ABC ‘Dances’ its way to first place for the evening as the network gets week-to-week improvements from its entire lineup.

CBS followed in second place for the evening, quite a bit away in terms of overall audience, but much more competitive among adults 18-49.

New NBC shows Chuck and Journeyman continue to fade slowly, while season two of Heroes has yet to rebound in overall audience, but is still rating strongly among adults 18-49.
