NCIS: Los Angeles ratings for Nov. 10: Season 11 picks up viewers
NCIS: Los Angeles ratings rose on Nov. 10, as Season 11 brought back a previous character. See the latest NCIS: Los Angeles numbers.
NCIS: Los Angeles ratings picked up on Nov. 10, wiping out the previous week’s losses and then some for the long-running CBS crime drama.
Sunday’s episode “Concours d’Elegance” featured a story about professional gaming, and it also featured the second appearance of recurring character Katherine Casillas (Moon Bloodgood).
That hooked more live viewers, as the hour recorded an audience of 6.04 million. That’s sizeably up from the previous 5.55 million (+0.49, or 490,000 extra people; almost half a million!).
It’s also the show’s most-watched episode in three weeks.

That’s good news, but when you put it into the context of everything else happening on broadcast TV Sunday night, that does temper the results a bit.
Despite the gain in extra viewers, because other shows also were up this week, NCIS: Los Angeles didn’t move up in the overall stats. It stayed ranked eighth out of 19 broadcast TV programs.
That’s keeping it within the Top 10, but at the same time also kind of disappointing that it could pick up so many more eyeballs yet not make a dent in its competition.
Within the 9 p.m. time slot, removing NBC‘s Sunday Night Football from the equation, “Concours d’Elegance” was the clear winner. No other series even reached the 4 million mark, meaning that the show had a more than 2 million viewer advantage (the second week in a row it’s been fairly clear).
Within the key demographic of adults 18-49, this week’s NCIS: Los Angeles scored 0.6 which was the same number it posted last Sunday—so it didn’t gain any viewers in that age range back.
The show is now tied for 14th out of 19 shows with its lead-in God Friended Me and its direct rival The Rookie on ABC. The latter is, of course, more concerning since the two shows are vying with each other for viewers.
But since NCIS has a much larger total audience, it’s got a safer standing when it comes to its chances of renewal for Season 12. It would be nice to see it pick up more demo viewers, but that likely won’t be as big a factor as continuing to beat its competition overall.
