Primetime Ratings: ABC Dances to the Top Again

Two-Hour Dancing with the Stars Boosts Alphabet Network on Monday Night

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/2/2007 8:53:00 AM

ABC won Monday night in the 18-49 demo in the Nielsen Media Research overnight rankings with a 4.7 rating/12 share, thanks to a two-hour Dancing with the Stars, which built every half-hour, from 8 p.m. (4.6/13) to 9:30 p.m.-10 p.m. (5.6/13).

NBC's Heroes was the top-rated show of the night at a 5.6/13 from 9 p.m.-10 p.m., but it only just barely beat the last hour of Dancing. NBC's new dramedy, Chuck, from 8 p.m.-9 p.m., averaged a 3.1/8 for third place in the hour, growing by a couple of rating points from its first to second half-hour. Going the other direction was time traveler Journeyman, which traveled back from a 3.5/8 from 10 p.m.-10:30 p.m. to a 3.1/8 from 10:30 p.m.-11 p.m.

NBC and CBS tied for second at a 4/10. CBS was led by CSI: Miami, which won its 10 p.m.-11 p.m. time period with a 4.6/12, and Two and a Half Men, which averaged a 4.6/11 from 9 p.m.-9:30 p.m. up against Heroes and Dancing.

Fox was a distant fourth at a 1.7/4, with new New Orleans drama K-Ville failing to make any headway at an average 2/5.

The CW averaged a 1 rating/2 share for the premieres of Everyone Hates Chris, new show Aliens in America, Girlfriends and its highest-rated debut, a footballers' wives/girlfriends series, The Game (1.4/3).
