Tuesday Ratings: FOX was Hot, NCIS was Hotter

It took a two-hour Hell’s Kitchen finale to finally put a dent into CBS’ strong Tuesday night lineup. The FOX series helped the network win in the demos last night, even though NCIS broke the 20 million mark (again) in viewers yesterday. The reality show also managed to improve 19% from its recent May finale.

8pm

• NCIS (20.4 million, 4.5/12 in 18-49) had the best numbers all around.
• The Biggest Loser (3.4/9) weighed in at 9 million viewers.
• Approximately 8 million watched Dave Levey win the sixth season of Hell’s Kitchen (3.8/10).
• Shark Tank (1.6/4) ate 5.4 million up.
• 90210 (1.1/3) turned in 2.4 million.
