It was another night of sluggish across-the-boards ratings numbers on Tuesday, as "NCIS" led CBS to an easy overall win, but "New Girl" and "The Voice" pushed FOX and NBC to split the night among young viewers.
Among adult 18-49, FOX and NBC both averaged a 2.3 rating, just in front of CBS' 2.2 rating in the key demographic. ABC was a close fourth with a 1.9 rating. The CW posted a 0.4 key demo rating for Tuesday.
Overall, though, CBS won Tuesday primetime comfortably with 12.41 million viewers and a 7.9 rating/13 share. ABC was a distant second with a 5.8/9 and 8.7 million viewers. NBC's 4.2/7 and 6.68 million viewers was third, with FOX's 5.4 million viewers and 3.3/5 taking fourth. The CW averaged a 0.7/1 and 959,000 viewers.
[Univision averaged 3.7 million viewers and a 1.4 rating among adults 18-49 for Tuesday night.]

ABC was fourth with "Last Man Standing" (6.43 million viewers and a 1.6 key demo) and "Cougar Town" (4.62 million viewers and a 1.4 key demo rating). The CW's repeat of "90210" averaged 762,000 viewers and a 0.3 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - ABC moved into first overall for the 9 p.m. hour with 13.8 million viewers for "Dancing with the Stars," which finished second with a 2.4 rating among adults 18-49.
