Primetime Ratings: CBS, ABC Fit to Be Tied

Monday Night’s Top-Rated Show: Dancing with the Stars

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/27/2007 5:09:00 AM MT

CBS and ABC topped the Nielsen Media Research ratings Monday night in the key 18-49 demo at a 4 rating/10 share.

Two and a Half Men

CBS got strong outings from Two and a Half Men (5/11) at 9 p.m. and franchise player CSI: Miami from 10 p.m.-11 p.m. (4.6/12).

ABC scored with the final dance-off between the three remaining couples on Dancing with the Stars, which averaged a 6.2/15 from 8 p.m.-9 p.m., the night's top-rated show. Samantha Who -- which ABC moved from 9:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. up against Two and a Half Men -- was down sharply to a 4.1/9 from the 4.8/11 it averaged the week before.

NBC was said to be looking for improvement from new drama Journeyman at 10 p.m. before deciding whether to renew the show. Whether it was enough improvement or not remains to be seen, but the drama was up two-tenths of a rating point from the week before to a 2.5/6, good enough for second place behind CSI and ahead of the time-period premiere of ABC sophomore drama October Road (2.3/6).

Heroes was up three-tenths of a rating point from the week before to a 5.3.

Fox was fourth with a 2.5/6 for a modified Tuesday-on-Monday scheduling gambit up against Dancing. Fox aired repeats of Tuesday-night shows House and Bones, with the order reversed and Bones airing at 8 p.m.

The CW averaged a 1 rating/2 share, led by The Game with a 1.4/3 from 9:30 p.m.-10 p.m.
