In fact, in total viewers, CBS won the entire night with the just-canceled God Friended Me as well as crime procedurals NCIS: Los Angeles (Medalion Rahimi, Daniela Ruah and Eric Christian Olsen, above) and NCIS: New Orleans all winning their hours.

In the 18-49 demo, behind 60 Minutes was ABC’s American Idol, which came in second for the night and won its two-hour time slot as the singing competition continues.
