Tuesday night's ratings. NBC comes in first and third with America's Got Talent having 2.3/8 and 1.8/7 in the 8 o'clock hour. Coming in second was NBC’s Law and Order: SVU having 2.2/7. Coming in forth and fifth was ABC’s Shaq's Big Challenge and Primetime: Family Secrets (premiere) having 1.9/6 and 1.8/6. Although you could say that once again that FOX with House having 2.0/7 came in forth, but it was repeat. Man! That is a great show and I record any airing. Very good acting from top to bottom. With the instant gratification generation ruling the day, it is a miracle that anything with real suspense, not just a load audio effect and fast camera movement, but true suspense can hold it's own with this crew. Hitchcock would be proud, although I'm sure he'd make fun of all the "words from our sponsor" airings, but someone has to pay the bills.
A bunch of numbers and words, just after the jump. . .

How do I read these ratings?
A Nielsen rating may look like this:
8pm - NBC - TVgasm The TV Show - 10.0/18
Focus on the 10.0/18. The RATING, 10.0, on the left represents the actual number of households that watched a show. One rating point equals 1,102,000 households. The SHARE, 18, on the right represents the show's proportion of the total households watching television at that time.
For example, TVgasms TV Show has a 10 rating/18 share. That means 11,020,000 households are tuned in to the show and 18% of all the households with a TV turned on are watching that show.
Ratings and Share are customarily broken down for various DEMOs -- a demographic grouping of viewers, like 18-49 adults or 2-12 children or 18-34 women, etc. Advertisers, and therefore networks, covet the 18-49 adult demo, and so tend to concentrate on that number.
