In-between those two, NCIS: New York (0.43) made a dazzling first impression. Over on ABC, Dancing with the Stars (1.41, +0.01) ticked up, but RJ Decker (0.20, -0.05) faltered. The Voice (0.29) had a particularly soft showing on NBC, and the CW's WWE NXT (0.10, -0.01) dipped slightly. On Fox, Best Medicine (0.25, -0.02) declined, while Doc (0.18, +0.01) rose a bit. Key: (P) = premiere. (R) = repeat.
