"America's Got Talent" gave NBC another victory in total viewers Wednesday, but the Peacock missed out on a demographic victory. Those honors went to FOX and "So You Think You Can Dance," which improved significantly after a down week last week.

NBC delivered 7.9 million viewers and a 4.6 rating/8 share in households in primetime. FOX (6.3 million, 3.7/6) came in second, beating out CBS (5.8 million, 3.8/7). ABC took fourth with 4.2 million viewers and a 2.8/5. The CW trailed with just under 1 million viewers and a 0.6/1.

FOX scored a 2.4 in the adults 18-49 demo to lead the night, edging out NBC's 2.3. CBS finished a fairly distant third at 1.2, followed by ABC, 1.1, and The CW, 0.4.

Great night for ABC sitcomes and Primetime in Nightline, this shows ABC is teh place to be for hard hitting news stories and funny shows.

FOX's silly dance showdid good this week, with fat Christinas Voice being gone. NBC had another silly talent show on and was CBS even on, with those boring crime repeats!

Wow...ABC was a not so solid 4th place...lol

M E O W= took the wrong pills...AGAIN!!

haha lol purr sad thin. noww back to yoda.

ABC still sucks no matter how much pub M e o W gives it; that or she doesn't know how to read, which is probably rhe case here.

speaking of sucks, SYTYCD is slowly going from bad to wose. They need to get rid of those judges. They have as much charm as rancid buttermilk. It it me or is this season worse in rating than last year
