The return of House (in a new time slot) helped put Fox in first place for the evening among adults 18-49, but a steep decline among total audience from its last newly aired episode (-8.65M viewers/37% and 37% among A18-49) kept the network in second place among households and viewers. To be fair though, that last new episode of House aired out of a fresh installment of American Idol. Even still, compared to the show’s season average up to last night, the series was of by 4.90 million/25% among viewers, 23% among households and 29% among A18-49.
House’s weaker than average performance allowed for Dancing With the Stars (the night’s most-watched program) to lead ABC to a first place finish on the evening among both households and viewers.
CBS meanwhile got good mileage from its slate of comedies and an original episode of “CSI: Miami”, as the network finished in third overall, but a solid second among A18-49 (just a half point off from first place Fox in the demo).
Rounding out the rest of the evening was NBC in a competitive fourth place, and The CW in last place. About The CW, the network can’t be too pleased that One Tree Hill faded by nearly a half million viewers (-420,000/14%) and 14% among adults 18-49, while lead-in Gossip Girl remained flat from the week prior.
