In season premiere news was “Masterchef” on Fox (Viewers: #4, 1.68 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.), which led into “So You Think You Can Dance” at an abysmal 1.24 million viewers (#4) and a 0.2/ 2 (#4) in the demo at 9 p.m.

In the specials department on ABC was “The Great American Tag Sale With Martha Stewart” (Viewers: #3, 2.82 million; A18-49: #3t, 0.3/ 3 at 8 p.m.) and “The Great American Dog Show” (Viewers: #3, 2.10 million; A18-49: #4, 0.2/ 2 from 9-11 p.m.).
