{alltv} TV ratings: CBS rules Tuesday, decent start for 'No Ordinary Family'

Fast National ratings for Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010

CBS had its full drama lineup in place Tuesday night with the premiere of "The Good Wife," and the network cruised to an overall ratings win for the evening. ABC's new series "No Ordinary Family," meanwhile, got off to a pretty decent start opposite "NCIS" and "Glee."

CBS scored just over 16 million viewers and a 9.9 rating/16 share in primetime and won the total-viewer crown pretty easily over ABC (12.3 million, 7.7/12). FOX came in third with 9.7 million viewers and a 5.6/9. NBC (6.4 million, 4.1/7) finished fourth, while The CW (1.7 million, 1.1/2) was even with its performance last week.

Thanks to "Glee" -- whose Britney Spears episode built on last week's premiere ratings -- FOX led the adults 18-49 demographic with a 4.2 rating. CBS took second with a 3.4, beating out ABC's 3.0 and NBC's 2.5. The CW pulled down a 0.9.
