V Debuts With Best Numbers For Any New Show This Year

Aliens reinvaded America's living rooms again Tuesday night -- en masse. According to overnight Nielsen ratings, ABC's V attracted 13.9 million viewers, providing some unexpected competition for the usual winner of the 8 00 p.m. time period, CBS's NCIS. It was the best premiere for a new scripted series this year, beating The Cleveland Show and NCIS Los Angeles . The alien-invasion series is based on two miniseries that aired on NBC in 1983 and 1984. NCIS , meanwhile, may have lost 11 percent of its viewers from its last original episode two weeks ago, but it still performed strongly, averaging 19.4 million viewers, well ahead of V .
