-Ratings Breakdown:
CBS’ overnight Tuesday winning streak continued thanks to its winning combination of NCIS (#1: 11.9 rating/18 share), spin-off NCIS: Los Angeles (#2: 10.2/15) and older-skewing The Good Wife (#1: 8.3/13). Comparably, the Eye net bested second-place ABC by a hefty 40 percent in the overnights. But Fox, the home of Glee, could reign supreme among adults 18-49. Expect a demographic horse race between CBS and Fox.

In week three news, ABC’s No Ordinary Family remained third at 8 p.m., but it dipped to a 5.3/ 8 in the overnights. Regardless, this was an improvement of 43 percent from year-ago occupant Shark Tank (3.7/ 6 on Oct. 13, 2009). Take a look at the three-week overnight track for No Ordinary Family:

No Ordinary Family (ABC)
9/28/10: 7.4/11
10/05/10: 5.9/ 9
10/12/10: 5.3/ 8

Next on ABC was the live Dancing with the Stars Results Show, which won the 9 p.m. hour with an 11.2/17 at 9 p.m. So long, The Situation. But lead-out crime solver Detroit 1-8-7 dipped to a series-low 5.3/ 9 at 10 p.m., which put retention out of the 9:30 p.m. portion of Dancing with the Stars (11.5/17) at just 46 percent. One year earlier, former failed occupant The Forgotten averaged a 4.8/ 8 on Oct. 13, 2009. Here is the four-week overnight track:

Detroit 1-8-7 (ABC) – Tues. 10 p.m.
9/21/10: 7.1/12
9/28/10: 6.1/10
10/05/10: 5.7/10
10/12/10: 5.3/ 9

Fox’s Tuesday line-up started out strong and ended on a whimper, as usual, with its combination of red-hot Glee (#2: 8.0/12) and series-low performances for sitcoms Raising Hope (#4: 3.8/ 6) and Running Wilde (#4: 2.4/ 4). Although Fox did grant Raising Hope a full season order, retention out of the 8:30 p.m. portion of Glee (8.1/12) was just 47 percent. Running Wilde, meanwhile, is just waiting for the axe to officially swing. Here are the four-week tracks:

Raising Hope (Fox) – Tues. 9 p.m.
9/21/10: 4.9/ 7
9/28/10: 4.8/ 7
10/05/10: 4.1/ 6
10/12/10: 3.8/ 6

Running Wilde (Fox) – Tues. 9:30 p.m.
9/21/10: 3.9/ 6
9/28/10: 3.3/ 5
10/05/10: 2.6/ 4
10/12/10: 2.4/ 4

Over at NBC, inspirational The Biggest Loser remains on the downside this season, with a 4.6/ 7 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m. off by 10 percent from the 5.1/ 8 on Oct. 13, 2009. Here is the half-hour breakdown:

The Biggest Loser (NBC):
8:00 p.m.: 4.5/ 7 (#4)
8:30 p.m.: 4.6/ 7 (#4)
9:00 p.m.: 4.8/ 7 (#3)
9:30 p.m.: 4.8/ 7 (#3)

Capping off the evening for NBC was fading Parenthood at a distant third-place 3.4/ 6 at 10 p.m. One year earlier, failed The Jay Leno Show was stronger at a 4.0/ 7.

The CW populated the evening with its low-rated combination of serialized dramas One Tree Hill (#5: 1.5/ 2) and Life Unexpected (#5: 1.2/ 2).
