Cote de Pablo Scores Big on "NCIS"

I used to ask myself all of the time: Who on earth watches NCIS? But given the show’s enormous ratings lately, a better question might be: Who doesn’t?

The CBS crime drama—starring Chilean beauty Cote de Pablo as multilingual weapons expert Ziva David—is now officially the top-rated drama on television, thanks to two back-to-back weeks of total TV domination.

The show’s Season 7 premiere, “Truth or Consequences,” scored a whopping 20.6 million viewers, giving CBS a huge win for the night. No other network came close, and at that point was the series's biggest audience ever. The popular episode also set a series high for adult viewers between the ages 18-49—up 33 percent from last year’s season opener.

The show continued its hot streak this week, breaking another series record with an incredible 20.7 million viewers. If these ratings don’t seem like they’re of a juggernaut nature to you, consider this: By comparison, the CW’s 90210 (which airs on Tuesday night’s at 8 p.m., opposite NCIS) was watched by 2.5 million viewers overall. Cote is crushing them—and I couldn’t be happier about it!
