CBS, Fox win rerun-filled Monday night
NEW YORK -- A mostly repeat schedule lifted CBS to a win in total viewers Monday night while it shared a primetime victory in adults 18-49, according to data released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research. Fox and CBS tied for the win in the adults 18-49 demographic, each with a 2.8/8. CBS had no competition in total viewers, with 9.3 million compared to ABC's second-place rating of 6.4 million. The night's top show was a repeat of CBS's Two and a Half Men, which averaged 10.9 million viewers and a 3.3/9 in the demographic. Network originals varied widely, with Fox's Hell's Kitchen (6.8 million, 3.2/9) cooking up respectable ratings in the 9 p.m. hour. Hell's Kitchen was edged in the demo by Two and a Half Men. ABC's The Scholar (3.6 million, 1.3/4) failed to generate much interest at 8 p.m., with a repeat of Fox's Nanny 911 (2.3/8) tops in the demo and an hour of CBS's Still Standing (7.2 million, 2.2/7) winning total viewers. The WB's Summerland averaged 2.4 million viewers and a 0.9/3 in the demo.

Meanwhile, it was a rough week all around for launching new series, with Fox's The Inside, ABC's The Scholar and CBS' The Cut opening to weak numbers and only CBS' Fire Me ... Please showing some traction with young viewers. ABC's Dancing With the Stars (15.1 million viewers, 4.8 rating/14 share) was the No. 1 program for the week in total viewers and adults 18-49, according to Nielsen Media Research.
