FOX had a strong Tuesday night with the season finale of MasterChef which was up six tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week's Tuesday airing and also up nicely from last summer's season finale. After a slow start, this show really became a solid summer performer for FOX and will surely be back in the future. Elsewhere, ABC did not get much mileage with new shows from 9-11pm. In its third week, Take the Money & Run was down a heavy 1.2 million viewers and four tenths in the demo as it continues to fall. Combat Hospital on the other hand was up half a million viewers and a tenth in the demo but still low. Finally, NBC's It's Worth What? was down two tenths in viewers and even in the demo while America's Got Talent was down a heavy 1.1 million viewers and two tenths in the demo.
