The networks' Fifth of July hangover ended Tuesday night, with all of the broadcasters save the CW showing a slight increase over last Tuesday's numbers, after viewing was down across-the-board on Monday night as people came back from the long weekend. Fox and won the night in adults 18-49 with a 3.1/10 rating and share for two hours of "Hell's Kitchen." NBC was in second in the demo with 2.7/8, but way ahead in total viewers, with 9.1 million to Fox's 6.8. ABC started the night well, as usual, with "Wipeout," then began to fall with "Downfall" and "Primetime: Family Secret"...

"Listening" is the key to good acting, according to Helen Stenborg. Co-starring Off-Broadway at the DR2 Theatre in Morris Panych's "Vigil" gives her the chance to exercise that talent.
