* The “Hell’s Kitchen” finale won Tuesday night for Fox, which this morning picked up an eighth edition of the reality show and ordered a Dec. 15 “Cook Along” special starring Gordon Ramsay. Baseball takes over next week.

* “NCIS” moved up for the first time this fall, but “NCIS Los Angeles” didn’t follow, scoring its lowest 18-49 number to date. “The Good Wife” hit a new low as well, though it still beat weak timeslot competition “Forgotten” and “Leno.” “Wife” and “NCISLA” just got “back-nine” orders that will take both series to the end of the season.

* The CW’s “Melrose Place” hit a new series low. Original recipe stars Daphne Zuniga, 46, and Heather Locklear, 48, will guest in coming weeks, hoping to bring the numbers that Laura Leighton and Thomas Calabro could not.

* Tuesday has been the strongest night for “The Jay Leno Show,” but it just hit a Tuesday-edition low. NBC is hopeful Leno’s prospects will improve in December, when its timeslot competitors go into repeats, but NBC affiliates are growing plenty angry with the big decreases they’re seeing in their post-Leno local newscasts and the NBC late-night line-up.
