Initially in the Live + Same Day statistics, "NCIS" was the top-rated scripted show for the week, by a margin of 3-tenths of a rating point.

· "Grey's Anatomy" was also the week's biggest overall Total Viewer gainer, picking up 2.9 million viewers (11.2 million to 14.1 million) from the first-reported overnight numbers.
