CBS won in key demos behind its hot NCIS duo, while NBC's The Biggest Loser set season highs. ABC also saw highs with its unscripted combo of Shark Tank and Dancing With the Stars.According to preliminary nationals from Nielsen, CBS opened the night in dominating fashion thanks to NCIS (4.7 rating/13 share in adults 18-49, 20.6 million viewers overall) and then ran first or second in most categories at 9 p.m. with NCIS: Los Angeles (3.9/10 in 18-49, 16.5 million viewers overall), which had its best showing in three weeks. Closing things out was fellow rookie drama The Good Wife (2.7/7 in 18-49, 12.9 million viewers overall), which was on par with last week and placed second to baseball in demos while winning its hour in total viewers.
