"NCIS: Los Angeles" Season 8 episode 8 titled "Parallel Resistors" enjoyed high ratings on Nov. 13, Sunday, on NBC. The episode is the lead-out of "60 Minutes" featuring United States President-elect Donald Trump.
More than 12 million viewers watched "Parallel Resistors," Deadline has learned. For the first time in a long time, "NCIS: Los Angeles" defeated "The Walking Dead."
The last time "NCIS: Los Angeles" had better ratings than "The Walking Dead" was on March 9, 2014. The latter is also currently in its eighth season.
Eric Laneuville directed "Parallel Resistors," in which the team uncovered a link to international warfare when a graduate student developing an electromagnetic weapon for the Navy was attacked. The team will discuss their plans for Thanksgiving in episode 9 titled "Glasnost" as G. Callen (Chris O'Donnell) will have to interrogate his father when he is found in an NCIS patient's hospital during a radiation poisoning case.
Directed by David Boyd, "The Walking Dead" Season 7 episode 4 titled "Service" was watched by more than 11 million viewers. Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group mourned back at Alexandria the tragic events that had recently occurred but they soon received a visit from Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
In "The Walking Dead" Season 7 episode 5 titled "Go Getters," Simon (Steven Ogg) and the Saviors will arrive to get their tribute. Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) and Sasha Williams (Soneque Martin-Green) will recover from their grief at the Hilltop while Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) and Enid (Katelyn Nacon) will journey to the community.
In other news, Catholic bishops recently challenged Trump on immigration. Archbishop José H. Gomez, who is a naturalized U.S. citizen and an immigrant from Mexico, convened an interfaith prayer service at the Roman Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles two nights after the former host of "The Celebrity Apprentice" beat Hillary Clinton in the U.S. presidential election.
"This should not be happening in America," New York Times quoted Gomez as saying. "We are not this kind of people. We are better than this."
