The second season of CSI: Vegas averages 0.30 in the 18-49 demographic and 3.40 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including all DVR playback up to 3:00 AM). Compared to the first season, that is 26% less in the demo and 8% less viewers. Although it is CBS's lowest-rated scripted series in traditional ratings, the series is garnering 68% more viewers in Live+7 Day ratings, including delayed viewers.
The NCIS team also continues to work. CBS has renewed NCIS for a 21st year in the 2023-24 season.
NCIS is a procedural drama series starring Sean Murray, Wilmer Valderrama, Brian Dietzen, Diona Reasonover, Katrina Law and Rocky Carroll, David McCallum and Gary Cole.
Following the departure of NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (Mark Harmon), Special Agent Alden Parker (Cole), a sharp and sarcastic former FBI agent, has taken over the leadership of the NCIS team, a highly skilled and colorful group of professionals. The team consists of NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee (Murray), an MIT graduate with computer skills who is now a Senior Field Agent; NCIS Special Agent Nicholas 'Nick' Torres (Valderrama), who often goes undercover; and NCIS Special Agent Jessica Knight (Law), a formidable REACT agent who specializes in hostage negotiations and high-risk operations.
The team is assisted by NCIS historian Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard (McCallum), Ducky's protégé, the naive Jimmy Palmer (Dietzen), who has risen to become a qualified coroner, and forensic scientist Kasie Hines (Reasonover), Ducky's former assistant. NCIS Director Leon Vance (Carroll), a highly trained agent who can always shake up the status quo, oversees operations. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes related to the Navy or the Marine Corps.
The twentieth season of NCIS, which airs Monday nights, averages 0.44 in the 18-49 demographic and 6.77 million viewers. Compared to season 19, that's 23% less in the demo and 8% less viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback until 3:00 AM).

Finally, Jane and her team will also be back to work in paradise for the 2023-24 television season. CBS has also renewed NCIS: Hawaii for a third season.

Her determined team of specialists includes Lucy Tara (Al-Bustami), cyber intelligence specialist Ernie Malik (Antoon), second man Jesse Boone (Mills), Special Agent Kate Whistler (Anderson) of the Defense Intelligence Agency and Kai Holman (Tarrant), a new NCIS agent. Tennant and her team balance their duty to family and country as they investigate high-stakes crimes involving military personnel, national security, and the mysteries of the island paradise itself.
The second season of NCIS: Hawaii averages 0.36 in the 18-49 demographic and 5.04 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including all DVR playback up to 3:00 AM).
