NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" did well enough in its debut, but still couldn't surpass CBS' procedurals.

CBS averaged 7.79 million viewers and a 4.9 rating/ 9 share in primetime, just ahead of NBC's 7.1 million and 4.7/9. Third place went to ABC, which drew 5.8 million and a 3.9/7, followed by FOX 3.6 million, 2.1/4 and The CW with 1.4 million, 0.9/2.

CBS and NBC tied in the adult demo with a 1.7 rating apiece for the night, followed by ABC, 1.4, FOX, 1.2, and The CW, 0.2.
