On Tuesday night, CBS's trios of dramas were all new. NCIS was down four tenths in viewers but up a tenth in the demo from last week's season low. NCIS: Los Angeles was down 1.4 million viewers but up two tenths in the demo as Dancing with the Stars may have taken away some older viewers. At 10pm, Unforgettable was down eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On NBC, The Biggest Loser was down 1.1 million viewers and three tenths in the demo as it took a hit from Dancing. At 10pm, Fashion Star was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo showing that last week's gain was likely a mirage.

Over on ABC, the first results episode of the new edition of Dancing with the Stars was up from the first results episode of the fall but down from last spring. Overall, not a bad performance since the first night was down more. It helps that it doesn't contend with The Voice on Tuesdays yet. It did help Body of Proof, which was up 2.2 million viewers and six tenths in the demo. This was its best numbers since November 15 (the last time it followed Dancing). This probably isn't enough to reverse its likely fate. On FOX, Raising Hope was even in viewers but down a tenth in the demo to a series low. Leading off a night will not work for this show though a repeat that followed outperformed the yanked I Hate My Teenage Daughter. At 9pm, New Girl was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for another series low. This show needs Glee back as its not ready to anchor yet. Breaking In followed down a tenth in viewers but up a tenth in the demo.
