NBC and CBS held off episode two of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the return of Prison Break as both networks were a competitive first and second among households and viewers.

Fox though managed a second place finish among adults 18-49 (NBC was first).

In its time series debut, The Sarah Connor Chronicles declined by 45% among viewers and 44% among adults 18-49 from the night prior.  That’s certainly a negative, but its overall performance (over 10 million viewers and 3rd place for the night among adults 18-49)  was still solid.

NBC won the night thanks to the continued strong performance of American Gladiators and the nights most-watched program in all three categories (Deal or No Deal).

ABC saw its new series Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann perform well in its second week out, with minimal loss from the week prior, but the network was hurt by poor performances from Notes from the Underbelly and October Road.
