TV Ratings: Tuesday (May 13, 2008)

American Idol managed to bounce back after last week's season-low, albeit it failed to break the 24 million mark.

"Dancing with the Stars" was the second most watched telecast of the night, although CBS' underrated "NCIS" wasn't far behind.

The series finale of the just-axed "Women's Murder Club" lost half the "Dancing" audience, although both shows skew older demos.

ABC:
8:00pm According to Jim (4.28 million)
8:30pm According to Jim (4.55 million)
9:00pm Dancing With the Stars (16.62 million)
10:02pm Women's Murder Club [season 1 finale] (8.46 million)

CBS:
8:00pm NCIS (14.7 million)
9:00pm Shark (10.2 million)
10:00pm Criminal Minds (R) (8.28 million)
