Ten’s US crime show NCIS returned to its spot as the most-watched show for Tuesday night, with its main competition, My Kitchen Rules wrapping up its first series on Monday.

NCIS attracted 1.5 million viewers, according to preliminary overnight OzTam data in the main metro markets.

It rated ahead of Seven’s Border Security which slotted into the 7:30pm time slot previously occupied by My Kitchen Rules.

Nine’s Top Gear was the fourth most-watched show for the night, but was number one among 16-39s and 18-49s – ahead of NCIS.

NCIS LA is another badly put together spin-off. It doesnt even have the same feel. In the original NCIS there is a medical lab and a science lab, at least pretending that what they do is police work. NCIS LA? nothing. just shooting and “undercover” work.

LA is LL Cool J and that short lady, whose only previous acting job that I can remeber was to play a whip weilding school principal in a school ful of spies. I just cant take it seriously.. and neither can the rest of the veiwing audience it seems.
