NCIS came in second to The Mentalist in total viewers for the night but still put up great numbers which made "Caged" The second most watched episode of NCIS ever behind "Silent Night" So now the top 4 episodes of NCIS have come from this season....NCIS would have done better but their first half hour only had 18.3 Million whereas the second half hour had 19.8 Million. So if not for that first half hour NCIS probably would of taken the night...

CBS’s viewership dominance on Tuesday was complete, its line up of NCIS, The Mentalist and Without a Trace topping every half hour for average viewers. But CBS dominated the aged, as NBC’s season premiere of The Biggest Loser and a new episode of Law & Order: SVU went large with the youth, winning every half hour for both the 18-49 and 18-34 youth demos.

ABC’s premiere of Homeland Security wasn’t as bad as waiting in an airport security queue, but they likely hoped for better. The season premiere of Scrubs on its new network home was down from it’s fall 2007 season premiere levels on NBC, but so is everything else this season.

Fox went with reruns and was an afterthought. The CW’s 90210 and Priviledged were down from their fall levels.
