CBS put forth very little effort last night, but still came away with two wins. Although it faced specials, originals, premieres and finales, the Eye network was on top with only repeats.

8pm

• NCIS* (12.2 million, 2.2/7 in 18-49) easily won the hour.
• NBC’s TV’s 50 Funniest Phrases (2.1/6) amused 6.6 million.
• House* (1.7/5) pulled in 4.2 million.
• According to Jim (1.1/3) returned to 3.7 million.
• Reaper‘s finale (2.2 million, 0.9/3) improved 400,000 over last week.

• 24 (FOX, 8pm):  Two-hour finale. “Jack reaches an emotional breaking point.” I would advise everyone to stay out of head-butting range from Bauer.

• Table for 12 (TLC, 9pm):  “The Hayes family embarks on a 420-mile road trip to Canada.” The free health care will make up for the cost in gas.
• Gotti’s Way 2 (VH1, 10:30pm):  “While in therapy, Debbie realizes a need for boundaries on her relationship with Irv.” The audience at home will still be allowed full access though.
