Ratings: 'America's Got Talent' wins Tuesday

Categories: News, TV Ratings

Although it’s still waiting for its Susan Boyle media sensation, NBC’s America’s Got Talent was a hit in the ratings Tuesday night, topping repeats of CBS powerhouses NCIS and The Mentalist to be the evening’s most-watched show. With the help of a 48 Hours special on Michael Jackson in the 10 p.m. hour, CBS was, however, the most-watched network, according to overnight numbers. Critics continue to rave about ABC’s Better Off Ted, but its audience of 1.8 million viewers was the low point of ABC’s standard third-place night.
