"Dancing with the Stars" delivered another strong Monday to push ABC to a win overall, while "House" (and a two-hour primetime programming window) pushed FOX to another demo win.Meanwhile, "Chuck" dropped against increased competition, while a special 9 p.m. airing of "Big Bang Theory" suggested that the comedy isn't quite ready to lose its "Two and a Half Men" lead-in just yet.
Among adults 18-49, FOX averaged a 3.4 for the night, nipping the 3.3 rating for ABC and the 3.2 rating for CBS in the key demographic. NBC wasn't part of the logjam, finishing fourth with a 1.6 rating, beating the 0.9 rating for The CW.
Overall, ABC dominated with an estimated 15.02 million viewers and a 9.6 rating/15 share. CBS' 5.9/9 was a distant second, with FOX's 5.7/9 in a close third. NBC's 3.5/6 was fourth, still comfortably ahead of the 1.3/2 for The CW.
In the 8 p.m. hour, ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" ruled with an 11.8/19 and tied for first in the demo with a 3.8 rating. FOX's "House" was second overall with a 6.0/10 and tied for first in the demo. CBS' "How I Met Your Mother" and "Rules of Engagement" were third with a 4.7/7, beating the 3.2/5 for "Chuck," which also fell to a 1.9 demo rating.
