CBS, dominant in viewers (15.5 million) and the key demo (2.5 rating among adults 18-49) on Tuesday night, saw an even NCIS (3.0 adults) lead scripted fare across the broadcast nets. NCIS:LA (2.5 adults) improved by a tenth of a point from last week, while Person of Interest (2.0 adults) held last week's score.
