Ratings: Dancing with the Stars Results down 30% from last year

Update: NCIS adjusted up to 3.5 and 18.670 million viewers. DWTS up to 3.1 and 15.740 million viewers

Dancing with the Stars had a 3.0 adult rating for it's first results show of the season last night. This was 30% down from a comparable show last year.

NCIS was the #1 show with a 3.4 rating and 18.237 million viewers.

New Girl has a 2.5 rating and 4.8 million viewers (and of course is still considered a "hit", LOL).

So the number American Idol needs to beat tonight in order to be the most viewed show is 18.237 million viewers. Can it do it?
