Shooting People Beats Losing Weight, Ratings Confirm
Last night's CBS premiere block of NCIS and two new series NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife racked up the night's highest ratings per timeslot, besting ABC's two-hour episode of Dancing With the Stars and NBC's two-hour edition of The Biggest Loser. The figures, as well as the scarily low-rated CW entry, after the jump.

Wait, but I thought scripted TV ALWAYS loses against reality TV?! Eegads. A glimmer of hope. Imagine what well-scripted TV could do.
