The second season of "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" debuted to a 36 percent ratings drop from its first-season premiere Tuesday as "NCIS" earned the night's most viewers.

"Food Revolution," which brought the British chef's healthy eating campaign to Los Angeles earned ABC a 1.4 rating/4 share in the adults 18-49 demo and 5.3 million total viewers. Its premier on March 21 of last year drew a 2.2/6 in the demo, with 6.2 million viewers.

ABC recovered thanks to "Dancing With the Stars" at 9. The elimination episode -- which saw the show bid adieu to Sugar Ray Leonard -- garnered a 3.0/8 in the demo and 15.5 million total viewers, on par with last week. "Body of Proof" at 10 had a 2.5/7 in the demo and 11.1 million total viewers, a 4 percent rise in the demo from the previous week.
