Primetime Ratings, Tuesday, 3/12/13

Last night, FOX won the 18-49 demos, but CBS still drew more total viewers. This is impressive when you consider that the Eye's line-up was almost all repeats.

The two-hour season premiere of Hell's Kitchen came in two tenths below last year's debut, but still easily won 8pm in the demos. CBS' lone new offering, Golden Boy, matched last Tuesday's 1.6. ABC's Celebrity Wife Swap only managed to rise one tenth from last week's series low. The Taste followed that up by setting yet another new series low of its own. Body of Proof also dropped. Betty White's Off Their Rockers fell one tenth. Smash rose one tenth from last week's series low. Despite all the repeats, nothing really improved much, which isn't a great sign for broadcast viewership in general.
