Last Night's TV Ratings

TUESDAY
Channel - Title - Viewers (in million) / 18-49 demo

8/7
CBS - NCIS - 19.35 / 4.2
FOX - Glee - 8.42 / 3.6
NBC - The Biggest Loser - 5.72 / 2.1
ABC - Dancing with the Stars Encore - 9.13 / 1.7
CW - 90210 - 1.29 / 0.7

10/9
CBS - Unforgettable - 11.58 / 2.5
ABC - Body of Proof - 9.95 / 2.0
NBC - Parenthood - 5.05 / 2.0

I list in order of the 18-49 demo because that's the number that matters more to advertisers. NCIS may be a total-viewers juggernaut, but New Girl won the night with where it counts.

Poor NBC. If it weren't for Sunday Night Football and The Office, they'd be on life support. They can always point to the complete inability of CW to expand its audience. The combining of UPN and WB into CW hasn't worked out. I can see The CW disappearing in the next few years.

I'd been following Ringer but judging by its ratings trajectory, probably best get out now before my curiosity increases.
