* Cable’s “Sons of Anarchy” beat “The Jay Leno Show” for the first time in 18-49, pushing NBC’s 10 p.m. hour into fifth place behind Fox’s playoffs, “The Good Wife,” the FX biker drama and ABC’s aptly-titled “Forgotten.”

* This is the second time “Forgotten” has been beaten by “Anarchy” in 18-49 this season.

* With baseball replacing reality on Fox Tuesday, NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” hit its best numbers of the season. Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance” returns to Tuesdays next next week.

* “Melrose Place,” The CW’s lowest-rated show now that “The Beautiful Life” is gone, just got an order for five more episodes Tuesday, even though original recipe “Melrose” star Daphne Zuniga’s appearance failed to reverse its decline in 18-49.

* “Melrose Place” continues to pull a lower 18-49 number than Tuesday cable fare like “Anarchy” and MTV’s “The Hills” and “The City.”

* With “Hell’s Kitchen” and “So You Think You Can Dance” off Tuesday, “Dancing With The Stars” got a huge boost that allowed it to beat Fox’s playoff game by a wide margin in total viewers.

* Bottom-feeding “Shark Tank’s” season finale garnered the show’s best Tuesday number, bringing it into an 18-49 tie with “Leno.”
