SWEEP FOR CBS
It was another clean Tuesday sweep for CBS care of NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles and Vegas. NCIS topped the night with 20.93 million viewers and a 3.5 rating/10 share among adults 18-49 at 8 p.m. ET, according to the fast affiliate results from Nielsen, and spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles was perfectly compatible. But freshman Vegas on CBS slipped by 6.67 million viewers and 44 percent in the demo from NCIS: Los Angeles. None of the scripted dramas in the 10 p.m. hour – Smash on NBC and the season-premiere of Body of Proof on ABC included – resonated among adults 18-49. And 3.29 million viewers and a 0.9/ 2 in the demo will not warrant Smash a third season.
In series-premiere news, drama Cult on The CW was DOA at 941,000 viewers and a 0.3/ 1 among adults 18-49 at 9 p.m. There is no way to spin this…this dark hour of total confusion is a goner.
Elsewhere, 9-10 p.m. NBC sitcoms Go On and The New Normal are not benefitting minus the lead-in support from The Voice. Fox’s two-hour sitcom block continues to lag. And even beloved Betty White did not get much mileage courtesy of Off Their Rockers on NBC.
